Bren Addict 123 posts	Thursday 29th September 2005 at 12:39 Jikishin are tied in with the BJJA are they not? My lot were looking at changing to BJJA for recognition and to raise the clubs profile but the BJJA have a lot of demands that did not impress too much. It would have cost everyone twice as much insurance, new (official BJJA) gis all round, BJJA first aid courses and BJJA Martial Arts NVQs (WTF) for Dan grades. I realise that the BJJA are a big organisation with a lot of members who are more than happy with them but personally I'd rather spend my cash on training rather than merchandise. (Apologies to any BJJA members, no offence intended)

Bren Addict 123 posts	Thursday 29th September 2005 at 16:24 Good point Rob. What I'm trying to say is, why insist on people completing "your" first aid course if they already have first aid qualifications and as for NVQs, I had to do an NVQ assessors course for work which was more about rubber stamping paperwork than teaching or testing ability. THe old adage, NVQ = Not Very Qualified. Just a money making scheme for accountants. Surely it's part of any grading (at higher grades) not just to check people can do techniques but are also capable of explaining and teaching them to lower grades.

It is nice to know that the organisation is run correctly, with instructors who "sing off the same hymn sheet". Due to the large amount of kids, all instruction is given by police checked people. This sort of organisation may cost a bit more than the independants, but i think it`s worth it. We all think our way is best, and it must be difficult to loose control. Maybe the benefits out weigh the negatives. Individual choice. "Bee"
