TESTIMONIALS

Joel has built a lot of confidence since joined kickboxing in may 2004, he has built up a lot of muscle . Joel was bullied till he started kickboxing.
Sam Jones

 
Black Belt Academy are words I can say with pride. I used to get bullied frequently at school but when I turned to the Black Belt Academy they showed me how to deal with such problems. They have also done wonders for my confidence. I try things and give them a go.
There is one major thing that they have taught me though and that is ‘You can do anything if you put your mind to it’
Jack Ashcroft

Since joining the black belt academy my partner Darren Collingwood and children Megan and Jake have grown in confidence and as well as keeping them healthy they enjoy doing it as a family.

My name is Darren Collingwood I am 32 and have been at the Buxton Black Belt Academy now for a year, along with two of my children Megan 11and Jake 8, initially I intended for them to take classes.
I wanted them to gain fitness learn self defence but the main reason was to increase their self confidence as they are quite shy.
I saw how much they enjoyed their classes and decided to join as well, I liked playing football at the time and was already quite an athletic person I thought this would be more challenging, and I was right, plus it is a lot more rewarding than getting up early every Sunday morning only to loose another game due to lack of team effort.
We are all pleased when grading comes around, so we need to put in the effort and focus
