Continuing the Dean Street Designs series on martial arts clubs this series of images was taken during an exclusive photo shoot with two senior members of the Crawley Black Belt Academy and some extra pictures taken as part of a commission to update the photos for the clubs website.
Crawley Black Belt Academy is a long established and hugely popular martial arts club in Crawley running out of their fully equipped Dojo at the K2 Leisure centre. As well as teaching kickboxing and karate CBBA also offer Cage Fitness classes which are an intense way to get in shape; most recently the club has started working with a local jiu jitsu instructor to offer some ground fighting exposure to the students. Scott and Matt, featured here, are senior instructors within the club; they are incredibly skilled and enthusiastic about the martial arts in generally and CBBA specifically. It was a great shoot and the guys also feature in the new portrait section of the site in a series of low key portraits HERE.
