For all MF Kent Team members who are competing at the South-East Championships on 29th April (Horley Leisure Centre), you are welcome to use this time for extra practice.
This will be a great opportunity to sharpen up those drills and ensure you are even more confident going into the big day.
Mr Homewood will be available during this session to help with anything you wish to practice.

Canterbury classes; 4th & 8th April 2018
All classes on these dates will be held at Simon Langton Girls School at the normal times. We will be back in the boys school from 15th April.
There is plenty of parking in the school and entry is through the main school reception doors. Please allow a little extra time if you are unfamiliar with the location.
For those students who attend our Herne School, as you know the old hall is being knocked down this week and we have been looking for a new venue until we can move into the brand new hall.
We have found a temporary location whilst we wait and the classes will run at the normal times, starting from Saturday, 14th April:
Broomfield Church, The Meadows, Hernebay, CT6 7XB (map)
0930hrs: Mighty Matts
1015hrs: Family class
NEW HALL UPDATE: we have been informed that the new hall will be ready by the end of April / beginning of May ( we will keep you updated as soon as we have an exact date).
There will be no classes running in Herne for the next two Saturdays (31st March & 7th April) but please do feel free to attend our Canterbury School at your convenience:
Simon Langton Boys School, Canterbury, CT4 7AS
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
A huge well done to every student who attended the recent Grading day on Sunday in Canterbury. The entire day had such a positive and energetic atmosphere and it was wonderful to see so many amazing performances. It was clear to see that you all worked so hard and deserve your rewards.
Grandmaster Murphy was very impressed with you all, especially our little Mighty Matts and is very much looking forward to returning later on this year.
I would like to also say a big thank you to the MF Kent family who gave up so much time to help on the day and this includes all you wonderful parents too – thank you for the day and for your continued support.
To give us time to get all the belts and certificates together we will be making belt presentations in class from Tuesday, 3rd April onward.
Congratulations to you all and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Simon Langton Boys School, Canterbury
This week we will be starting the process of tag-testing in preparation for the first Grading day of 2018. This is the start of tag-testing so please do not be worried if you or your child are not tagged straight away. We have just under 3 weeks to sharpen things up.
As always, if a student is ready they will receive:
To earn a black tag students will not only be required to remember their techniques and drills but “perform them” as well as demonstrating the correct attitude. If a student is not quite ready that is ok. There are plenty of other opportunities through the year. Please remember, all students progress at different speeds and there is no rush.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
