THE TEAM

We are a very friendly and enthusiastic team with one objective in mind: to bring out the best from people, helping to boost their confidence, create a positive way of thinking and wellbeing and to meet their personal goals.

Me and the rest of the team were once students, and still are. Martial arts has changed our lives forever; This is the main reason we are part of the team as we want to pass on these benefits and help others grow.

Every student is different and on a unique journey. We feel proud to be part it.

JOIN OUR TEAM

We see everyone as part of our team, from our staff to students to parents.

Become an Instructor

We are always looking for new instructors.   Most have moved up the ranks internally, becoming assistants to then becoming fully fledged instructors, co-teaching classes to running your own school.

We also take onboard other martial artists, who would like to join our team.

We can even take on people interested in becoming an instructor but doesn't have any background martial arts experience.  This is because we do all training in-house, and have an intense fast track program to get you upto speed.

If you are interested in becoming an Instructor and would like to chat about options. please contact: Master Seb 07900517767 or masterseb@mattfiddes.com

Become an Assistant / Junior Assistant

With the students, we want to build them into becoming role models and leaders, especially with our Juniors.
Building on respect and a good high moral code, our assistants enjoy having responsibility by helping fellow students, learning the skills and confidence to communicate and teach.

We provide unique in-house training on how to take the initiative, teaching skills, and how to lead.   When reaching a competent level, we will present an Assistant Instructors badge for their uniform.

If you or your child would like to help in class and become an official assistant and learn new skills, please let the instructor know or contact: Master Seb 07900517767 or masterseb@mattfiddes.com

Become an Ambassador

We value the help that you the parents give, with tasks that are not always seen; From helping set up halls to being a friendly face and someone to talk to when new members arrive.

You don't need to know any martial arts. If you would like to help contribute in a small way and join our team then please let the instructor know or contact: Master Seb 07900517767 or masterseb@mattfiddes.com
