🥋 FORM NO. 1 – ESCRIMA STICK FORM 🥋

Our kids putting in the work on Form No. 1 with the Escrima sticks 👊

It’s not just about learning the movements — it’s about developing focus, coordination, control, timing and confidence.

Step by step. Repetition by repetition. Skill by skill.

Great work from the team! 🔥👏

🚨 WANTED: PARENTS WHO BELIEVE IN BOUNDARIES

Is your child focused?

Can they stop and listen when someone is speaking?

Can they follow an instruction?

Can they stay on task when something becomes difficult?

Can they accept correction, try again and improve?

If the answer isn’t always yes…

GOOD. That’s why we’re here.

Children aren’t born with perfect focus, discipline or self-control.

Those are skills that have to be developed.

At Didsbury Black Belt Academy, we’re looking for families who believe those skills matter.

Parents who value good manners and respect.

Parents who want their children to become more focused and resilient.

Parents who understand that confidence and self-control should grow together.

And parents who want to work alongside their child’s instructors rather than simply drop them off and hope martial arts does the rest.

🥋 We don’t expect perfect children.

We expect children to learn, develop and grow.

And we’ve found that the biggest changes happen when:

PARENTS + INSTRUCTORS

ARE PULLING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.

That’s when martial arts becomes about much more than punches and kicks.

It’s about developing a young person who knows when it’s time to have fun — and when it’s time to switch on, listen and get focused.

Respect. Discipline. Focus. Confidence. Self-control.

🥋 Didsbury Black Belt Academy

Focus is a skill. We train it.

👇 PARENTS — which of those qualities would you most like to see your child develop?

🥋 WELL DONE TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART IN SATURDAY’S BELT TESTING! 🥋

What a fantastic day at DBBA!

A huge well done to every student who stepped onto the mats and gave their very best. The effort, focus, determination and attitude on display throughout the day were outstanding.

Belt Testing is about more than earning your next belt—it’s an opportunity to challenge yourself, demonstrate your progress and continue your journey towards Black Belt.

Whether you achieved the result you were hoping for or have a little more work to do, every grading is a valuable learning experience and another step forward.

Thank you to all of our instructors, volunteers and parents for your continued support.

Keep training hard, keep improving and we’ll see you back on the mats! 🥋💪

🥋 Congratulations, James! 🥋

What an incredible achievement!

A huge congratulations to James on earning his KidsZone Black Belt.

Becoming a Black Belt isn’t about being the best—it’s about having the commitment to keep going, the discipline to keep learning, and the determination to never give up.

Seeing James receive his Black Belt from his dad makes this moment even more special. It’s a reminder that behind every successful child is the support, encouragement and belief of their family.

James, you’ve shown the attitude, perseverance and character that a Black Belt represents. This isn’t the end of your journey—it’s the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

Congratulations, James. You’ve earned every stripe of that Black Belt.
