Each month, one member at Ichinen Bridport is called the martial artist of the month. This fine tradition goes back to 2015, when one of the Jiu-Jitsu students attended the training twice a week regularly despite having to go straight to his night shift work after the dojo.
Since then, members have received this precious honour. Others for example qualified for being the only child and training up to yellow belt just with adult partners. He did very well cope with all those much larger and older training partners and stood his ground in self-defence tests against all individuals.
One little girl was awarded to be the youngest in the group and never missed a single session. Others got this award for attending the most hours at the dojo and making the fastest progress in studies or one reaching 400 hours of Jiu-Jitsu training.
May there be loads more, and become a good example for others within the club. Last month, February 2025 senior Paul Blake and Ebby from the juniors got awarded. Congratulations!!!
