It is always a great event to be at, with sessions taught by the fantastic range of our senior instructors.
Time to train with lots of other juniors and make and catch up with jiu jitsu friends and training partners.

Yorkshire Regional Course
Sunday 2nd November 2025, 12 - 4 pm, £12
Meanwood, LS7 2JF
This first regional course of the academic term is traditionally taught by the Yorkshire Instructors themselves. It is a great way to meet/reconnect with jitsuka from the other clubs in Sheffield, Leeds, York and Bradford and also learn and practice new techniques.
Students who attend regional and national courses tend to embed their understanding better so they are always worth attending.

Sensei Rebecca gives her thoughts on the 2023 Vienna Internationals:
"I attended my first Internationals Course last year in Vienna. It was a chance to meet some amazing jitsuka from all over the world; The two highlights for me were the seminars led by Sensei Robert Horak and Sensei Simon Ogden. Sensei Horak taught about disupting the flow and essentially kuzushi even from a kneeling down position, providing an awesome demonstration of how effective his technique was. Sensei Simon Ogden was extremely technically minded giving clear instruction and explanations for his effortless yet brutally effective techniques."
The Internationals unite TJJF clubs from around the world for a week of training, fun, and socializing. You will experience specialized seminars from exceptional instructors. It is a relaxed, informal, and cheerful get together for all ages to celebrate our art and friendship.
