A Personal Development Expert, Exercise Physiologist, Martial Arts Student For The Past 27 Years And Chief Instructor, of Blackbelt Leaders, One Of The Most Successful Martial Arts Academy’s In The World;

Master Lowndes has an uncanny knack for bringing out the best in people regardless of their age.

Whether they are 3 or 63! He knows how to grab the attention of student and really help them focus and understand that they are capable of so much more than they initially thought.

In addition to teaching them to defend themselves, helping them get in the best shape of their life and all of the other benefits you would expect…

Master Lowndes encourages his adult students to develop their self-belief, their ability to challenge themselves and ultimately their courage to commit to become their absolute best and live the lifestyle of their preference.

Master Lowndes also believes it’s the responsibility of the adults in our community to set the standards and examples for our children to follow. So he personally helps and guides his younger students to develop the characteristics they need to step up to the challenges that life presents them every day and encourages them, through his example to become leaders, not followers!

His Track Record Speaks For Itself!

Often dubbed “The Martial Arts Success Coach” In the last 6 years alone he has graduated over 1000 students to Blackbelt and has personally trained and coached many of the top martial arts competitors. In fact, In one year alone he tutored 7 of his students to become British and European Champions. Two of which also won the World Championships!

But, That Didn’t Stop Him. Just a few years later… In 2004 Master Lowndes was instrumental in the England Team’s largest Gold, Sliver and Bronze medal haul to date at the World Championships. He coached and captained them for the World Professional Kickboxing Association’s (WPKA) World Championships in Corfu, they competed against 56 other countries and won the World Team Championship.

From Bullied Eight Year Old…

Master Lowndes began his personal martial arts journey in 1982 at the age of eight. His parents were very clever in encouraging him to begin. He thought he was getting to go to martial arts to learn “All The Cool Stuff!” His parents however, enrolled him as they thought it would be a great vehicle to help him further develop his confidence, self esteem, self discipline…. Oh, and also stop him coming home with black eyes from the school bully!

His Mum actually used to jump on the mat with him and he often tells his students how he and his mum used to practice in the garden together. And how he always used show his Dad what he’d learned as soon as he would come home from work! What’s important here is that he always had the support and encouragement from his parents. What’s really nice is that he still does. As a matter of fact, whenever there is a Graduation at the school… Look around, his parents will be there!

… To Successful Instructor

At 17 he was selected by his Instructor for ‘Instructor Training’, and went on to become one of the youngest Instructors in Great Britain.

Here it is, 27 years on and Master Lowndes is a qualified Personal Development Expert, has a Post Graduate Honors Degree in Exercise Physiology and Biological Sciences, and is accredited as a Health and Fitness Instructor and Advanced Personal Trainer with the American College of Sports Medicine. Master Lowndes is also one of only a few martial arts instructors to have earned an ‘Accredited Professional Teaching Certificate’,

Master Lowndes has had many opportunities to serve the local community. After working with a former local policeman and a childcare teacher for many months Master Lowndes devised a Character Education Programme that would help children make better decisions for their futures. He places an emphasis on helping his students and their entire families learn together within the local community, to the highest possible standard

… And Influential School Owner

The ‘Consistent And NeverEnding Improvement’ (CANI) Attitude of Master Lowndes and his Team set in place the foundations for their growth from a small part-time club operating out of church halls and leisure center’s to be the first Full Time Professional Martial Arts Academy on the South Coast.

He believes that there are only ‘Three Ways To Lead’. The first is By Example. The Second is… By Example. And the Third? Yes you guessed right… It’s By Example! That’s why he named his academy ‘Blackbelt Leaders’.

He has been a consultant to most of the successful schools in the UK and developed two of the most compressive and influential training programmes available for martial arts professionals… ‘The Certified Instructor Training Programme’ and ‘The Accredited Instructor Development Programme’.

His ambition has always been to lead the field and in doing so he believed that others would catch on, gain confidence from our actions and as a result begin to believe that they can do the same. This would then begin the shift to a higher standard of what the local public would begin to expect from Martial Arts Professionals. And that shift is beginning to happen. You see… The Rising Tide Lifts All Boats!

… To World Champion and Martial Arts Master!

In 2004 as well as coaching and being the captain for the England Team for the World Professional Kickboxing Association’s (WPKA) World Championships in Corfu, Master Lowndes won a Bronze, Silver and a Gold Medal himself….He came back a World Champion!

As a Martial Arts expert training in traditional Martial Arts for over 27 years, Master Lowndes was overwhelmed when on October 18th 2009 he was awarded his 6th Degree Black Belt Master Certification under the charter of the United Kingdom Black Belt Schools Association.

By popular vote he holds a privileged seat on the ‘Master’s Council’ and is considered by his seniors and peers to be one of the most influential and inspiring instructors in the country.
