B5, Our Instructiors & Everyhing else...
Some of you are just looking for a class or hobby to get yourself involved in or your child involved in, but before you do... why not get a good idea of who we are, what we do and how we run.
Our Academy
We operate a really relaxed approach to learning martial arts. Our aim is to take students who are willing to step foot on the mats from being a beginner, to having an indepth understanding of the martial art they choose to learn.
Everyone is always a little nervous approaching something new, but with B5 our main aim is to help settle you into classes at your own pace and develop ability and confidence from there.
If you've been through our social media or the classes page on this site, you'll of seen we cover sessions for children from age 4, all the way through to adults. Classes include traditional martial arts such as karate, or your more freestyle training such as mma sessions or even just fitness based classes to release some stress and get an alternative workout in... meaning we are covering SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Classes run from our full time facility, every day of the week. Meaning our students have the use of all our training equipment and private training venue, making training a much more enjoyable experience!
Outside of our regular classes we also conduct classes for schools across cumbria. So TEACHERS if you're looking for an alternative to the usual PE session or wanting to fill an after school session... WE COULD HELP YOU WITH THAT!
We all have to start somewhere... and you never know, this may be the thing you end up loving!!
Our Instructors
Esther - Teaches classes within our academy and also in primary schools in and around Carlisle area.
She started her journey in martial arts at the age of 6 taking part in both karate and traditional jijitsu classes. Training was a part of everyday life after school, week in, week out and with the hours put in on the mats the grades were achieved at a young age.
By the time she was 10 she was assisiting in teaching classes, holding pads, demonstrating, etc,etc. This is where the love for sharing what she knew developed, this continued for the next few years and then came the start up of B5 Martial Arts Academy.
Esther now teaches all ages from kids age 4 right through to adults. And knows how to deliver a lesson the right way!
Esthers favoured classes are karate and anything self defence for women. These are two big areas she feels she makes a difference in. Karate as it helps incredibly with confidence for all ages and is an extreemly fun martial art to keep training in, especially when you get a good feel for it!
And ladies self-defence, becuse its a big thing we should be taking time to learn, no one likes to be in an unvoluntry conflict... but knowing how to aviod and handle a situation if it ever arises, or be confident enough within yourself to not shy away from enjoying life, through the threat of the big bad world is important... especially to ladies and teens.
