Joint training in Vejle

Our association is holding a joint training session on the afternoon of 22 November in Vejle from 13:00 to 17:30. If enough people are interested, we will go out for dinner together in Vejle afterwards.
You can find the invitation on our website.
You can register via djuportalen.dk under the following item in the list of events:

Come and join us. It's something different from kata and inspiration 🙂
Once we know who is participating, we will arrange shared transport.

Referee course and maintenance module for Jiu-Jitsu referees

will be held in Aarhus, so the club will be busy on the weekend of 1 and 2 November. In addition to being responsible for the practical part of the event, we are also participating with three current referees (Peter, Peter and Simon) in the maintenance module, all of whom will also be instructing the other participants during the course, as well as with Peter in the referee course itself, so we expect to have four referees next year.
We will also be providing candidates for graduation (René, Adam and Sara), so that all the referees have something to watch. The times for the individual graduation are not yet known.

Graduation for kyu grades

We will be holding a graduation on 11 December for grades up to 3rd kyu (green belt). Candidates will be contacted in the coming days and will begin training.
The date for 2nd kyu (blue belt) has not yet been set. There is a puzzle to be solved with candidates, partners, judges (who must be external) and time since the last grading. More information will follow shortly for all relevant parties.

Christmas get-together

This year it will be on Friday 19 December. There will be an opportunity to watch Anika's PhD defence in the afternoon. Then we will find a place in town to get something to eat. After that, seats have been reserved at Den Gyldne Kro from 8 p.m. As usual, everything is at your own expense.
The programme in more detail:
13:30 - The doors to auditorium 1252-204 (Eduard Biermann auditorium) open to the public (address: Søauditorierne, Bartholins Allé 3, 8000 Aarhus)
14:00 - Welcome and start of the lecture, followed by a lively discussion with the opponents
16:00-ish - We will receive a decision on whether Anika is a doctor in all countries other than Denmark. Immediately afterwards, there will be drinks, free play, and kisses (from Anika or someone else) for all those present.
18:00-ish Dinner somewhere in town. (Anika takes her family by the arm (after wiping away the sweat of anxiety) and gets something to eat somewhere else).
20:00 - Festive atmosphere required at Den Gyldne Kro (address: Åboulevarden 17, 8000 Aarhus)
Registration is necessary to ensure there are enough seats for everyone. Please reply by email if you want to attend and what you want to participate in.
