We are very excited to announce that Master Fiddes (7th Dan), Head of the Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Organisation, will be visiting Kent on Sunday, 4th March 2018.
Due to the popular nature of such a visit we have had to pick a single, large location. If it was possible, he would love to visit each location individually.
All students are welcome to come along, have a class and meet Master Fiddes. The schedule will be as follows:
More details will follow shortly.
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.)

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
