I remain fully committed to maintaining the highest possible standards in training, coaching, safeguarding, and professional development at the UK Kung fu School
I believe that wellbeing and safety must sit at the centre of everything we do. For this reason, the instructors continually invest time and effort into obtaining recognised training, certifications, and safeguarding standards that support a safe, professional, and supportive environment for all students.
It is important to emphasise that much of this work is undertaken voluntarily. However, we believe that holding ourselves to the highest standards is not optional when working with children, young people, and adults in a coaching environment.
Our commitment is clear: to remain proactive, responsible, and fully compliant with recognised coaching and safeguarding expectations, ensuring that every member of our school can train in a safe, respectful, and professionally managed environment.
These values guide everything we do and will continue to shape the standards we uphold at the UK Kung fu School

I continue to invest in developing both my own training and the standards at the UK Kung Fu School. Much of this work isn’t compulsory, but I strongly believe that anyone teaching martial arts should hold themselves to the highest possible standards.
At present there is very little regulation around coaching martial arts. Personally, I believe there should be at least a basic level in place to protect students and maintain quality. Until that day comes, I’ll continue to make sure our school meets and exceeds the standards that should exist.

Happy Lunar New Year to all our students and families at the UK Kung Fu School 🧧🐎
Today marks the beginning of the rare Year of the Fire Horse — a powerful combination that comes only once every 60 years. This is a year of intensity, momentum and transformation. In the martial arts, we speak often about balance: courage with restraint, power with control, speed with awareness. The Fire Horse embodies all of these lessons.
This year will amplify boldness, drive and determination. It rewards those who step forward with purpose, while reminding us that true strength comes from focus and discipline. If there is something you have been on the edge of — a goal, a challenge, a new level in your training, or something in life you have been waiting to begin — this is the year to move.
Plan with care. Train with intent. Then act with courage.
In kung fu, progress comes from consistent effort and the willingness to step beyond comfort. The Fire Horse encourages us to do exactly that: to trust our training, support one another, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Be bold in action, but measured in mind and spirit.
May this year bring growth in your practice, strength in your character, and success in your endeavours. Train hard, stay focused, and support your fellow students — together we make progress.
Wishing you all health, resilience and prosperity in the Year of the Fire Horse.
Kung Fu spirit, always.

This weekend, our UK Kung Fu School instructors and junior coaching team completed their first aid training again.
Safety, professionalism, and care are at the heart of everything we do. While much of this compliance is voluntary, it includes DBS checks, safeguarding, trauma-aware practice, concussion awareness, policy and inclusion training.
We’re proud to uphold the highest coaching standards for all our students at the UK Kung Fu School.

Great to be out training today. A good opportunity to blow the cob webs off Christmas and a lovely river walk.
I like these informal training session as I teach a little differently. Today, an opportunity to explore some old village arts kung fu using a modern twist on Japanese sword skills teaching. Great to see everyone for a chat, quality training and some hill sprints to finish.

🥋 Calling all past students! Let’s make 2026 the year you return stronger 💪
Hey everyone — it’s that time of year again when the holidays wind down and we start thinking about goals, growth, and getting back to the things that make us feel alive! 😊
If you’ve ever trained with us at UK Kung Fu School in Maidstone, you know that Kung Fu isn’t just another fitness class — it’s a full martial art journey that builds strength, confidence, discipline, agility, and mental focus at every step.
👉 Whether you’ve been out of training for a few weeks, months, or even a year… January is the perfect time to return. The door is wide open, the dojo is ready, and there’s a place waiting for YOU on the floor.
What you’ll find when you come back:

• A supportive, friendly training environment that pushes you just enough to grow.
• Physical and mental benefits that go beyond the gym — improved balance, focus, coordination, and confidence.
• A chance to reconnect with old training partners and rediscover your passion.
💥 No matter your age or previous experience, our adult classes are designed to meet you where you are and help you improve from there — one step, one class, one powerful movement at a time.
📅 So why not make January your month to come back?
Let’s train together, set new goals, and make real progress in 2026.

I am pleased to share my continued professional development in martial arts is both in and out of the training hall. I have now completed Mental Health First Aid for Martial Artists to assist me in the coaching environment.

I am pleased to share that once again, I have been awarded the Safe Guarding Code for running a martial arts school for 2025.
This scheme was launched by the Sports Minister in early 2018 and is delivered through a group of partners and experts in safeguarding including the Child Protection in Sport Unit (NSPCC) and Sport England.
The scheme supports martial arts clubs and providers to implement and maintain high quality safeguarding practices and where these have been demonstrated, the club/provider is able to display the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts logo.
