Passing of Professor Wally Jay
It is with great sadness that I have learned that Professor Wally Jay the creator and Grandmaster of Small Circle Jujitsu has passed away at age 93.
He was a great great man that will be missed by millions. I first met Professor Jay as a child and was fortunate to train with him on many occasions.
RIP Professor Jay, I for one will miss you dearly....

Our Great Grandmaster and Founder Professor Wally Jay, one of the last great martial artists, has passed on peacefully at 2:20 am California time in Redwood City Kaiser Hospital. Prof Jay experienced a stroke on Tuesday May 24th and on Saturday as per his previous wishes was removed from life support. He survived another 12 hours and had family and friends with him. The Jay Family extends their gratitude to those that were there to lend support and to those that had him in their prayers.
The Jay Family after discussion have decided that to honour his wishes, Prof Leon Jay should continue the seminar in Long Island and Small Circle Jujitsu Camp in Indiana, Wed. June the 1st and 3rd 4th and 5th respectively. He will then continue to California to be with family to make arrangements for the funeral.
We will post more information as needed and have also asked long time loyal family friend, Norm Johnson to post on facebook.
Thank you for your prayers and well wishes,
The Jay Family
