• Great grappling in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!

  Tue 29 Nov 2022

  Yesterday, all children in KS1 and KS2 were treated to a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu taster session with coaches from the Blaydon Grapplers. It was fantastic fun, but also brilliant to learn about the different holds and throws. All children were given a flyer to bring home, showing the session times at their new base of Blaydon Rugby Club. We look forward to hearing which children have joined the club.
