The 2010 Cyclone Dojo Aiki Kenpo Ju-Jutsu competition was a great success with 86 competitors representing three Aiki Kenpo Ju-Jutsu clubs in two styles of traditional Ju-Jutsu competition. The clubs represented were Arana Hills, Northlakes and Mount Gravatt and all of them put in excellent performances. These three clubs are sister clubs in this style of Ju-Jutsu and it was wonderful to see the cammeraderie between representatives of all three clubs. Arana Hills came away with the lion’s share of the medals but special mention must be made of the mighty effort from the Northlakes club. With only 15 competitors, they came away with 19 of the medals. It was a similar story with the (as always!) strong contingent from Mount Gravatt, bringing 26 competitors to come away with 25 of the medals. The two forms of competition were Kumite (sparring) and Goshin (self-defence). In this part of the world, it is the only competition of it’s type and shows the flexibility of the art of Ju-Jutsu. Those who stayed for all of the divisions saw some UNBELIEVABLE demonstrations of Ju-Jutsu skills in both these events. Every year just gets better and better. Don’t worry if you missed out on some of it. You can go to the cyclonedojo Youtube channel at: http://www.youtube.com/user/cyclonedojo?feature=mhum and access some good videos from there. We haven’t got all the good stuff up; some of it we don’t have footage of and also it should be noted we don’t post direct footage of other’s children without express permission. Pictures are also available to view in an online album from one of the Mt. Gravatt members (thanks for that!). If you have some movies or photos that you would like to get to us or post yourself (please let us know the link!), please feel free to do so. An absolutely HUGE and heartfelt thanks to all the competitors, officials and (never forget) the mums and dads who make this competition possible every year. The purpose of this comp. has always been and will always be to bring together the traditional Ju-Jutsu enthusiasts to show world-class Ju-Jutsu skills AND to provide a family-friendly great day out for the kids. None of that is possible without the support of our members and so once again, THANK YOU! Next year we will have members from even more like-minded Ju-Jutsu clubs and people will be training even harder to out-do the 2010 performances...I can’t wait!
