Congratulations – belt presentations
A huge well done to every student who attended the recent Grading day on Sunday in Canterbury. The entire day had such a positive and energetic atmosphere and it was wonderful to see so many amazing performances. It was clear to see that you all worked so hard and deserve your rewards.
Grandmaster Murphy was very impressed with you all, especially our little Mighty Matts and is very much looking forward to returning later on this year.
I would like to also say a big thank you to the MF Kent family who gave up so much time to help on the day and this includes all you wonderful parents too – thank you for the day and for your continued support.
To give us time to get all the belts and certificates together we will be making belt presentations in class from Tuesday, 3rd April onward.
Congratulations to you all and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Tag-testing starts now!
Colourbelt Grading & Panel Grading
Sunday, 25th March 2018
Simon Langton Boys School, Canterbury
This week we will be starting the process of tag-testing in preparation for the first Grading day of 2018. This is the start of tag-testing so please do not be worried if you or your child are not tagged straight away. We have just under 3 weeks to sharpen things up.
As always, if a student is ready they will receive:
- Black tag
- Grading letter
To earn a black tag students will not only be required to remember their techniques and drills but “perform them” as well as demonstrating the correct attitude. If a student is not quite ready that is ok. There are plenty of other opportunities through the year. Please remember, all students progress at different speeds and there is no rush.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
