I started Jitsu at the age of 4 and am currently a Junior Senior Primary. I love Jitsu because of the friends I have made from all over the world, and our club feels like a family. I love the fitness and competitive side of Jitsu as it has helped me to excel as an individual in other aspects of my life such as school and other sports. I also really enjoy the teaching side of Jitsu as it has enabled me to gain confidence in myself and earn the respect of others, due to this I find leadership rolls easy in school and be able to confidently communicate in front of a group. Two years ago I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, this has not affected my performance in Jitsu at all. In fact it is due to this I am now more determined than ever to prove to myself and others that I am still fully capable of defending the grade I wear. My proudest moment was the last atemi competition where I won a gold in the black belt category! My first ever gold in that competition and showed everyone and myself that I can still do it, and come back fighting harder than ever. Everyone has been so supportive with my diabetes, from the club and the instructors are very understanding. My passion for Jiu Jitsu just grows every time I'm on the mat and I can't wait to travel and visit all the clubs round the world to learn more.

As a parent, watching my children learn Jiu Jitsu and seeing them develop into young able adults has been a joy in my life. The friendships they have made, the communication skills they have learnt and the confidence they have gained is priceless. And to top it all, they have good self defence skills! My Jiu Jitsu world is an extended family to me, the children, the parents, the instructors and the whole ethos of the Jitsu culture is second to none. Joyti, Parent
