Seminar Notice:
Jiu-jitsu fighting system & ne-waza seminar this Saturday and Sunday with national referee & Team Canada coach Ryan Bowen.
Info and registration:
For primarily ne-waza training clubs, Coach Ryan will focus Saturday's 1-5pm seminar on the strategy, drills and rules for ne-waza.
For clubs that also practice striking and want to learn how to incorporate it into ne-waza, plus takedowns, this will be in the 10am-2pm Sunday seminar.
Anyone is welcome to participate either day or both.
Since this is a strategy, drills and rules seminar with no free sparring, this will be a comfortable atmosphere to learn at your own speed.
There is interest in creating a province wide ne-waza competitive circuit open to any amateur that is Sport BC recognized, so I look forward to hearing anyone's opinions on this topic at the seminar.
Coach Ryan is on the board for the national sport organization Cdn Jiu-Jitsu Association working with Sport Canada, and he can explain more this weekend because if an athlete makes Team Canada, they are fully-funded to go to amateur Worlds in both ne-waza and fighting system.
