Robsco 1319 posts	Monday 16th April 2007 at 19:27 Hey Nick, I've taught at that club when I've visited back home (if it is the same one, sounds it). Dave's a very sound fella as are the rest of the club. I'm not even sure if Dave is still running it, not heard from him and Sue (his missus) for a few months. But even so, the rest of the crowd were a good lot when I taught a few times. If not I'm sure control was gonna be handed over to a guy called Damian (also mentioned on your link), and he certainly sounded like he'd be a great instructor. The club was never too formal, so ya wouldn't be put off after your first class. There's always gonna be some 'traditions' but they didn't worry too much about it. Another guy signed the guestbook here from Grimsby a couple of weeks ago, his website is [link=http://www.grimsbyjujitsu.googlepages.com/]http://www.grimsbyjujitsu.googlepages.com/[/link]. Apparently they also teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, although I've not heard of any BJJ training in Grimsby or Cleethorpes, so wouldn't get too excited. Want me to send you Dave's (and maybe Sue's) email address? The Admin Guy

Hey Nick,

I've taught at that club when I've visited back home (if it is the same one, sounds it). Dave's a very sound fella as are the rest of the club.

I'm not even sure if Dave is still running it, not heard from him and Sue (his missus) for a few months. But even so, the rest of the crowd were a good lot when I taught a few times.

If not I'm sure control was gonna be handed over to a guy called Damian (also mentioned on your link), and he certainly sounded like he'd be a great instructor.

The club was never too formal, so ya wouldn't be put off after your first class. There's always gonna be some 'traditions' but they didn't worry too much about it.
