One of our wonderful Junior Instructors, Jasper, has recently gone out of his way to help the community clean up the local pond and communal area for the partially sighted as part of his Community Challenge.
As part of their J.C.I.T. journey, students must plan and be involved in something that benefits others in their community and Jasper has certainly done this – well done Jasper! This is a fantastic example of being a Black Belt outside of the Martial Arts class.
As part of the Junior Instructor assessment process, one of our team members, Lauren Russell, took the time to help much needed funds and awareness for Parkinson’s Disease.
This fund raising was part of the Community Challenge that Lauren undertook; being part of something that benefits others in the community. Lauren’s efforts helped raise over £600 which is a fantastic effort!
After her fund raising evening, Lauren then presented her work to her Martial Arts class in Canterbury which is a challenge in itself. However, she rose to the task and presented in a very confident, entertaining and informative way, so thank you and well done Lauren.
We now have Forms 1-4, as performed by Master Finch, available to download from the student login section of our website for you to practice at home.
If you have any questions about these or any Forms please do not hesitate to speak to your Instructor.
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.

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