WEBBS and Jukoshin Jiu-jitsu Master Shihan Michael Legg

Shihan Michael Legg is the Shihan or Chief Instructor for the UK. He is a friend and many year student of Soke Bryan Cheek.

I have been lucky to have attended several of his seminars, the most recent this year (2014) when he was over from London.

At the WEBBS World Congress in Lisbon Portugal 2013, I was offered a change to be an instructor. Which of course I jumped at. Well before you now it standing on my mat is Shihan Michael Legg and several other master level martial artists, talk about pressure. It turned out to be a wonderful teaching experience and fun was had by all.

Shihan Legg and the other master instructors were there to check me out for sure but it was more than that. You could see in their eyes the desire to learn something new or discover a new way of doing something that they had not thought of. The source of the information didn't matter, in this case me, a junior black belt (3rd Deg.). They were open minded and willing to learn from anybody, at any time and anywhere.

This is what makes Shihan Michael Legg and the others I was working with true martial arts masters, of course the 30 to 40 years of training and amazing technique don’t hurt either!


You never know where a good idea or technique will come from so always keep an open mind and be ready to learn.
