I am delighted to announce some unique training dates for students who are red-stripe & above.  These IMC sessions (IMC – “International Master Class”) are taught by some of the most experienced instructors within the MF Group and are open to students and instructors from across the UK.  This provides a very special environment to learn from and experience training with some of the highest ranked students and instructors we have.

Each 5hr IMC event is run as follows:

  • First 2hrs  – open to any student who is red-stripe & above (£29.00 – family discounts available)

  • Students who are 1st Degree & above will take part in all 5hrs

We are very lucky to be hosting one of these IMC events in Canterbury so be sure to book early as spaces are limited:

Firstly, a huge well done to everyone that took part in Sunday’s Grading.  It was such a positive day for the MF Kent School and each and everyone of you deserve a big pat on the back for working so hard and doing your very best.

We are very excited to be able to present new belts and certificates in all classes this week.  Feel free to bring along your families and friends and don’t forget your cameras.

See you soon.

Congratulations to the MF Kent Team

The 2018 MF British Championships were certainly a day to remember.  It was the largest competition ever for the MF Group and the excitement, tension and standard was very high indeed.

Our intrepid team ventured to Swindon having dedicated a great deal of time and effort to their training.  Simply to enter and compete takes a great deal of courage.  All of them are winners!

We had tears, laughter, highs and lows but with over 600 competitors it was always going to be a tough day.  We put in some exceptional performances and they can all be very proud of how they performed.

Here was the team:

  • Hugo Ross-Phillips (1 x silver: Wavemaster)
  • Jack Calvert (1 x silver: Extreme Kicking)
  • John Boon (1 x silver: Forms)
  • Josh Boon
  • Evie-Sue Lewis (1 x Gold: Kick-boxing drill)
  • Millie-Rose Hinder

None of their success would be possible without the incredible dedication of our team of Instructors, families and friends who all came along to support and cheer the team on.  Thank you one and all for helping to create a superb atmosphere for everyone.

Regional Championships – March 2019!

Canterbury, 17th Oct – UPDATE

Posted on: October 17th, 2018 by David Finch

All classes will now be held upstairs in the Sports Hall (6th form area) and NOT the main sports hall.

Space will be a bit tight so unfortunately parents will be asked to wait outside.  Please bring your children upstairs for the start of the class and we will collect them at the entrance to the room.  At the end of the class we will walk the children downstairs to meet you.

Many thanks for your understanding.
