Last week, our instructor team was back training - but not on kata. Si ran a full First Aid at Work course for Jon and Alice, because being a good instructor is about far more than knowing how to throw a punch.
Well done to both of them for getting recertified. It's serious stuff (you'd want us to know exactly what to do if something ever went wrong in class) - but we still managed to have a laugh doing it. 🧤
Every one of our instructors is trained, certified and regularly updated in:
✅ Minimum 1st Dan black belt
✅ Instructor Trained
✅ Enhanced DBS checks
✅ First Aid at Work
✅ Safeguarding
✅ SENCO (special educational needs) training
✅ Trauma-Informed Coaching
✅ Mental Health First Aid
✅ Concussion & Head Injury Management
✅ Serious Youth Violence awareness
✅ Neurodiversity
…and more.
We are fully qualified and insured to work with children and at-risk adults, and we maintain our standards to the highest level required by our governing body, the British Martial Arts and Boxing Association (BMABA).
So when you step on our mats - or send your kids to train with us - you can be confident you're in safe, capable, properly trained hands, even if we appear a bit silly sometimes (Jon!) 💪🥋
