Wednesday 11th February
Self Defence Lesson: by Jim Nayyar
Venue: Scout HQ – 1, Farm Fields, Sanderstead CR2 0HQ (opp Sanderstead Library on corner of Sanderstead Hill and Farm Fields)
Starts at: 7.30 pm
Jim is a black belt 3rd Dan in Jujitsu. He took up Jujitsu at the age of 50 following on from an assault at East Croydon Station. After learning Jujitsu, Jim went on to provide Jujitsu instruction to a wide range of people, including children bullied at school and older people.
In a 2-hr session, which is suitable for people of all ages, abilities and those with disabilities, he can give useful tips and refresh memories on how to defend yourself against any assault. Jujitsu teaches how you can use your opponent’s strength against themselves.
Would you like to learn a few techniques that might be useful for your personal safety? On Wednesday 11th February we have invited Mr Jim Nayyer back to our hall to teach a little of what he has learnt over the years. Supper will be provided from 7pm with the session commencing at 7.30 for a 9.30pm finish. You are welcome to bring along a partner to this activity, but numbers are essential.
