Matt Fiddes Martial Arts School - MF York

This was such a brilliant day last week! 🏫

Learning the importance of risk awareness, personal boundaries and self defense for these young adults moving into work & travel. 🛡️

Wishing them all the best for the future 🚀

Not by talking about confidence.

By doing things that challenge them.

Balancing on a beam.

Trying something difficult.

Falling off.

Trying again.

And eventually landing a turning kick like this 💥🥋

It's amazing what children can achieve when they're given the opportunity to 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻, 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄.

Another brilliant night at Wigginton tonight 👏

Because the habits children build at 6, 7 and 8 years old often become the character traits they carry into their teenage years and beyond. 🥋

Every week our students are learning to:

✅ Listen and focus
✅ Show respect
✅ Work hard when things get difficult
✅ Build confidence in themselves
✅ Support and encourage others

And they have a lot of fun doing it 🤸‍♀️

This photo was taken at our class last night. A room full of children developing skills that will help them far beyond martial arts.

'I will share what I have learned with others, lead by example...' is actually part of our adult student creed

But I love to see even our youngest students and juniors taking on board this philosophy 🥋

It shows leadership and courage way beyond their years to support another student like this 👏

Big well done to all of our students who help to lift each other up with encouragement and support 😇

🔥🔥🔥 RAWCLIFFE 🔥🔥🔥 Our newest location has now been running one month!

What a month it's been ... Lots of new friendships forming and children helping each other

The growth in confidence and focus already has been incredible 👏 I'm so impressed and proud of them all 🥋

Wishing our superstar student and junior instructor Kiron all the very best as he heads off to America 🇺🇸

It's been a pleasure having him train with us, and he'll be missed by everyone at MF York. 🥋

We've had so many compliments from parents about Kiron's attitude, kindness and willingness to help others. His personality and positive influence on the younger students will be truly missed.

A special thank you to his mum for all of her support over the years too 💚 Louisa Parrillo

Good luck on your next adventure, Kiron - we know you'll do great things! 🌟

I was dreading bringing Cam to class tonight 🌪️😅

He's only 2, but he spent most of the lesson watching the older children and copying what they were doing.

A good reminder that children are always watching and often copy what they see 👀

Really proud of both my boys tonight 💚🥋

Thank you to Acomb for your support!
