Junior Instructor teaches local Primary School

Posted on: April 8th, 2016 by David Finch

We are all very proud of Emma Watson who, as part of her Junior Instructor Certification, delivered a very engaging and educational Martial Arts P.E. lesson to her local Primary School.

Part of the J.C.I.T. assessment is to think of, organise and deliver a Community Challenge – something that will benefit others in the community.

In addition, Emma then presented her Challenge to her Martial Arts class in Canterbury.  Well done Emma!

It took a great deal of courage to deliver this lesson and shows the huge progress that Emma has made over the past 12-mths and, in particular, since completing the J.C.I.T. weekend in February this year.

MF Kent students excel on Junior Instructor Course

Posted on: February 22nd, 2016 by David Finch

I am extremely proud to share that the following students passed their Junior Instructor Course held in Swindon (20th & 21st February):

  • Emma Watson 
  • Lauren Russell
  • Billy Hill
  • Jasper Knight

The 2-day course was an intense weekend of team building, self-discovery, challenges and practical learning all designed to help the candidates give back and inspire the next generation of Martial Arts students.

Throughout the weekend, all of the MF Kent team showed amazing focus, enthusiasm and hard work and I am extremely proud of them all.

I am very much looking forward to seeing them put what they have learnt into practice and working towards the next phase of their J.C.I.T. qualification.
