Soke Robert Clark
(02 Febbraio 1946 – 08 Febbraio 2012)
Born in Liverpool, he started practicing martial arts when he was 6 years old. His teacher was Jack Britton one of the 5 best students of the famous M ° Kawaichi. 9th dan of ju jitsu, charismatic man, he was the founder and technical director of the Wjjf as well as a profound connoisseur of ju jitsu and other martial arts. We owe to him the real development of ju jitsu all over the world and the promotion of old schools through modern methods and constant updates of ancient Samurai techniques, always keeping in mind the forms of the ancient Japanese martial art.
Traditional ju jitsu uses long and wide movements that are not in keeping with the life of our day (as today the threats are fast, immediate and simple). Soke Robert Clark gave ju jitsu a modern perspective and absorbed the ease of learning it and applying the principles of self-defense. One of the latest honors that he has been awarded is that of "Knight of the Order of the Roman Eagle", on May 3, 2008.
