Black Belt Martial Arts

Black Belt Martial Arts was founded over 33 years ago by Kyoshi Liz Mahler. All Teachers with BBMA have the BBMA Certified Teacher Training qualification and NCAS Coaching Accreditation. We are specialists in self defence education, children’s martial arts training, the traditional Japanese art of Shotokan Karate, traditional Okinawan weaponry and we are the home of multiple sports karate champions.

Studying martial arts at BBMA is a LIFE TRANSFORMING journey, we challenge you to become the best you can be. You will learn sound physical self-defence techniques, become fit and strong physically, mentally, and emotionally, develop unwavering self-discipline, powerful self-control, courage, focus, and much more. Our Martial Arts programs are suitable for men, women, and children of all ages and all levels of ability – from Beginner to Black Belt.

A BBMA student could walk into any BBMA school and feel at home with the same curriculum, the same visual layout, the same uniforms, the same level of professional teaching standards, and the same people-focused management systems that make being a student of BBMA a very positive experience.
