THE Mount Gambier Jujitsu Club was in the spotlight recently when Jik Cheung Kung Fu Australia hosted its first cross training seminar for the club.
The morning session saw instructors Sifu Amedeo Cella, Sidai Anthony Baseley and Sidai Terry Farrell all provide valuable insight into various drills, hand techniques and applications from Muk Yan Chong Fa (wooden dummy).
The insight provided opportunity for the Jujitsu students to develop new methods of engaging with an opponent and new ways of leading into their own techniques.
Following a barbecue lunch, Sensei Dave Grassi took over the afternoon timeslot and demonstrated multiple Tai Sabaki movements, with a strong focus on developing appropriate footwork to off-balance and move around the opponent.
Students were provided with multiple approaches, which allowed for the application of “wrist crunches” or joint locks, as well as throws and groundwork.
