I am delighted to announce the formation of the IEB (Independant Examination Board). This is the board that governs examination within our academies, from normal academy gradings to panel grades, to dance exams and judging. Also it will oversee any CIT course exams and competitions etc to make sure everything is judged in a fair, impartial way. Mr Heywood is the director of the IEB, with Mr Glasheen being principal examiner, and Miss Kinsella running the Dance. We also have room for expansion throughout the UK as we are now working with over 300 students across the country.

Our exciting Adults Programme has been developed for beginners and experienced martial artists alike.

Designed to be exciting to learn and easy to understand our team of top Instructors will push and guide you towards a Black Belt Excellence Lifestyle.
