Spaces will be limited so be sure to book early to avoid disappointment and take advantage of the early-bird entry fee. This will be an opportunity to train with and learn from some of the best Black Belts in the organisation.
On Sunday, 29th April the Matt Fiddes group held the second South-East Championships and it was wonderful to see so many students and families attending. With more competitors this year, we knew it was going to be a fun but challenging day and our little team performed so well!
For some it was their first tournament and for others, who are more experienced, it was an opportunity to be role models and help the team through the day. It is no exaggeration to say that we had some outstanding performances and I am so very proud of each member of the MF Kent Team.
It takes a great deal of commitment, hard work, determination and passion to perform at a Championships and I look forward to celebrating their successes in class this week:
Gold x 5, Silver x 3 & Bronze x 2
MF Kent Team:
Thank you to our wonderful team of coaches, Instructors, families and friends who all made the day go smoothly and offered so much support and enthusiasm. It was a fantastic atmosphere and such a positive experience for everyone.
Well done MF Kent family!
Master Finch
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.

Colourbelt Grading & Panel Grading
Sunday, 25th March 2018
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.
