- Thank You for the Awards Banquet Donations!
-
A heartfelt thank-you for all the generous donations from individuals, families and businesses for the NGMA Awards Banquet raffles. The raffles raised a combined total of $1,600.00! We had the largest attendance ever at the banquet held recently on Sunday, May 23, 2010 with close to 250 people.
We had an early dinner followed by a special performance by Professor DiRico as well as performances from our students, awards, adult and kids raffle tables, and a ceremony for the new black belt ranks.
It was a special day topped off by Professor DiRico awarding Shihan with his Rokudan (6th degree black belt).
All the proceeds from the raffles will go towards our NGMA college scholarship fund and to offsetting tournament fees for our students.
Congratulation to instructor Vincent Luczkow’s new title, Mister Vincent.
Lastly, our 2010 recipient for the NGMA College Scholarship Fund is Miss Cassinda Hickey who will receive $2,000.00 a year for all 4 years of college. Congratulations, Miss Cassinda!

Jiava Ryu Jujitsu is a practical street self-defense that has been developed by Master Jiava from over 20 years of experience. Students will gain an understanding of how to control the attacker in a variety of real life situations. Students will learn how to defend against open hand attacks from the front and back and also how to defend against knives and clubs. Prepare yourself by learning in a safe class environment.
There is a separate class fee and tuition rates can be found posted at the dojo. You do not need to be a NGMA student to study with Master Jiava. You can contact Master Jiava directly at 508-904-6590 or at Jiavaryujujitsu@comcast.net
