We are delighted to be working with Maidstone Grammar School for Girls this year, delivering self-defence P.E. lessons to year 11.
The classes got off to a fantastic start today and will continue for the next 3-mths working on everything from basic self-defence principles, basic strikes and some fun fitness. Well done ladies!
We are very excited to begin a 6-week programme with Sheldwich Primary School today. Over the course of the programme we will be teaching years 1 & 3, showing them a variety of fun Martial Arts techniques as well as learning about focus and concentration.
This programme has been funded through the Canterbury School Sports Partnership.
Please make a note of the following shut-down dates for all of our class. During these dates there will be no classes running; 22nd Dec ~ 1st Jan (incl.)
Last classes of 2017
*This class will run from the Staplehurst Village Centre (North Hall):
All classes will resume as normal from Tuesday, 2nd January onwards.
Happy holidays!
The last Grading Day for 2017 is fast approaching and I hope everyone is excited about the next challenge.
We will start the process of “tagging” this week and will continue this leading up to the Grading Day. If a Black Tag has been awarded we will also hand out a letter explaining what to do next (homework, venue etc).
As always, if a student is not quite ready for the December Grading that is ok. Martial Arts is an ongoing journey and there will be plenty of exciting challenges and opportunities ahead.
Here are the details for the Grading:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to speak to your Instructor and we look forward to seeing you all in class

As usual, each summer it is important that we all have a little break from the normal routine to charge the batteries. This year our summer shut down will be:
Monday, 21st – Sunday, 27th August (inclusive)
There will be no classes running during this period. All classes will run as usual before and after this little break.
Happy holidays!
After the wonderful successes of the past Grading we are excited to let you know that belt & certificate presentations will take place across our schools from Monday, 3rd July onward.
Be sure to bring along family, friends and cameras and join in the celebrations.
Those students who have reached 1st Degree Black Belt and above, we will contact you when your belts have been completed.
See you soon.
On Sunday, 2nd July one of our adult Black Belts, Saom, and his father Amir, will be taking part in Man on the Run; a wonderful 5k run raising much needed funds and awareness for male cancer research.
This is such a fantastic cause and challenge – one which we know you will both triumph in.
Good-luck to you both and let’s all help them hit their fundraising target.
