Evolution Jujutsu

This term has been full speed all the way.

We have continued with our ‘Homework’, focusing on doing good deeds without having to be asked, where the boys have been encouraged to report on how they have been helpful during the week, i.e. helping parents, siblings etc by doing tasks that need to be done, such as making mum breakfast :).  These activities did not include those tasks which the boys should be doing anyway (homework etc) and it was good to see the boys having to think about how to achieve this.

We reward those who show consistency with doing their best in class and so Freddie Bourne, impeccable manners and fantastic focus, and Alex Wang, enormous improvement with his focus this term, were awarded Snake and Leopard patches respectively.

On 14 June 2013, several of the boys were awarded their next grade level:

Red Belt (L1)
Parsa Yazdani
Lachlan James
Kieran Davey-Webb

Red Belt with Stripe (L2)
James Stevens
Jamie Kerr
Marcus Burghen

Gold Belt (L5)
Alex Wang

Boys working toward higher grades have to demonstrate a deeper knowledge off techniques.  Will Fisher, for solid work toward level 5 grade, Gold Belt, was awarded Snake patch, Jack Middleton, working toward L6 Gold Belt, was awarded Tiger patch, and Tristan Henry, who has a little more work to do for his L3 Orange Belt, was also awarded Snake patch.

Grading can be a daunting process so, congratulations to all, an excellent effort overall.

We would encourage parents to read through the syllabus books with their son, since some of the boys need help with this, and it also helps the boys to know parents have an interest in what they are doing.  Parents will also find our Silver Stars programme (included in the syllabus books), encourages good behaviour and habits and is a terrific tool to use with their son.  Plus they get a silver star to put on their shirt.

A reminder that Evolution Jujutsu is open to all boys in Kindy through to Year 6.  If the Friday afternoon timeslot does not suit, Newington boys are welcome to join us in our studio at Level 1, 346 Pacific Highway, Lindfield.  Please see our website  http://www.fitevolution.com.au  for class times, including classes for teens and adults.
