Saturday, 2nd March 2013 – South Panel Grading
Congratulations to the team of students who headed to Swindon for the first Panel Grading of 2013. It was certainly a challenging test but after working so hard for the last few weeks I am pleased to announce that everyone from MF Kent passed with flying colours.
It was a pleasure to watch them all achieve their well deserved new belts:
Alfie Salih – Red Belt
Adam Amine-Piekos – Red Belt
Gemma Gibson – Deputy Black Belt
Sardeep Gill – Deputy Black Belt
Celine Owen – Deputy Black Belt
Bryn Homewood – 1st Degree Black Belt
Well done!

After the huge excitement at last year’s gradings and Master-classes with Mr Cox we are very pleased to announce that he is returning in March.
Following on from each colourbelt grading Mr Cox from Swindon will be running a special class (Master-class) which is open to every student whether they are grading or not. Please note that these special classes will replace the normal classes in Chilham and Canterbury for that day only.
Here are the times:
Mighty Matt Master-class: 10:45am
Junior & Adult Master-class: 12:30pm
Leadership Masterclass: 1:15pm
Everything will be held at Simon Langton Boys School (Sports Centre), CT4 7AS.
REMEMBER:
– Master-classes open to all students from all MF Kent Schools (whether grading or not)
– Master-classes will replace the normal classes held in Chilham & Canterbury for that day only
See you all there for a very exciting day!

We are delighted to announce our work within the community is extending further to include a new partnership with Bridge & Patrixbourne CE Primary School.
Starting in February, we will be working with the school to use our unique Martial Arts programme to teach the KS2 children valuable Life-Skills.
This is going to be a very exciting partnership and we are very much looking forward to it.

Many congratulations to Edward Carter from our Maidstone School who beat of tough competition to win the 2013 Disability Sports Award and the Maidstone Youth Sports Achievement Awards Ceremony on 25th January.
Edward has been a model student since he started back in June 2006. After years of dedication and hard work Edward is now a wonderful 1st Degree Black Belt, continues to train and learn and also helps to teach other younger students in his spare time.
This special award is very well deserved and we are all very proud.
Well done Edward!
This year has seen the launch of a very exciting partnership with Reculver Primary School, Herne Bay.
For over a year now we have been running a full-time MF Kent School from Reculver Primary School and the students there are nothing short of fantastic! After an electrifying demo last year in front of the school we were asked to provide Martial Arts PE Lessons for the entire school. Consequently, with the help of Miss Hatch (Deputy Head) and Mrs Calder (School Governor and MF Kent Parent), we have agreed a scheme to teach each year group for a term with a focus on a specific life-skill.
We have started this project working with some Yr 3 classes with an emphasis on “concentration”. It has been a brilliant start to the scheme and, if Yr 3 are anything to go by, the remainder of the academic year should be amazing.
We would like to publicly thank the school for this opportunity and Mrs Calder for all her hard work and passion in getting this project up and running.
2013 sees the opening of 2 brand new MF Kent Schools. This will enable new students to experience the huge benefits of our programme as well as offering current students the opportunity to attend more classes during the week and take their training to the next level.
If you currently attend 1 class a week and would like to increase this please speak to your instructor – it’s easy! If you currently attend the Leadership Programme and have unlimited membership you now have even more classes to attend at no extra costs.
Here are the details:
Herne (Herne Village Hall): Saturday
Swalecliffe (All Saints Church Hall): Monday & Thursday
For times and further details you can download our new class timetable in the student login section of this website or e-mail us.
On behalf of all of the Matt Fiddes Kent family we would like to wish all students, families and friends a wonderful New Year and all the very best for 2013.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you all back in classes which start Wednesday, 2nd January. There are lots of exciting plans for 2013 so let’s start the year with a bang,
MF Kent
The 2013 class timetable for all Matt Fiddes Kent Schools is now available to download from the student login section of this website.
You will see a huge variety of times and locations including:
Take your training to the next level – if you currently come to classes once a week why not take your Martial Arts further with additional classes. Contact us for more details, it’s easy!
