Southend - Sensei David Patterson - 2nd Dan
Dave Patterson & Gino Muscat
April 2013
It is with huge regret and sadness that we report the death of Sensei Dave Patterson of Southend Ju Jitsu club. Dave had a major heart attack in February 2013 and did not recover consciousness. Our best wishes, kind regards and thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Dave, with Sensei Gino Muscat was co-runner of the Southend club and a valued member of the Jikishin family.
David had been preparing for his 2nd Dan, had been training with Hanshi Brian Herbert and was looking forward to the challenge of the Dan Grading in June. David was awarded his Nidan Grade as a gesture of solidarity and support from his Jikishin family by Hanshi Herbert.
His fellow Sensei Gino Muscat presented the award to David's Son Reece (who trains at the Southend Club) on behalf of Jikishin
Once again I am sure all of you will want join us in sending our best wishes and support to David's family, friends, colleagues and fellow Ju Jitsuka.
The loss of any young man is devastating, and to lose someone as fit and dedicated as Dave is especially sad. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Well respected and dedicated, in particular to the juniors who trained under him, John was a true martial artist.

John Williams - Cheshunt Ju Jitsu Club
It is with regret that we have to report the death of Sensei John Williams (5th Dan) following long term illness. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends and especially his wife Sue.
Sensei John was involved with Martial Arts for over forty years. His initial involvement in the arts was with Judo where he attained black belt status. He later started to practice Ju-Jitsu and was the founder member of the Cheshunt Ju-Jitsu Club which subsequently became a member of the Jikishin Ju-Jitsu Association. He was instrumental in building and developing the club from its origins in 1982 until present day. The club began in the neighbouring hall adjacent to the current building and then moved to the new premises a few years later. Sensei John has been key in improving the premises of the club and it is now designated a centre of excellence for the BJJA (GB).
Many students have passed through the door at the Cheshunt Ju-Jitsu Club to be taught by Sensei John. Some including myself have progressed to black belt status under his guidance. His enthusiasm and passion for Ju-Jitsu has been transferred to his students and this shall be his legacy.
These few words do not do justice to the immense achievements in Ju-Jitsu attained by Sensei John Williams during his lifetime. My fellow students and I will miss him and endeavour to build upon his excellent work at the Cheshunt Club as he would have liked. We are extremely proud to follow in his footsteps.
John Williams our Sensei and friend. Rest in Peace.
