BLACK BELT SCHOOLS
E-mail us

'After two years of enjoyable training my seven year old has recently achieved his orange belt, having passed through the more junior grading structure. His self-confidence and concentration has improved considerably, which has also benefited his schoolwork. The classes are run with a great sense of fun whilst maintaining high levels of self-control and discipline. Health and safety aspects are always bourn in mind with appropriate warm up and cool down routines. For the slightly more experienced student weapons training adds to the enjoyment and range of skills taught at the school. The premises are comfortable and include a refreshment area. The sense of family is very evident throughout the whole school'.

HISTORY
Family Martial Arts Black Belt Schools are owned by Master David Martin. Master Martin has over 27 years experience in various Martial Arts styles and disciplines, and has trained with some of the world’s top instructors.

In 1995, Master Martin started running his own Martial Arts classes, and within two months he was running two successful clubs. In January 2002, Master Martin’s first full time School of Martial Arts was opened in Maidstone; he believed that with a permanent location he could offer superior training facilities and bring his unique teachings of Martial Arts and Life Skills to a wider audience. His theory was bourne out, as Family Martial Arts has now grown to two full time schools!

ABOUT THE SCHOOLS
Both schools are well equipped and have excellent male and female changing facilities, a refreshment area where you can relax before or after a lesson or watch your children train in the viewing area. On site parking is available at the Maidstone school and a large car park is just 100 metres from the Gravesend school. Both schools are fully matted with safety matting ensuring good grip, hygienic training and a more enjoyable lesson. Both schools are not short of equipment as shown below making sure the students can get as much possible from the lesson in the safest way

ABOUT OUR MARTIAL ART
The core Martial Art at Family Martial Arts is Taekwon-Do. This is a modern Martial Art from Korea, with roots going back thousands of years. The style is famous for its high kicks and fast hand techniques; ‘Tae’ means to strike with the foot or kick, ‘Kwon’ means to punch or strike with the hand, and ‘Do’ means art or method.
We also incorporate dynamic Kickboxing drills and kicking combinations, practical self defence and street awareness, fitness and conditioning, and optional weapons training into our programmes. In addition, our children’s programmes place emphasis on learning Life Skills such as what ‘Respect’ means, how to earn it and how to show it.
Family Martial Arts Black Belt Schools run to a planned curriculum incorporating all of these elements, designed so that everyone from the beginner to those experienced in other arts can benefit from our training.
