Online Classes & Tuition.


Our two children have been wanting to start martial arts classes for a while and the current climate hasn't made it easy to sort that out but after seeing an advert on Facebook for School of Blackbelts we decided to just go for it and join.

From the first communication the team have been so enthusiastic and professional, we can't recommend them enough.

The online classes via Zoom are so engaging and the children are highly praised for their efforts.

The effect on both of our children since starting the online classes has been so positive, they have loved getting to grips with what is a new sport for them and they have relished the structure and routine in their week. They look forward to burning off excess energy in a positive way led by coaches that are clearly passionate in their work.

A huge well done School of Blackbelts for keeping things going through these strange times!

Parent Testimonial



"My Boys have been attending School of Black Belts for nearly 8 years now and I cannot speak highly enough of each and every member of staff. They treat each student as if they were their own and push them to reach their full potential.

These were much needed classes to help the metal health of not only students but also the parents to give them 45minutes of peace!!

Teaching is tailored depending the ability of the group and the 'shout outs' that students get in the class give them a confidence boost. Teaching is tailored depending the ability of the group and the 'shout outs' that students get in the class give them a confidence boost.

Parents Review


Stumbled across SOBB 10 years ago by chance. A remarkable place for children, (an adults), to learn physical an social skills, but more importantly and this sometimes gets overlooked, confidence, physiological an mental toughness to try an set them up in a tough world we live in today. Outside of family life, SOBB has played a vital part in our 2 daughters young years in life. From Tiger club to 2nd Dan black belt. Great tutors, great mentors, great place for the family.
