Embu Competition 1999

During the early part of 1999, Temple Park and Boldon Clubs took part in a trial Embu competition. The positive feedback we recieved from this lead to the formation of the first Regional competition held later that year.

What is Embu? Well simply put it's a demonstration of a variety of aspects of Ju jitsu demonstrated by two students. An Embu would generally contain: punches; blocks; kicks; throws; takedowns; locks; hold downs.

With each opponent continually countering the technique until one person emerges as a victor. Pictured here are the winners:

Steven Hall; Ross Jenkins; Samantha Clingly; Nicola Smith; Andrew Campbell; Helen Shaw; Michael Wood.

Regional Competition Oct 1999

October saw the birth of the first of many successful regional competitions.

Students from all clubs around the area took part in a tightly fought competition. This competition has lead the area to develop new cateogories for competition: fast throws; sparring and ground work. The methods which have been developed are designed so that competitors have a greatly reduced risk of injury.

Fighters magazine printed an article about the competition in the March 2000 edition. If you want to see the magazine and the colour photo's get your newsagents to supply you.
