I can't recommend Ilyokwan Black Belt Academy enough. I first sent my Son to the little ninjas class when he was 5 years old. 5 years on and he still loves it. He now has boundless confidence and great skills that show in all aspects of his life. My daughter saw how much fun it is and joined at the age of 5 as well. Being inspired by sitting in the back watching my children it seemed only fair that I should be getting some of this so I also joined the adult classes. I have found my fitness and confidence grow more than I ever thought. The leadership team are great at inspiring and bringing fun into the learning of these valuable life skills.
A martial arts academy where there's a place for everyone however big, small, fat, thin, fit or unfit. Master Olpin understands that everyone had their own abilities and respects what any individual is capable of and could achieve if they desire. He is especially good with the kids who look up to him and his assistants as they don't just drill them they make if fun for the kids as well. My eldest son Robbie has been training at the academy since he was 5 1/2 in 2005 and is now a second degree black belt and regularly assists with the instructing. I would like to personally thank Master Olpin with his continued support with Robbie especially what he had to deal with on a personal level.
