What you should know about Wellington Judo And Jujitsu Academy
The club president, Len Woods, from Ealing, another London club, was the highest graded member at Nikyu Blue belt and like myself a former Royal Marine. It was finally decided at a special meeting in Lower Hutt that the best way to get the sport off the ground was to recognize the grades of the those who claimed to be black belts and promote to Shodan the majority of members who were running clubs! So Len Woods was graded to Shodan the first Dan grade in Wellington. John was then a BJA Nidan And a very skillful player and all round and a very skillful player from both the Budokwai and Renshuden clubs. He advised me to study other Martial arts, so he sent me to Mass Oyama’s Kyokushin Karate dojo in Ikebukuro and Ueshiba’s Aikido Honbu on the outskirts of Shinjuku.
To increase membership I decided to introduce Karate and Aikido. Luckily we had the collective engineering and building skills between us And we soon turned it into a first class dojo! Meanwhile we all regularly visited and trained with members of the other Wellington regional clubs, which helped to keep up a good standard in the area. Then came a period of many moves! By this time a local architectural firm two of whose members were training at the club agreed to underwrite the expenses. The club then moved again to a dilapidated building straddling Hansen and Tasman Street, next to a Kyokushin Karate club.
There will be no judo practice at the Academy on the weekend of 8 9 April because of the Wellington Open Judo Champs. Patrick has a rich history in martial arts and a unique connection with Japan. He also received his 2nd Dan and branch instructor’s grade in Kyokushin Karate from Mas Oyama and was also fortunate enough to train under the eccentric O Sensei, Morihei Ueshiba in Aikido. Patrick was captain of the New Zealand Judo team in 1966, and training partner for Rick Littlewood during Rick’s build up to the 1972 Olympics.
He was inducted into the New Zealand Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 200 along with Rick Littlewood his close friend of many years. There will be no judo practice at the Academy on the weekend of 8 9 April because of the Wellington Open Judo Champs. There are also office holders and an executive committee that are charged with istering and running the club in accordance with these rules. A strong junior club meet in a dojo running from John’s double garage in Miramar.
John also saw the introduction of Jujitsu which rapidly grew the seniors numbers at the time
