A massive thank you to Master Gerald McAlister 7th degree Black Belt and his incredible team comprising Master Karl Dougherty 5th degree Black Belt, Sensei Reza Shahmohammadi 2nd degree Black Belt, Sensei Alex McCartan 1st degree Black Belt, & Sensei Anthony Dean 1st degree Black Belt from Down Community Jujitsu Club for delivering introductory self-defence lessons to our Year 9. Students were taught self-defence techniques using a ‘hands-on approach’, gaining valuable skills on how to keep themselves and others safe.
It was also great to welcome back former student Sensei Alex McCartan as one of the team of demonstrators. Alex was working his way through the belts during his time at Shimna and it was wonderful to see him passing on his skills to the next generation.
Check out the film and see for yourself the normally mild-mannered Mr Bennett unleashing his jujitsu energy!
