Join the Committe

The club volunteer committee is elected at our Annual General Meeting. Everyone is welcome, everyone is welcome to stand for election but once you get to blue belt is becomes compulsory to commit a few hours a month.

Please note we pay contractors to help us with copy editing, project management, first aid courses, video editing, and photography. If you align with our values and could offer a service contact us at camden@bskf.org.

Thank you

Over the years we have drawn on many other volunteers.

In 2022 Iris Kohler (she/her) took up the post as our Social Media Manager and stepped down in 2024. Iris is based in Germany and has used her time with us in London to focus on BJJ training.

Dan (he/him) has been part of the club since day one. His bravery and coming out journey was instrumental in ensuring that our club is openly queer. In the early days and through lock down he held our community together through social events, birthday and pride parties. He became our founding Club Captain and, until recently, taught our online classes. We are forever grateful for the support he has given the club over the years and will miss him immensely.

We are really grateful Aidan Deiter (he/him) volunteered as our online MC in lock down. And kudos to Helen Males (she/her) brings all the brilliant dressing-up costumes and make-up for our Halloween specials. As well as being our first student to grade.

Many thanks also goes to the talented Sneha Alexander (she/her), who was our Founding Treasurer and Club Secretary in 2019. We are immensely grateful for all the work she has done for the club. Sneha and Gunjan have also led the way in helping us writing grants to get funding.

Thank you to everyone who works to make this club so much fun.
