The Black Paw programmes emphasises the importance of friendship and nurturing to help your child grow in self-assurance, along with growing confidence through basic self defence skills and knowledge.
Black Paw allows your child to practice the art of controlling their emotions and behaviour to develop long-lasting mental and physical discipline, helping your child to make better life decisions.
The Black Paw community helps to create friendships by fostering a sense of camaraderie among students, hosting social events, and by providing a common interest and goal for individuals to connect through.
We help to create focus by teaching your child to develop control of their mind and body through discipline and concentration, with physical movements and mental techniques.
