Didsbury Black Belt Academy. The academy is forced to operate only five hours per day in today’s present climate. We are petitioning to have the academies operation hours extended. At present the academy offers family fitness, dance and martial arts classes. The school would like to operate from 9am-9pm Monday-Friday, and 9am-4pm on weekends. In the days the schools Sister Company Master E Ltd would also offer work-based training such as classroom based security training, sports coaching and teacher training as we are a registered City & Guilds centre. We are also hoping to house job based workshops making us Didsbury’s first job club. Also along with this proposed expansion we will be providing more jobs in the local community.

We are currently meeting with local officials to discuss how these new opening hours will help us provide job training and workshops for everyone in Didsbury. Post this link on your Facebook page and text three friends today to keep the pressure on our decision makers.

The momentum behind these extended hours shows that our community needs these job training programs and fitness classes. Post this link on Facebook today to ensure the academy leadership hears us loud and clear. Text three friends right now and ask them to sign to keep this pressure building.

Need more places like this in Didsbury. Those training courses would be a huge help for people job hunting right now.

This would be amazing for the community. The classes are always so packed anyway so longer hours just makes sense.

Totally support this! It should have been done ages ago. More jobs is exactly what this area needs.
