NEW 6th Form MF Martial Arts Academy

Posted on: February 17th, 2015 by David Finch

We are delighted to formally announce the upcoming launch of the new MF Martial Arts Academy in partnership with The Canterbury Academy school.

This is an utterly unique partnership between MF Kent and a local school, providing a mixture of first class education with a ground breaking Martial Arts programme.

This Academy is part of a wider range of Academy options that the school offer and is new for 2015.  6th form students who are part of the Martial Arts Academy will have 2hrs of training every day of their academic life.  This will involve a wide variety of areas including:

  • Martial Arts training (multi discipline)
  • Physical training (use of gym facility and sports science methods)
  • Leadership development

This programme is open to any student who currently studies a Martial Art (whatever the discipline) or students who would like to start.

We are enrolling now for September 2015 so if you have not decided on your 6th Form option or know somebody considering their options do get in touch: kent@mattfiddes.com
