Hello, we're Leadership Martial Arts, and we teach taekwondo and kick boxing in Swindon, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.
A Few Words From Master Danby
I began my Martial Arts Training at the age of 16, whilst serving in the Armed Forces. Within a year I was travelling all over the UK and Europe in competition. I continued to train and develop my skills through my late teens.
In 1990 I moved to Swindon to join the Wiltshire Constabulary. Having experienced the benefits of training in the martial arts first hand, it seemed only natural that my daughters should do the same. I enrolled my eldest daughter into an Academy and within the matter of just a few weeks I could see a difference. She became more confident, able to focus on her school work, and with this I could see her chances of becoming the victim of a bully reduced to almost nothing.
As a finalist in the United Kingdom Community Police Officer of the year Award I understood all too well that the education we give our children in their early years will decide their future.
The program
In 1999 I decided to make my hobby my profession and became a Professional Martial Arts Instructor.
Within 18 months I had enrolled over 300 students onto the program; many were families just like mine. In less than 3 years I had the most successful group of satellite schools in the UK reaching over 450 people in the Swindon area alone.
Today, my wife and I have a family of Black Belts, of which I am very proud, we continue to grow as a school and develop Black Belt Leaders all over the UK. I continue to be based in Swindon where my team and I have created over 500 Black Belt Leaders in the last 6 years.
Our aim
My goal for the future is to continue to promote Martial Arts as a family activity and encourage those around me to do the same.
