Junior Blackbelts

At Martial Art Concepts it is our aim to get all of our junior students to their 1st Dan Black Belt however this isn't the end of their journey. To maintain the high Black Belt standards we expect at Martial Art Concepts all our current Junior Black Belt Students continue to train and develop their skills in exactly the same way any Academy student or Academy Instructor continues to do.

We are very proud of all Black Belt Students and this page represents the Academy's current Black Belt Students

I have trained at MAC since I was 5½ years old and I achieved my 1st Dan Black Belt Belt in 2004 just before my 9th Birthday. I am currently a 2nd Dan Black Belt and training hard to be ready for my 3rd Dan. I am also a SWAT team member and always help to support the instructors during classes. I am very proud of what I have accomplished at MAC and I'm grateful to Paul and Sarah Kelly for the privalege of Black Belt. I always look forward to training at both Halesowen and Dudley Acadamies and I have made many friends too.

I started at MAC when I was 10 years old when I was invited by a friend. I've now been training for 4½ years now and I really love my JKD and BJJ the same. I feel I'm always learning something new and improving myself. I would really like to thank Paul, Sarah, Alex and all the other Instructors for helping me reach my Black Belt.

I have trained for nearly 4 years and I really enjoy doing martial arts. It has helped me with my flexibility, dance and rhythmic gymnastics in which I have won 2 gold medals. I have won two gold medals at the Academy during internal events and have made great personal progress through the skills gained by training at Martial Art Concepts.

I started training when I was 6 years old after sitting on the sidelines watching my older brothers train. It's helped my self confidence and I've made lots of friends. I am very proud of my achievements and am grateful of the help from my coaches and Instructors.
