So much more then martial arts! Fantastic coaching and mentoring for young and old!
It's been a real pleasure training here at Blackbelt Leaders. From the most experienced to the newbies everyone gels. Great instruction and a family/team feel. Thank you to everyone at the Do Jo.
A very well run, welcoming and nurturing environment. The instructors and classes are awesome. My son loves coming to class and is learning not just karate mastery, but important life skills and self confidence.
The blackbelt leaders have been the best thing for my two boys!! They absolutely love it, it keeps them very fit, focused and disciplined!! I would recommend it to anyone
This DoJo is a wonderful place to attend packed with positive energy. Its invigorating just sitting on the side-lines watching the training take place. The instructors are fantastic and it has been a pleasure to see my son's skills go from strength to strength. A reflection of a fantastic team and fantastic instructors.
Amazing session this evening. My son was so focused on the Do Jo . I noticed an improvement with his confidence and posture . We enjoyed ourselves and found it to be a really positive learning experience. Definitely one to be repeated.
I joined Blackbelt leaders just less than a year ago and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's changed my life. I had zero confidence, no self esteem, I was unhappy with my weight and how I held myself and I didn't expect to see such a dramatic difference in myself in such a short amount of time, but here I am writing this!

I joined Blackbelt leaders just less than a year ago and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's changed my life. I had zero confidence, no self esteem, I was unhappy with my weight and how I held myself and I didn't expect to see such a dramatic difference in myself in such a short amount of time, but here I am writing this! The team are incredible. They're the most caring and encouraging group and they will never let you fall by the wayside nor do they in anyway make you feel foolish for getting things wrong. They make you want to do your best and when you do your best, they let you know about it. I've lost nearly 3 stone in under a year (this and other things of course, health diet etc) but BBL has been a key factor in that - I couldn't even hold a plank when I first started now I'm VERY nearly doing full sets of press ups :D I've not had this type of encouragement from any other group in my life, so having found a space where I feel completely at ease and 100% myself has been something I really cherish and am very grateful to the team. Its taken me some thought writing this, one because I didn't want it to be too cheesy (lol it definitely is) but two because BBL means a lot to me and has done a lot for me and I wanted to do it justice. 100% sign up, you really won't regret it.

My 8 year old son started going to the dojo as we looked to build up his confidence. He really enjoyed it and we noticed a big improvement in his focus. We then decided to enroll his sister and 4 year old brother and all three of them reallly love the classes. Highly disciplined trainers which rubs of on the students. Recommended if you want to build your childβs confidence
I've been going to Blackbelt Leaders fo nearly 10yrs I can't imagine every leaving. The coaches go above and beyond to teach and help you in so many different ways.

I've been going to Blackbelt Leaders fo nearly 10yrs I can't imagine every leaving. The coaches go above and beyond to teach and help you in so many different ways. I don't only class them my coaches but my friends and family. Since coming to BBL My Coordination, Concentration and Self Confidence has improved tremendously Not Once did they ever judge me. My sister's have special needs one at the time she started was very agresive with ADHD they were so calm with her showed her how to self control her temper within a few months she became a different person so calm. They always said it didn't matter we all had special needs we can become a Blackbelt. I'm a Second Degree Blackbelt my Sister and Brother are Blackbelts and my other Sister is a Recommended Blackbelt so it just goes to show with the help of all the Coaches even people with disabilities can achieve becoming a Blackbelt. We all Highley Recommend Blackbelt Leaders Less

If you, your child/children and/or family are looking to become fitter or are just wanting to start or continue martial arts then you HAVE to come to the Dojo Blackbelt Leaders. The coaches are amazing! They have really helped me grow as a person since I have been coming here. I used to be very quiet and anxious in groups of people. They have helped my confidence grow and I have become a stronger person. They changed my life. They have helped me change my view on myself with encouragement and care. At Blackbelt Leaders it is not just about the classes, it is about friendship, family. I have made some awesome friends since starting and it is lovely when see others progressing on their journey. I am very grateful for all of the students and coaches for helping me feel that I can achieve whatever I want to, no matter how many times I feel like giving up, to stay strong, pick myself up and carry on.

Since our son joined a few weeks ago every session has been the highlight of his week. As parents itβs great to see how much enthusiasm he has and how proud he is of each new skill he learns. All the staff at the dojo are brilliant, so friendly and they keep all the students really motivated with their energy and praise. We wouldnβt hesitate to recommend Blackbelt leaders.
it's the the most friendliest environment, the skills your learning and the confidence you gain really are life changing . Would recommend to anyone wanting to improve themselves
My daughter and I started a few weeks ago and are really enjoying it. Great teaching, with no pressure. Everyone feels part of the group and the way they have designed the classes allows beginners like us to fit in and not feel behind, less capable or wasting Sir's time.

Incredible dojo with good pricing, good regimen and incredible staff. Able to start really turning my life around thanks to this place. Thank you sir, thank you ma'am.

Great place to train for both young and old. Friendly instructors and varied sessions to get involved in. Great place to become a better you.
I've been training for near 2 years at this place now, and it has become much more than a hobby. It's my home, and my life rolled all in one with excellent instructors, people and coaching in more than just Martial Arts. 5/5 would highly recommend coming in for a lesson, and you'll be likely taken in by the family real fast.
My son Max joined BBL 5 years ago. We wanted him to be confident by being able to protect himself. From the moment he walked in, he loved it. You can feel the style and the power of the coaching from the very first seconds. He didnβt miss a session since then.

You can feel the style and the power of the coaching from the very first seconds. He didnβt miss a session since then. Everyone at BBL regardless of the age is treated with great respect, all the achievements are praised and encouraged. The coaches are incredible! Master Lowndes always makes sure your technique is spot on before you move to next step. Not only Max gained his confidence, he is also excelling in Martial Arts and started taking part in various kickboxing competitions. Max absolutely loves the entire experience and we cannot recommend BBL enough! Less
Awesome Fantastic instructors Amazing place to train. Friendly and welcoming.
My son has been training here for nearly seven years half his life. The feeling of support the moment you enter the Dojo is overwhelming. His focus and approach to life challenges have been considerably improved by attending here, as has his confidence and belief in himself. I can't thank Blackbelt Leaders and all the trainers enough for the everything they have done for him.
I've been training here for nearly 3 years now. My body has changed hugely since I started. I came in barely being able to do a push-up, and now I can lift twice my body weight. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get fitter, or learn to defend themselves!
A wonderful supportive community, where you can work on fitness and technique with the help of extremely qualified coaches. I've trained at a number of dojos over the years, and this is one of the best I've encountered.
Looks like a good Dojo, we don't have many in the UK. But please, you REALLY need to get your sign fixed, it looks awful now. More letters have fallen off in the recent months.

The atmosphere is great and the students and trainers make you feel welcome from day one, as well as learning martial arts it also helps you build confidence and feel good within yourself. BBL also offers a 30 FREE trial to see if this martial art is for you or not, how great is that! I must admit after my first class i was hooked and now 3 years later i am a Red belt building and working my way to Black belt, i absolutely love training here its the best Dojo iv'e ever been to and now i call these guys my family. If i could give them 10 stars i would :). Less

Couldn't ask for more caring instructors that will do anything to help you reach your goals. The instant family feel of the team is so powerful and will encourage you through your journey every step.
Excellent place to train, whether its martial arts or TFW the instructors are first class and so are the people you train with. Cant recommend it highly enough!
