History of Paul Drury's Black Belt Academy
The study of the martial arts began thousands of years ago. And
flourished in places like, China, Korea and Japan. They first came to
the U.K. in the early 40’s, mainly in the form of Judo or Karate, but
as time passed, other martial arts began to emerge, such as Tae Kwon
Do and Kung Fu, which became very popular in the early 70’s, during
the so called “kung fu craze”. The styles practiced here at Paul
Drury’s Black Belt Academy are Tae Kwon Do and Kickboxing. The systems
we teach are designed as a means of self-defence, personal
development, and self improvement.
The principles that we teach are based on respect of self and others,
personal growth and self-improvement, along with the development of
each students overall confidence and self-discipline.
• Modern Approach To Self-Defence
With over 30 years experience, our Master Instructor and staff are
always upgrading and improving our curriculum. This modern, innovative
approach is very motivating and exciting to learn. We blend some of
the most dynamic Martial Arts systems, to make ours the most
effective. Tae Kwon Do is our base system, but we also use Kickboxing,
Hapkido and Ju-Jitsu, these are just a few of the arts that have
influenced our dynamic curriculum.
Our Black Belt Success System is a very inspiring and goal-orientated
journey to personal excellence. Students learn practical self-defence,
while becoming stronger, more flexible and gaining dynamic increases
in their endurance and overall energy level.
