“Karate is the best thing you can do for your child”
Our children's classes teach the number one children's programme in the country. Our classes work hand in hand with a child’s schoolwork, providing improved self-discipline, self-confidence, concentration, mental alertness, co-operation, goal setting advice and anti bully skills. Young people are taught at Castle Black Belt Academythat through dedicated, intense work, all worthwhile goals in life are possible. Parents have attributed our programme with improved school grades as a direct result of the increased achievement motivation, self-direction and self-confidence provided by the programme.
Working with the Local Schools
We see ourselves as educators and not just martial arts teachers. We run "schools" and not "clubs." We try and build a relationship up with your Childs academic schoolteacher as we are all working towards the same goal of building your child a successful future.
All young students in our children's programme are required to take a specially designed form to their Parents once a month. This has to be signed off to make sure they are behaving well at school and showing love and respect to there family before the student can be considered to be put forward for an exam to take them to their next grade.
The goal is to make sure those educational values that we teach in our martial arts classes are used in all areas of their life.
One thing they are taught though is that the physical side of what we teach them should only ever be used in a self-defence situation. This is something that we are very strict on and it is constantly stressed to all students that Martial arts skills require them never to be abusive or offensive and is only to be used defensively.
Courage
At Castle Black Belt Academy our students find the courage to move outside of their comfort zone. We teach our students that they can always do better by setting and achieving new goals they will themselves, take on more difficult karate moves and skills. They will see their lives as a constant journey of improvement. Our members will refuse to become a victim of fate. In short, with a deep breath, they refuse to become a victim of fate. They learn to create their own destiny and future.
Staying power
Our students find joy in improving their physical stamina. They will learn to also think in a positive way and never to give up on any task. Our students are taught to practice skills until they get them right, and never give up! They strive harder and longer to reach goals. Even if at first they fail, they persevere until they get to where they want to be. The they will not let self doubt or dream stealers get in the way of their own personal progress and future.
Powerful Self-control
Our members will refuse to give up to negative peer pressure and give up. They are taught to respect parents, teachers and the law. They are taught what is right and what is wrong through our life skills programme. Self-control is a major skill for a child to learn and live with in order to become a Black Belt at Castle Black Belt Academy.
Improved Focus
They'll learn what's needed, along with the skill to "zero in" on critical tasks at hand. Normal, yet time-wasting, childhood distractions won't get in the way of there success!
Fearless Self-Confidence
Watch as your child finds the courage to open any door life has to offer. Your child will develop the “I can do anything” attitude.
Goal Setting
Setting goals is the "road map" of life. It has been said that "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail." On the road towards a Black Belt, the student gains the experience and motivation for success by earning progressively higher belt grades. Success is the reward for goal setting.
Self-defence
And of course they will learn effective and powerful self-defence skills, (after all, we are a Martial Arts Academy), as well as the fundamental attitudes appropriate to those tools. We will teach your child effective safety skills such as our “Stranger Danger programme”.
Black Belt is our Goal
It is important for each child to learn to set short-term, intermediate, and long-term goals. At the Castle Black Belt Academy every students goal is Black Belt and beyond. Black belt is a symbol of excellence in martial arts and an important tool for instructors and parents to use for developing desire, determination and for teaching the importance of follow-through in any activity. Our students are taught never to give up at any given task and that they can do anything as long as they just put their mind to it.
Towering Role-Model Teachers
As you might guess, all of this couldn't have happened unless we had the very best teachers. To make sure we have the very best, each of our teachers have years of experience in our system and has been thoroughly trained in positive teaching methods. All our Instructors have monthly specialised training in order to keep up with the latest teacher techniques and advancements at Castle Black Belt Academy
