Martial Arts has changed the course of my life, and my time here at BBSA has helped me to learn to set and achieve my goals! I started as a parent of a Little Leader (3-5 y/o) and found myself in class. Fast forward a couple of years and I found myself teaching and helping others to grow in their journey as well. I love BBSA!

We are two practices in and enjoying every session. The instructors are kind and knowledgeable, and the diversity of the instruction and disciplined yet friendly environment are creating an engaging and exciting experience for both of our boys at ages 8 and 5. As a family new to karate, we wholeheartedly recommend Black Belt Success Academy!

BBSA has been great for both my physical and mental health. Mr. Radle and Ms. Erin are knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about how they carry out instruction. We also have lots of fun!

I can’t begin to say enough about black belt success academy and Mr. Morgan. Wesley started here a few months ago and immediately we noticed a change in him and his attitude, Wes now puts the games down and practices his karate at home, he is always the first in the house to offer help and do his chores (and more) Mr. Morgan thank you so much for what you have done and what up you're doing for everyone. I’m a supervisor here in Charlottesville and I love watching you teach and the leadership you're showing and teaching the kids. Again I can’t thank you enough.

When I began studying martial arts at BBSA, I was nervous and shy about beginning such a journey this late in life, as I am a woman in her 40s. The staff has been phenomenal with me and my daughter as we navigate through the world of Karate, Warrior Krav Maga, and Kali. They are patient and understanding of all limitations and concerns as well as helping us to reach our goals and bringing to the surface a newfound self-confidence. They have welcomed us with open arms, given inspiration at all times, and stayed consistent with their instructions, all while staying true to the AFKA oath to which they have all sworn. They truly are a delight to train with and their enthusiasm is infectious! The joy they have in training people is magnificent and evident in everything they do. Never have I been in a more welcoming and uplifting environment! Every time I am there, I witness new students being amazed at their capabilities. I highly recommend giving Mr. Radle a call and see what BBSA can do for you! It is a call you won’t regret!
Absolutely. Martial Arts teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities develop them even more.
Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids laughing and smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.
Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because Martial Arts gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.
Not at all! In fact, many people use martial arts as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape, and quickly become athletic and limber.
No! Because self-defense technique is taught in Martial Arts, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind Martial Arts revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Honestly, practically every age is a good age to start! We have young children, as well as teenagers. We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.
