25.01.2022 So perhaps you’ve been practicing martial arts for awhile, and have been thinking about getting your kids on board. Or maybe your kids are already enrolled in a martial arts class, and you’re wondering if you should join them in picking up some self-defense skills. Well, we think that’s a fantastic idea, and you should definitely train together as a family! Apart from gaining the necessary skills to protect yourself, working out with your kids is also a great way to keep active and grow together as family.

24.01.2022 Who is watching the newest Cobra Kai #Netflix series?

23.01.2022 Martial arts is front and center in popular culture movies and other media. Every time Hollywood launches a new Batman, X-Men or Star Wars movie, audiences of all ages are witnessing martial arts en masse. The sport of UFC has become one of the most exciting sports of our time! For our young children, there are the heroes in Kung Fu Panda and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to emulate on the playground. We’re surrounded by martial arts everywhere, all the time so there’s no que...stion that martial arts is more popular today than it has ever been.. Everyone has a reason to practice martial arts nowadays: from fitness and self-defense in our adult program, to how our children’s program ties in a mental component for every punch and kick. Parents will always have a reason to send their kids to martial arts because we provide the fundamental discipline their children need to succeed in school and succeed in life. In an article titled, What are the Benefits of Martial Arts for Kids, Livestrong reports that Martial arts practitioners strive for harmony, but also learn effective self-defense techniques. Children who get involved in martial arts reap many benefits in several areas of life. Adults have similar reasons for practicing martial arts, though adults typically desire a workout and knowledge of self-defense. At MF Martial Arts, we find that many parents take up martial arts after they enroll their kids as students, not only because they see how much fun their children are having, but also because they want a healthier lifestyle and a renewed confidence in approaching the world. The other big reason we have so many adults in our classes is because martial arts is a great, full-body workout. It’s not isolated, like going to the gym and hitting a treadmill and you get the added benefit of joining a like minded community you can belong to.

21.01.2022 Instructor spotlight of the week: Mr Sykes Here is his story

19.01.2022 New Year’s Resolutions are hard. You’ve probably heard some statistics before about how only a tiny percentage of people who sign up for the gym on January 1 are still working out by the end of February. That’s because a long-term fitness regime needs to be fun, and it needs to satisfy you. This is why martial arts classes are a great option for people looking to make their lifestyle a little more healthy. It’s a full-body workout, one that’s great for health and fitness. Mos...t importantly, it’s fun. Many people become addicted to Martial arts after trying it, because the tangible feeling of improvement is so rewarding.

17.01.2022 How Can Parents Increase Their Teen’s Self-Confidence? Like it or not, self-confidence is crucial to your teenager’s (and everyone’s) success in life. Self-confidence defines our trust in our own abilities, qualities and judgement. It impacts how we carry and conduct ourselves and plays a fundamental role in shaping our adult personalities. According to a joint university study covering 31,000 students from five continents, self-confidence also plays a major role in facilitat...ing happiness and healthier lifestyles. That’s why it’s important that your teen starts to develop their self-confidence to build and grow. As a parent, you might not always feel like you’re being listened to but the truth is, you’re still the most influential person in your teen’s life. Your words and actions have a major impact. That means it’s possible for you to play a major role in shaping your teenager’s self-confidence Encourage Your Teenager to Try New Things One of the best ways for your teenager to increase their self-confidence is to try new extra-curricular activities. By getting out there and experiencing new things, your teen can discover hidden talents, face fears of failure and start to build their self-worth. Part-time jobs, clubs, volunteer work or starting up a musical instrument are all great ways to branch out. Physical activities like martial arts are a fantastic way for your teen to build self-confidence, too. Martial art classes in particular are brilliant at assisting teens in building self-confidence because they teach crucial life skills such as realistic goal setting and are built around positive encouragement.

16.01.2022 We offer an instructors training program (ACIT) and we enroll select students as young as 11 years old. People often ask, Why would you start training instructors so young? Easy. The proof is in this picture. All of these Students, Miss Baker, Miss Weir and Mr Salisbury, started training around 4 years old in mighty Matts, enrolled in our JCIT program early on and learned to teach as they were learning martial arts. Years later, they are unbelievable martial artists and in...credible Assistant teachers. Learn to teach, teach to learn.

16.01.2022 Covid lockdown had its pros and cons one of the cons was that loss of social engagement not just for us adults but also the kids. This lack of social engagement can have affects on their social skills as well as confidence. We are happy to see the students back in face to face classes doing what they love but we also love to see how much they have missed their teachers and friends.

14.01.2022 When was the last time you were competitive? Maybe applying for that job with 10+ other candidates? Maybe it was buying your dream house or car?

Whatever it is, competition helps us to motivate ourselves, increases problem-solving abilities and most importantly, encourages teamwork!

04.01.2022 Deciding to get into shape may be one of the best things you can do for your health. A physical regimen that involves strength training and conditioning not only reduces chronic disease but also improves your balance and coordination. If you’re unsure where to begin, consider joining Matt Fiddes martial arts for beginners. As a new hobby, it is one of the most rewarding and exciting things to do.

03.01.2022 One tradition we instill in all our students is the bow. Bowing on the mat or just as you enter the dojo is an ancient practice that , . This is referred to as Emptying Your Cup. When "emptying your cup" imagine that you balanced a cup of tea on your head, except instead of tea it was full of the thoughts and experiences of your day.... Bowing at the door of the dojo empties your cup of those thoughts, taking away outside distractions, allowing your cup to be refilled with the knowledge and positive experiences you will gain from your Martial Arts class. Some examples of preoccupied thoughts to be emptied would be homework you have to complete later, what happened at work that day, or what will we have for dinner tonight. By pouring out these thoughts and responsibilities you will be making room in your cup for the new things you'll learn in class. Additionally, at the beginning or ending of class when we bow, this is an expression of both gratitude and respect. When an Instructor bows at the beginning or ending of class they are saying, Thank you for being my student. As the student bows they are saying in return, Thank you for being my teacher. Dave Kovar
