On a personal note I'm looking forward to this weekend where I will be renewing my NCAS accreditation for jujutsu. I will be a great opportunity to catch up with people I haven't seen in some time and to support the Australian Jujitsu Federation's efforts to promote quality benchmarks for instructors of jujutsu and the related family of arts.

It will also be Brady Albrad's first opportunity to have formally accredited teaching qualifications as an assistant instructor. I hope everyone extends congratulations to Brady on this first of many stepping stones towards his yudansha qualification over the next few years.
