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.

WALK THE WALK – uniting against cancer

Some of our mums in Staplehurst have undertaken a huge challenge to complete the 2013 London Marathon.  This is all in aid of “Walk the Walk – uniting against cancer”.

They have organised a wonderful silent auction with some fantastic prizes.  Please do what you can to help raise as much money as we can and help support Team Phoenix on their journey.  All you need to do is get involved in this fun silent auction and get bidding.

Silent auction – place your bids now!

Congratulations to the students and Instructors at our Margate School who helped raise money for Children in Need by dressing up and having a cake sale.

Working in the community and teaching students the importance of helping others is an integral part of our ethos.

Well Mrs Wilson & Mrs Daly and all the students – you can see a picture of the team in the photos section.
