Jim, 21, i$ well-known in jitsu school. He was in -
the Wingham area for the •trigued and went to find out
school of jiu-jitsu which he more about it; within a week
runs at the Wingham Legion he was a member.
Jim's flexibility made him
a natural for jiu-jitsu and he
earned his brown belt in just
over one year. It takes most
people three to five years to
earn a brown belt, he
reported.
His accomplishments in
the field of martial arts
made him an obvious choice
for the Canadian team. The
Canadian Jiu-Jitsu As-
sociation contacted Jim
by letter to inform him that
he had been selected for the
team. No tryouts were
necessary.
He said the Jacksonville
tournament which starts
Oct. 2 will bring together
approximately. 40 jiu-jitsu
fighters from all over North
America.
Like • boxing, jiu-jitsu
fighting is done in a ring with
a referee in -three, three-
minute rounds. Judges score
the fighters on ability and
style and the use of basic jiu-
jitsu movements such as
kicks, punches and throws.
Jim explained jiu-jitsu as a
"combination of all the
martial arts". It is different
from the other arts in that it
emphasizes self defense,
using the hands and feet.
Students are taught to throw,
kick and punch; he added
that "anyone can learn jiu-
„
jitsu".
At present Jim is training
rigorously for the Florida
tournament by running and
practicing moves every
night. -
D,ne to the recent mail
strike, team members were
notified of the meet too late
to apply for a Wintario grant,
therefore each member
must pay his own way.
Jim estimated that he will
require $700 for the trip to
cover his plane fare and
accommodation. He is
hoping some local 'service

He also is well-known in
martial arts circles as a keen
competitor and the holder of
several impressive titles: He
was the Canadian jiu-jitsu
champion in 1977-78 and the
North American champion
in 1978-79.
