I’m putting myself forward for the role of President, as Jiu Jitsu has been a huge part of my life for the past 5 years. At my previous club, I would teach on a regular basis, and I would love the opportunity to share the knowledge I’ve gained with UCLBJJ. I think the benefits of Jiu Jitsu are innumerable, and I want to share this incredible sport with as many people as possible, and help the club grow in any way I can. Last year, I received my purple belt, and I have aspirations to continue developing my own Jiu Jitsu whilst living in London, in order to be the best asset to UCLBJJ I can be. I want to help create an inclusive and hard-working culture within the club, with a focus on making students feel comfortable and empowered no matter their level of experience. Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic way to develop close friendships with people you would never normally meet, so I want to put an emphasis on the social aspect of the society, and work with the rest of the committee to create more opportunities for club members off of the mats.

I can’t wait to see the club develop and improve next year. See you all on the mats soon!
