2001-2002 Rutgers University Jujitsu Club Officers

Rank: Nikyu Member since: September 1999

Bio: Kevin is a junior at Rutgers University's Livingston College where his is pursuing a double major in something and something else. He was one of the three club members voted to attend the 2000 National Convention in Idaho and also attended the 2001 National Convention in California, but was forced to walk there. Kevin's favorite Yawara variation used to be blinding his uke with the brilliant shininess of his head and chin, now he just giggles at them.

Rank: Gokyu Member since: January 2000

Bio: Robert Jones was born on a fishing trawler in the Adriatic Sea. He spent most of his formative years in the role of ship's cook and entertaining the crew with his impressions of Lucille Ball and nage-based juggling acts. Since washing up on the banks of the old Raritan, he has engaged in such self-destructive behaviors as double majoring in physics and biology in addition to being "pre-med" (whatever that means).

Rank: Nikyu Member since: September 1999

Bio: Dan is a junior in the Rutgers College General Honors Program where he is pursuing a major in Chemistry and a Biological Sciences minor. Jujitsu is his first martial-art. Dan's last job was as a hospital specimen courier, which he enjoyed because, "[he] could wear [his] pajamas to work and no one would notice." Dan is reportedly the owner of a suspiciously successful self-titled Japanese restaurant. He, however, denies it's his.

Rank: Gokyu Member since: September 2000

Bio: She's English.

Rank: Gokyu Member since: January 2000

Bio: Marco is a junior in the Rutgers College General Honors Program where he is pursuing a major in Computer Science and a double minor in Psychology and Cognitive Science. Marco is best known for his "giggling kiai", which he perfected with Kevin's much appreciated assistance. Marco's nicknames change on a bi-monthly rotation; recent selections include 'Spot' and 'Dan'. Even though he is only a Gokyu, Marco's forward-thinking fellow jujitsuka have selected the name of his future dojo to be: Tetsu-Sen Dicon, which when creatively translated means: Iron Potato.
