Both my daughter and I really enjoy Mr Harrison classes, he makes them fun an engages well with my 8 year old and she loves coming to the classes. I really enjoy them as well and I find Mr Harrison very easy to understand thus making my learning experience that much more valuable. We really enjoy them. Thanks 👍 More...

Without a doubt signing my young son up to Carl’s classes was the best decision I have made for him. As an autistic child he has always struggled to understand discipline and to focus on specific tasks. Since joining martial arts his self confidence has grown, his concentration at school has improved ten fold and he loves his weekly classes and sees them as his chance to shine. I could not be more grateful to Carl Harrison and I’m even planning on joining his classes myself now More...

Excellent classes, my 4year old takes the Mighty Matt's class and it has hugely developed his confidence levels, and helped him realise what he can achieve. He thoroughly enjoys the classes and Mr Harrison makes the lessons fun and engaging. I myself take the adult classes and love it. It gives me confidence, helps with my fitness levels and is nice to be able to see my progression. The instructors are friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging and most importantly know how to have a laugh! More...

MF Mighty Matts
We teach the children how to develop respect and confidence, learn how to avoid strangers and pick up basic self-defence, how to avoid dangerous situations and how to defeat a bully without fighting.
Parents of the children in our Mighty Matt's classes tell us what great changes we make to the lives of these children. To find out why contact us and come and see a Mighty Matts class in action and talk parents about what their children get from the classes.

Stranger Danger
Coordination
Confidence
Respect
Self Control
Classes are 30-45 minutes long and our instructors are especially trained to teach children of this age group. All of our confidence-building exercises help to develop hand-eye coordination and motor skills. Through our philosophy of positive reinforcement, and the interaction with instructors and children, your child will develop the security and confidence to accept separation from you, be more focused and attentive, and ready for the upcoming road ahead in school.
The mighty Matt's programme is the largest and most successful programme of its kind in the world. We have got it to where it is because we have the finest staff in the martial arts industry who are qualified and trained to teach young children. They are all CRB checked and completely committed to developing our Might Matt’s youngsters.

Self Control?
We hear a lot in the media about failing schools and children failing at school. Our aim is to give children and their schools a helping hand to get back on track. The Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Junior Programme works hand in hand with a child's schoolwork, providing improved self-discipline, self-confidence, concentration, mental alertness, co-operation, goal setting advice and anti-bully skills. Our instructors work with their students teachers to make sure they are achieving in the classroom at well as the martial arts gym. This is one of our unique features and why we are so successful in working with children. We are educators and not just martial arts teachers and we run "schools" and not "clubs".
All young students in our children's programme are required to take a specially designed form to their teachers at school once a month. This has to be signed off by the teacher before the student can be considered to be put forward for an exam to take them to their next martial arts grade. The form also needs to be signed by the parents to show that they are being well behaved and are showing respect at home!
An important point to note is that our students are taught that the physical side of what we teach them should only ever be used in self-defence. We constantly remind them that their martial arts skills should never be used for unwarranted aggression. Our aim is to progress children through our belt grading system and every student's goal is to achieve Black Belt and beyond. Black belt is a symbol of excellence in martial arts and an important tool for instructors and parents to use for developing desire, determination and for teaching the importance of follow-through in any activity. Our students are taught never to give up at any given task and that they can do anything as long as they just put their mind to it. None of the above is possible without having outstanding instructors to guide and nurture your children. Matt Fiddes Martial Arts employs only fully qualified instructors who are DBS checked before they join our organisation.
The Family classes at the Matt Fiddes Martial Arts schools are extremely popular and offer something for people of all abilities who want to improve their lives. Classes are designed to offer students the best martial arts education – whether you’re looking to lose weight or learn to defend yourself, this class is for you.
We allow adults to train at their own level and pace, making sure you’re not rushed or pushed into anything too quickly. We teach the best of all of the martial arts styles from around the world, we teach only the most up-to-date and beneficial self-defence and fitness techniques
