We are very excited to announce our plans to send a united team from England, Scotland, Ireland, N.Ireland & Wales to Australia in October 2024. After numerous visits by the Australian team over the years it is time we returned the favour to take part in events there.
This trip is open to all students and family members of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to take a large team of Instructors, students and family members to take part in some or all of the following events and spend time on the sunshine coast:
Grading
International Championships
International Master Class & training day
Black tie ball
As you can imagine this is a very exciting but huge undertaking and as part of that we plan to raise as much money as we can over the next 18-mths to ease as many of the financial limits as possible. This will be an amazing trip as well as an opportunity to challenge and grow as Martial Artists – learning from the very best that the Matt Fiddes Martial Arts global community has to offer. To find out more we would like to invite you to attend a no-commitment group Zoom call to find out:

& Higher Belt Training for Red-stripes – Deputy Blacks
We are very excited to announce the 2023 dates for the exclusive Black Belt training. For those of you who have not attended one of these events, these are specific events for higher belts taught by Master Poplett (4th Dan), Master White (4th Dan) and myself. Included in those dates is an event in CANTERBURY on 26th February. (BOOK NOW)
NEW FOR 2023 we are going to trial opening up the IMC events in Swindon and Southampton only to red-stripes and above for the first 2hrs only and then black belts will remain for the rest of the IMC. All other venues (Canterbury, Warrington & Street) will remain exclusive to black belts only.
All details can be found on the booking forms (please note that the booking for the new IMC events in Southampton & Swindon is slightly different to the normal IMC bookings for Kent, Warrington & Street).

Due to the school having no heating for the past 48hrs the venue is closed and therefore we will not be able to run classes this evening.
Please accept our apologies for the late notice – they were hoping to have the problem solved by this time.
We will endeavour to add a little extra time to classes to make up for this week. In the meantime, wrap up warm and we will see you next week (20th Dec) for the last class of 2022 and for some belt presentations for our successful students at the last grading.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish each and every student and family a very happy festive period. 2022 has been an exceptionally positive year with so many achievements across the board. Have a good rest and I look forward to seeing you all for more in 2023.
Apologies for the late notice but due to an event on 3rd & 10th December all classes will be held in the PRIMARY SCHOOL on those dates (usual times) – CLICK HERE FOR MAP
Due to the size of the hall we will not be able to welcome spectators, however there is plenty of viewing space through the windows should you wish.
