Black Widow Martial Arts Academy have been working with Street Games and local schools within the area for the past 3 years providing non stop action for the young people to participate in. To date they have catered for over 10,000 young people.

Black Widow has also partnered with schools and the West Midlands Police for many years, offering enrichment sessions and Thai Boxing projects to bring knowledge, fun, focus, and discipline too many.

Students of all age ranges and abilities participate in the sport as it is an excellent form of stress relief, discipline, self-defence and it is extremely fun.

Sladefield Infant School have been using the HAF Project for a number of years and have been working with Black Widow Martial Arts Academy.

This has been an amazing project for the children at our school. Our school is located in an area of high depravation and there are times, especially in the term holidays, where children struggle to have a meal. The HAF Project ensures that 50 children are well fed during lunch time. As well as that, the children are taught by expert Thai Boxing coaches and they have immensely enjoyed these clubs.

Thank you for your continued support in improving the lives of the children at our school
