Sensei Ed Melaugh had the honor of being named one head instructors of Small Circle Jujitsu^TM, hand picked by the founder of Small Circle Jujitsu^TM, Professor Wally Jay. Ed's teachers include Sensei Dave Castoldi, Professor Wally Jay and Sijo James W. DeMile. He began his martial arts career training in 1972 under Sensei Dave Castoldi and was his first student to become a black belt. Sensei Melaugh's association with Professor Wally Jay began in 1978 by learning to use simple and efficient motions of Small Circle Jujitsu^TM. Training with Sijo DeMile added another important component to Small Circle Jujitsu^TM, entering and trapping to engage the opponent. The blend of Sensei Dave Castoldi's Street Jujitsu^TM, and Sijo DeMile's Wing Chun Do fit perfectly to create an unparalleled system of practical effective street self-defense, Small Circle Jujitsu^TM . Woburn, Massachusetts based Sensei Melaugh has been running a thriving martial arts school since 1990 called the New England Small Circle Jujitsu^TM Academy. Ed teaches Small Circle Jujitsu^TM to many law enforcement officers, including the FBI DEA, Cid, Treasury State Local, and corrections officers. Small Circle Jujitsu^TM works perfectly with the law officers defensive tactics needs. Ed was a board member for Small Circle Jujitsu^TM International and is currently a Regional Director for Region 1 for the United States Sport Jujitsu® Association and a member of Jujitsu America. From JA, he received the Presidential Award in 1990, Instructor of the Year award in 1993 and was inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame in 1995. Sensei Melaugh won the Self Defense category in the first 1996 Sport Jujitsu World Championships held South Charleston, West Virginia.
