Martial arts seminar

Posted on Published

Like last year, we are cooperating with some of the other martial arts groups of NTNUI and arranging a martial arts exchange seminar, where we get to try several sports related to our own, in one day at sunday march 17th. We will (at least) have judo, karate, taekwondo and aikido and divide the time between us so we get to try everything. This was very fun last time, and I highly reccomend it! Because of the space in the Dragvoll dojo, we have about five spots available (+1 sensei Georg) for us judo guys. So please let me know if you want to join, I might need volunteers 😉 and its also cool to try. It will be a Norwegian sandwich lunch together between practises, and thereby the seminar has a small price of 50NOK.

Plan for the seminar Sunday march 17th:

11:00-13:00: Practise

13:00-15:00: Lunch at campus Dragvoll

15:00-17:00: Practise

I am looking forward to it! Here are some pictures from last time to allure you:

Practises spring 2019

Happy new year, welcome to a new judo year and thanks for last time (a very enjoyable christmas feast with baking, mulled wine, xmas beer, french plum spirits, gingerbread and clementines)! This semester we will have a couple exciting changes. Firstly, from first practice of the semester, on monday 7th of january, we are practising on Sit Dragvoll gym. Some of you might remember the dojo there from the martial arts seminar we had with aikido, ju-jitsu, taekwondo and karate last year. This is a nice dojo, that is bigger than the one on Gløshaugen, and has mats that does not have as painfully much friction. I hope this new location can attract even more exchange students and campus Dragvoll and Moholt students. In the beginning of the semester, it is usually no problem getting a free pass to try practising, before getting membership.

We also hope all our old members joins us at Dravoll for practise, at Samfundet for social beers, seminars, graduation and other social events in 2019.

The second change right now is the practise hours which are:

Monday: 19:30 – 21:00

Wednesday: 19:30 – 21:00

To all our new members, I recommend you to join our Facebook-side, and I wish you welcome to practise!

End of semester + graduation + social + construction update

Posted on Published

The semester is going towards the end and the gym is going to have some reconstruction. The construction begins at monday 10th, making our last practise wednesday 5th of december. The week after, at thursday 13th, we are therefore planning to do something social; drink gløgg (mulled wine), make gingerbread or something else (open for suggestion).

Before that, graduation will be on monday 3rd. This is a useful experience wether you are graduating or not, so please join anyhow (curriculum on the old website linked on the front page). Graduation including a new belt costs 200 NOK for yellow and 100 NOK for others, but you only pay you make the next rank (and want proof). Feel free to ask questions in advance. This is paid to same account as usual: 8601 51 63471, mark with: “[Name] + graduation”.

Next semester our location will either be at campus Kalvskinnet, a gym in Nardo or at the Sit Dragvoll dojo. We are probably back at Gløshaugen in august.

my best to you,
Georg (George/Georges/Geórgios/György/Jorge/Jurj)

Social beer

Posted on Published

At practise this week, we agreed on taking a social beer at Samfundet after practise on monday. It is alway nice and different to get to know eachother outside the dojo and talk about anything and everything. A great social environment makes great practises by increasing teamwork and teamfeel. This is why I hope everybody who can, joins this practise, or even just the social beer. It might also be a good idea to bring your water bottle and towel to practise to stay hydrated and clean until we go down the hill to Samfundet together 🙂 Here you can buy many kinds of beer ofcourse, but also whiskey (Güray), water, wine, milkshake, food, cake or whatever if you want something else. Join!

Fall semester 2018

Posted on Published

First practise of the semester will be on monday 27th! Be there or be square! Through the semester we will practise both techniques and fighting. Hopefully we will have some joint practises and activities with the other martial arts groups of NTNUI, as we have before, and of course have a good time within our group.  We will adapt our practises to fit your needs and help you get a better judoka! At the end of the semester, the beginners and  intermediates who are ready, get a chance to graduate and get a new belt.

The training hours are unchanged until further notice. Here is a reminder of them:

Mondays: 19:30 – 21:00

Wednesdays: 19:00 – 21:00

Dont hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
