Welcome to the Black Belt Academy

Whatever your interest, we have a range of programmes to suit all skill-levels, from beginner to expert. Our classes are all taught under the direct supervision of Master Richard Olpin, who is a 7th Degree Black Belt and a full-time professional instructor with nearly 40 years of active training experience.

Training in the martial arts provides a huge range of benefits to every student, regardless of their age.  Whether you’re looking to begin a journey of traditional martial arts training, or learn some practical self defence? Perhaps you’re looking to improve your fitness and lose a little weight? Our students often report a huge boost to their confidence and motivation. Parents tell us their children have gained significant confidence, they are much more respectful and have made significant improvements at school.

Don’t just take our word for it! Why not take a look at some testimonials from a few of our adult students, or those from some of the parents. These are real people, just like you, and there are many, many more who’ve seen the benefits of martial arts at the Black Belt Academy.

So, why not find out for yourself!

With students from as young as 5 years right up to several past retirement age, you can be assured there are benefits for all who train, and we’d love to share them with you.

At the Ilyokwan Black Belt Academy we’re passionate about what we do, and we believe very strongly in the value of our programmes. So much so, that we’re happy to offer you 14 days free membership of any programme for you to really have the opportunity to experience the martial arts for yourself.  In addition, we’ll provide you with a free beginners uniform when you enrol, and an initial free private lesson with one of our specialist black belt instructors to help ease you into your first class.

We guarantee you’ll never get the ‘hard sell’ approach from us. We believe that when you experience our programmes for yourself, the benefits will speak for themselves.
