Helping Change 4 Life

Posted on: January 27th, 2013 by David Finch

On Saturday, 25th January MF Kent and some of the Team gave a fantastic demo class in front of hundreds of shoppers in Whitefriars Shopping Centre, Canterbury.

The event was organised by the NHS Change 4 Life department and Kent County Council to help promote the benefits of exercise and to raise awareness about healthy eating.

Thank you so much to all the students who came out to show their amazing ability and attitude.  Everyone was so impressed and I am very proud of you all.  There is a group photo with the Juniors in the photos section of the website.  I would also like to thank the following students and team members for giving up their time to attend:

Sam (Swalecliffe), Mr Kalle Homewood, Mr Bryn Homewood, Mrs Susan Daly and all the amazing parents and supporters.

Wednesday, 7th November saw both the Juniors & Mighty Matt students from Reculver Primary School perform an amazing demo in front of their school.

 

With over 400 children and staff watching they performed hand-drills, the kick-boxing drill, some amazing kicks and some self-defence – wowing the school!

 

To show such confidence, energy and pride in front of that many people was fantastic to see and I am very proud of you all.
