The Passing of a Martial Arts Icon
Professor Wally Jay passed away over the Memorial Day weekend at the age of 93. I met Professor Jay about 25 years ago and have had the opportunity to train and talk with him many times. Professor Jay’s Small Circle Jujitsu (SCJJ) is an integral part of the Checkmate Jujitsu System. Professor Jay and my instructor Dave Castoldi met and became friends in the early to mid 70’s. Shortly after that Professor Jay started incorporating Professor Castoldi’s Weapons defense in the the SCJJ system. Professor Jay will be missed by so many people! Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Bernice and son Leon.
RIP and Aloha Professor Jay!

Plan on getting lots of reps this week as we work basic reactionary drills designed to keep you in action time. This week’s focus will be on the relationship between Action / Reaction and how to stay in action time. We will also be working drills to get ahead of the reactionary curve and put uke in reaction time!
there will be no adult Judo class tonight! Be safe!
