This is what they had to say… Before I
joined The Like
many kids I had grown up watching martial arts movies, fascinated by the
spectacular high-kicking & combat sequences demonstrated. Yet,
REGRETTABLY my interest was not further enhanced in learning a martial art. Looking back, perhaps I was strongly
influenced by my peer group at school, believing I was not good enough to
train and become a Black Belt, and extremely fearful of taking pain or being
shown up weak in a martial arts school. Many years later, as a confident working
professional, I plucked up the courage & desire to learn a martial art. I
discovered the During the above time,
together with my ‘brothers in arms’ (Peter “The
Klob” Klobikowski, Reaching this prestigious achievement was like
running a marathon, requiring a great deal of dedication & sacrifice
(losing 8lbs in 2 months by cutting out takeaways and junk food &
replacing with healthier diet), training hard in and out of the Academy with
many hours focused on practicing technique & improving fitness, and
showing high levels of resilience in overcoming injuries and/or withstanding
pain in intensive sparring sessions. However, I DO NOT REGRET any of this hard
work. All of these efforts paid off
during my grading when demonstrating 6 patterns, 24 one-step sparring
techniques, 18 self-defence techniques, and finally undertaking 5 x 1.5 minute
gruelling rounds of sparring sessions.
Ultimately, I am very proud to have achieved my goal of Black
Belt! It markets well on my CV and has
been a positive talking point in recent job interviews, helped to improve my
focus and remaining calm when facing life's challenges, and is certainly deemed
impressive and fosters respect from others.
Under the professional and patient
supervision of Master Ace, I was able to improve my knowledge in learning and
mastering many Black Belt techniques, encouraged to nurture my own fighting
style taking into account my identified strengths and weaknesses, and
encouraged to mix within the fun, safe and disciplined environment provided
by the Academy. As a Black Belt (No.38 on the list in the
Academy website), I am now happy, confident and able to pass on this
invaluable wisdom to future students joining the Academy and reinforcing my
understanding. Raymond "Rayzor" Ramsaran I'd like to take this opportunity to

black belts trained through Academy up to 42. Call us to book a free appointment for
