Chuldow Martial Arts Black Belt Academy has been established since 1984. We are based in West Yorkshire and we have several Academies around the Wakefield region and surrounding areas.
We are Yorkshires number 1 premier Black Belt Academy. We GUARANTEE to take you to your Black Belt and beyond. Whilst others may come and go, Chuldow stays with you all the way. We are the first and only stop you need for all your Martial Arts training and general fitness needs.
Our Main Academy in Wakefield City Centre is a FULL TIME PROFESSIONAL MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY and its owner is Mr Ary Hauer. Joint owner and Program Director is Mrs Sarah Hauer. Between them, they hold around twelve advanced black belt grades in various martial arts and have over 40 years combined experience in the martial arts.
Chuldow does NOT have 'Black Belts' as their Instructors. Chuldow has fully qualified, insured, certified and professionally trained instructors who have undertaken intensive training and constantly follow a dynamic ongoing training programme that enables them to teach every single student to the best of their ability. Chuldow firmly believes that attaining a black belt does not give you the right or the skills necessary to 'teach' students how to attain theirs. Having knowledge is a skill in itself, having the means to pass that knowledge on in an appropriate and effective manner is a completely different skill and one that needs to be trained and attained for. Just because we all 'pass' our school exams and leave school, does that automatically make us Teachers? It does not, and rightly so and that is the philosophy we adopt here at Chuldow Martial Arts. Which is why our students are privvy to the very latest dynamic and upto date techniques and methods, through our experienced, qualified, certified Instructors.
We have specifically and carefully maintained programs to suit all students and we teach and encourage our students to follow basic principles throughout not just their training but everyday life.
To PERSEVERE -
Never give up, keep trying and you will get there
To HAVE SELF CONTROL -
Control of our emotions and how they manifest themselves and greater control of our physical abilities
To HAVE INDOMITABLE SPIRIT -
To have a spirit, a sense of resolve that is unbreakable, no matter what life may bring or put in our way
To BE COURTEOUS -
Manners cost nothing. We teach the 'forgotten' basics of todays society, our students show politeness and courtesy at all times, to their elders and each other
To HAVE INTEGRITY -
To hold up your head, to feel proud of yourself for all the right reasons is an amazing thing. To have others look upto you for your values and beliefs is something even better.
To BE HUMBLE -
'Cockiness' is something you will not find here at Chuldow. Despite the skills and talents displayed by many students, they remain humble and use their knowledge and skills only to help others and to better themselves, never to 'show off' to people. They know they have an advantage by learning the things they are taught and they respect those advantages, they dont squander them.
These principles can achieve tremendous results in all ages and abilities of student. Younger students improve their manners, they learn respect, they dont give in to peer pressure and they always always say NO to bullies. Many Clubs and Academies teach that there are NO place for bullies at their place of training.
Chuldow welcomes EVERYONE, we do NOT discriminate. In fact we hope any bullies out there DO come to us!! Why are we saying such things?
Do not get us wrong, we DO NOT and WILL NOT tolerate bullying behaviour of any kind, but we would certainly not turn away someone who is thought to be a 'bully'.
We can show them the reasons why what they do is wrong, show them the way they SHOULD act and COULD act, show them they can CHANGE. And they will!
Many people who exhibit bullying behaviour are just as insecure as those they they may pick on. In fact usually more so. At Chuldow we teach people how to be confident and stand proud of their abilities and achievements no matter what it is. Those that may have bullied will see what they did is wrong and the reasons why. They will see the advantages of helping others far outweighs any 'false respect' they may have thought they had through inflicting pain and fear to others.
The main aim of our Academy is to develop students that are happy, motivated and well rounded individuals, working within their own abilities within a stimulating, caring, learning environment. We want you/your child to belong to a motivated family of disciplined, confident individuals. Individuals with high levels of tolerance, control and restraint, not just within the training hall but also within the local community.
We aim to achieve this by providing a safe, structured and organised environment for our students. We provide and promote a family based atmosphere to training, whilst still maintaining an appropriate level of discipline and professionalism at all times.
We are traditionalist in our values, but we are still a highly progressive organisation that remains at the very cutting edge of the Martial Arts scene and any developments that may occur.
Part of our ongoing aims are -
- To pass on our knowledge to help prepare the students for life outside of the Academy.
- To encourage our students to help others and respect other peoples individual limits, beliefs and skill levels.
- To encourage and develop a sense of responsibility and control in our students and give them a sense of pride in themselves and their abilities.
- Should the need ever arise, to give our students the means to defend themselves or family and friends and the confidence to be able to do so.
- To help and encourage the students to keep physically as well as mentally fit and to enjoy themselves whilst they are training to do so.
- To teach the students that the Martial Arts is not about learning how to fight but to learn how to avoid confrontation full stop, hence removing the need to fight from the equation altogether.
By following the above aims and actively promoting the awareness of the need for them in the Martial Arts, we aim to produce students with advanced life skills and very high moral standards. This will help them not only in their training but also throughout life. Giving our students an advantage that will give them significant improvements in everything they do, physically, academically or in their relationships and careers is an active by-product of our teaching here at Chuldow Martial Arts Black Belt Academy.
We offer only the best at Chuldow, but you wont know that for sure unless you do something other than read this website, so get on that email client, pick up that phone or jump on the bus and get in touch with us.
You will never know what the martial arts can bring into your life - what 'Chuldow Martial Arts Academy' can bring into your life unless you act now. Dont hesitate, what have you got to lose? Nothing!
We look forward to seeing you soon.
From everyone at Chuldow Martial Arts Black Belt Academy
