A few years ago a bloke in his late 40’s wandered into a white building on a street he had never been on before, he had given up playing professional Rugby League in his thirties and had done very little since. He was nearly 18 stone, very very unfit, had very little interest in any physical activity and being honest was probably about to become a health risk. He had no real interest in martial arts but thought it might be ok for his son. In the first two months of his training he actually thought that there wasn’t one bone in his body that didn’t hurt.
Roll on five and a half years and that same guy has had the absolute privilege of receiving his Black Belt Second Dan, losing four stone, gaining an extended family, learning discipline, respect, motivation in the best Martial Arts school on the planet, Lynx Black Belt Leadership Academy.
That guy is me, Steve Sanderson, 2nd Dan Black Belt who has now turned the first two pages of a story and a book without an ending.

Our Journey with Lynx Black Belt Leadership Academy started 5 years ago when Lynx Academy was recommended to us by our son’s childminder as the best place for him to gain confidence he was lacking. Kristian, 4 at the time, a very shy boy, that wouldn't talk to his friends at pre-school, started training, with me and my wife watching him class after class. After just a few weeks we've noticed changes, he was becoming more confident, happy to demonstrate the skills he learned, focused and listening to instructions of his Master. A year later I decided to join in and train alongside Kristian, another year later my wife joined to train together as a family. Coming through the door of Lynx Black Belt Leadership Academy was one of the best decisions we have made in our lives.
Training with Master Blinston is a life changing experience. Our Academy is not just about kicking and punching, it's about changing lifestyle for better, gaining leadership skills. Since we started, Kristian has become a happy child, one of the best grading students in his class at school, having loads of friends, I have started successful business, we're all fit and healthy. We can't imagine our lives without Martial Arts. There is no better place to train than Lynx Black Belt Leadership Academy. We are very honoured to train under the best martial arts instructor, Master Andrew Blinston 6th Dan and I'm very proud of my family’s achievement, Kristian and my wife Aleksandra are 1st Dan Black Belts.
My name is Robert Macioszek, 2nd Dan Black Belt at Lynx Black Belt Leadership Academy.

I’d had an interest in Martial Arts for a while and looking for a new challenge. This is when I was introduced to Master Andrew Blinston and Lynx Black Belt Leadership Academy. I immediately liked the feel of the academy; "It wasn’t just a room where a group ran, but a whole martial arts experience"
I was very apprehensive and nervous when I first started, but the friendly, respectful, inclusive atmosphere soon made me relax and start to enjoy my Martial Arts. There has been so much to learn and work towards physically and mentally. I’ve loved having so many new challenges and having a great work out too! I have always been included and encouraged to join in demonstrations from a white belt, up to leading demonstrations as a Scholarship Instructor. My oldest son showed an interest and he decided to start his own Martial Arts journey. To be able to train along side him and see how he has progressed and grown within the Academy is second to none
I feel very proud of my achievements – most recently a 2nd Dan, and have really enjoyed being part of the ‘Lynx Black Belt Leadership family’.

I have seen a major impact on my son's behaviour and he has been doing so well in school, he had 3 achievements in one week from school and swimming lessons. I definitely relate his achievements to the martial arts tuition at Retford based school Lynx Black Belt Leadership Academy.

Absolutely loved the Stretch N Flex Seminar, time went by so quickly and I felt like I had a full workout. Not only did we learn lots of stretching techniques but also the reason behind them and how easily some could be done at home. I have a feeling we only scratched the surface, but the benefits to future training will speak for themselves. I would recommend this seminar to anyone wanting to improve flexibility and core strength, just be prepared to feel it the next day.
