Aiuchi Nationals Competition

Cost: £26

This is the main event of the Aiuchi calendar. The event comprises of 2 days of training and competitions based on skill level.

Auichi Clubs from all over the UK come together to train together under some of the most experienced and skilled Jiu Jitsu instructors in Europe.

Day 1

Day 1: The Weekend kicks off with 4 hrs of training on Saturday morning followed by competition heats. Competitors are split into categories based on skill level (belts) and compete in gauntlets and Vs whilst being cheered on by their friends and colleagues. The competitors are scored on technical ability, style, control and aggression.

The first day on the mat then finishes with a warm down and talk through the evening activities.

The Party: Saturday night comprises of a get together at at a local venue involving food, the odd drink and plenty of socialising. Its a great opportunity to let your hair down and get to know what other Jistukas get up to when their not rolling around on the mat. (probably rolling around on the dance floor) But try not to have too late a night as training on day 2 will start promptly at 1100hrs.

Day 2

Day 2: The day starts with a “gentle” warmup to clear people’s heads from the night before, then 4 more hours of training. The afternoon is taken up with the finals for each category followed by the instructors competition (browns and dans). After this the trophies are awarded and everybody says their goodbyes until the next course.
