ages and fitness
Matt and his team have used their vast collective experience to develop programmes for people of all ages and levels of fitness, from the "Mighty Matts" pre-school clubs to the latest brand developed solely for women - "Ladies Only".

Regular training through Matt Fiddes Martial Arts delivers much more than physical improvement. Your strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and confidence will increase considerably. But this is only the start. Physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of value skills, both mental and spiritual. Children at the Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Schools learn life skills such as Respect, Discipline, Goal setting, Concentration, Stranger Danger, First Aid and lots more. Our method incorporates a range of techniques and styles for a well-balanced self-defence system

The Matt Fiddes Martial Arts method incorporates a combination of techniques and principles from a variety of martial arts styles, including: Karate, Kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do, Ju Jitsu, martial arts weapons and Kung Fu - all of which provides our students with a well-balanced self-defence system. Bringing together the best of a range of styles into an integrated system gives Matt Fiddes students the advantage they need to protect themselves in virtually any situation. The Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Schools have been helping people improve their lives through teaching Martial Arts since 1997. Our main goal is to enhance self-esteem and confidence. We achieve this through building self-confidence and character, and by developing a sense of respect for others; in addition to teaching effective self-defence skills and action-packed, fun classes!

Here are some of the Benefits of Sparring in Martial Arts 🥋🔥

Sparring isn’t just about trading punches — it’s where growth happens for all juniors and adults in a safe enviroment 🙌🏻
Here’s why every martial artist should embrace it:

1. Sharpens Technique
Sparring turns drills into real reactions. You learn what works, what doesn’t, how to adapt on the spot and maneuver around techniques coming at you.

2. Builds knowledge & understanding
Distance, Timing and Angles —
Distance: Knowing when you are in striking range.
Timing: Learning when to initiate or counter.
Angles: Positioning yourself effectively to attack or defend.
These skills cannot be fully developed through static practice alone - sparring teaches you to think like a martial artist, not just move like one.

3. Boosts Confidence
Facing a live partner helps you stay calm under pressure. The more you spar, the more comfortable you become.

4. Improves Speed & Reflexes
You train your body to respond instantly, making your movements faster and more efficient.

5. Teaches Control & Respect
Controlled sparring builds trust, discipline, and humility — key principles of all martial arts.

6. Great Conditioning
It’s one of the best full-body workouts. Strength, cardio, endurance — all in one session.

7. Preparation for real life situations
Sparring gives you safe, structured exposure to unpredictability while sharpening your self-defense instincts.
