Exciting year ahead!
Happy New Year to you and welcome to the start of a very exciting 2014!
I hope you and your families have had a wonderful festive period and are all rested and raring to go. All classes starts from Sunday, 5th January (Chilham & Canterbury) at the normal times and our school clubs start this week also.
We are planning plenty of exciting things for this year so I hope you are ready to work hard, be challenged and and achieve some wonderful things. The 2014 diary is being finalised and we will notify you when this is free to download from the student login section of our website.
In the meantime, those of you (red stripes and above) who have been working towards your next Panel Grading have no doubt been working hard over the holiday period and I look forward to potentially tag-testing you over the next week or so. As a reminder:
8th February – Panel Grading, Canterbury
1st March – Panel Grading, Swindon
NEW YEAR – NEW YOU
As we embark on a new year we encourage you to set yourself goals and plan how you can achieve them. To help you with that, training with family and friends will be a huge benefit and also a great deal of fun.
Feel free to bring along all of your family and friends (to the appropriate classes) throughout January and let them experience all of the fun. Just let us know who will be coming and when.

Enjoy the last day of the break and I very much look forward to seeing you all back in class this week and kicking off 2014 with a bang.

After months and in some cases years of planning, hard work and dedication the MF Kent family headed to Swindon for the last Panel Grading of 2013. It is no exagarration to say that all of their determination and hard work paid off and all were hugely successful in achieving their next belts.
Some students have waited a long time for this day to come and this shows huge amounts of determination and commitment. It was certainly a tough test but they all met it head on and came away smilling. On behalf of everyone at MF Kent, congratulations and we are all very proud of you!
We are very proud to present:
RED BELTS:
DEPUTY BLACK BELTS:
1st DEGREE BLACK BELTS:
2nd BLACK BELTS:
New and exclusive to MF Kent we are very proud to announce the launch of a new range of clothes specifically designed for Mighty Matts (4-6yrs).
We now have:
These will look amazing in and out of the Martial Arts class so be sure to order yours soon. You can download the full list of merchandise and clothing from our website as well as the order form.
To order yours simply download the order form and hand to your instructor at the next class.
CANTERBURY & DISTRICT SPORTS AWARDS
Closing date for nominations coming soon!
The nomination period for the Canterbury and District Sports Awards, held in association with Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Kent, closes in 10 days’ time.
We believe there are hundreds of talented athletes, dedicated coaches and unsung heroes behind every sports club, but we need your help to recognise their achievements. There are eight categories to chose from but please consider who within your club deserves to be rewarded, even if that person is you.
The top three candidates in each category will be given two free tickets to attend the awards evening on Friday 18 October, where the winners will be announced.
This year, the evening will be hosted by the BBC South East sports presenter Neil Bell. Legendary rugby player Nicky Little will be sharing his experiences of being Fiji’s highest points scorer and there will be a performance from one of the stars of last year’s Paralympics Opening Ceremony.
If you don’t want to miss out on the chance to celebrate all that your club and individuals have achieved this year, then get nominating before midnight on Friday 20 September 2013.
If you are thinking about entering the 2013 British Championships we are putting on extra Championship Training Sessions.
