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.

Atemi Nationals Course & Competition (18+)
Saturday & Sunday 22nd & 23rd November 2025
English Institute of Sport Sheffield, Coleridge Rd, Sheffield S9 5DA
This event is a course on the mornings of both days followed by adult competitions in the afternoons.
The Atemi Nationals provide an opportunity to show off your jiu jitsu skills against a range of armed and unarmed attackers. There are two aspects, showing off your technique in a gauntlet-type situation and showing off your skills under pressure in the form of many one-on-one situations in quick succession.
It is always a great event to be at, with sessions taught by the fantastic range of our most senior instructors.
Time to train with lots of new people and catch up with jiu jitsu friends and training partners we've made over the years.
You must have paid and registered at least a week in advance and have a current up-to-date TJJF licence.

Argentina Internationals

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.
