I'm standing for President because I want The Jitsu club to be more than just weekly trainings. I believe it deserves to be a fully-fledged university society with socials, preceding reputation and most importantly, a sense of community. The last club president completely abandoned the club, in addition to Covid-19 among other things this has lead to the club being depleted of resources (i.e. insufficient training space, not having the money to completely subsidize event attendance). If put in place I could use my experience from being on the commitees for other societies to plan socials outside of training, secure funding to allow attendance for events off-campus, in addition to trying to find a larger space to train in, so that we can safely expand the club.

I am keen on the mindset behind Jiu Jitsu and more precisely the cohesion between members of this martial art across London. Jiu Jitsu helped me keep a calm mindset after stressful days at UCL. I would like to give back some of what I have received by supporting the development of this society.
This familial mindset inspires me and is the reason why I would like to put myself forward as the next President of the Jiu Jitsu Society.
As a Mathematics student, I will make logical decisions to lead the Jiu Jitsu society in the right directions. I am the co-founder of a Start-Up, so I am confident leading a team while listening to the needs of others. I also have experience directing meetings with company leaders and will be able to apply these skills to negotiate on behalf of the Jiu Jitsu Society with the Student Union.
UCL Jiu Jitsu society has strong connections with other Jiu Jitsu societies across London but could develop its connections with other martial art societies within UCL. I would like for example to advertise Jiu Jitsu alongside other martial art societies to give a taster session of every different martial art in a limited amount of time. I would of course be open to any potential suggestions!
We need now more than ever a leader able to return the prestige of the Jiu Jitsu Society. I believe I can be that leader!
