For you
I welcome comparison.
My success of teaching martial arts for 40 years is not down to slick marketing or unrealistic claims so that is why I welcome everyone to come along and have a look, talk to the students and parents. Also make comparisons at the standards of our students against those from other martial arts clubs.
Why are we better?
The main priority for parents is to be sure that your children are safe and happy. I make sure that the training reflects your child's needs coupled with developing them to become not only a high preforming black belt but a success in life. I have many, many examples of taking a young person and filling them with confidence, courage and the strength to excel in adulthood.
What can you expect?
When a child enters our training family, they are welcomed and supported to be in an included member.
Very quickly they make new friends so it is them who are keen to attend training rather then the parent having to force them.
Having said that, I am not a child minder so through fun, discipline and exercise they learn that rewards come from work and commitment.
Belts and Achievements.
All the students are provided with clear bench marks and supported to achieve them. Only when they are ready, will they be put forward to grade for their next belt. I do not use multiple variations of belts to keep students interested (or the parents paying) but I make it my responsibility to build them up to be able to achieve the skills required to be a real martial artist.
PLEASE NOTE: It breaks my heart when I have parents bring their children who have previously trained in other clubs. Inspite of every effort I make, it is sometimes difficult to explain how they seem to find it harder to keep up with younger students of much lower grades. Having said that, for those who are keen to learn and grow, with the parents help and support we do manage to bring them up to a standard that they can be proud of.
