The Family Martial Arts and Fitness School in Maidstone - Martial Arts and Fitness for the Whole Family
Martial arts are good for children – so say recent studies - and at the Family Martial Arts and Fitness School in Maidstone high self-esteem is a number one priority.
Developing confidence, self defence, looking good and being happy are the ultimate goals at the county town martial arts school.
A school for children, teenagers and adults, FMAAF invites whole families to keep fit and learn new martial art skills together.
Studies have shown that children in martial arts have an increased sense of responsibility and have higher self-esteem, and FMAAF believes their classes teach discipline, demonstrate rules of behaviour and give a sense of accomplishment.
Trained staff give youngsters a positive outlet for their energy and teach self-defence – making them feel less threatened by the outside world, and bullying in particular.
Martial art also teaches respect within families, for teachers and for peers, and many parents have reported that their child’s school grades have improved since starting martial arts.
With recent studies showing that children spend too much time watching TV, FMAAF’s instructors help children develop skills such as:
• Confidence
• Respect
• Focus
• Self-control
• Courage
• Discipline
Open five days a week, with a fully-matted training hall and a keep fit gym, the Maidstone-based school also works with adults to help them:
• Lose weight
• Keep fit
• Improve muscle tone
• Lower stress
• Manage anger
• Make new friends
• Increase confidence
• Learn self-defence techniques
• AND OTHERS
The two main martial arts practised are Taekwondo, a traditional Korean martial art using hand and foot strikes, and Kickboxing, a free style martial art employing boxing techniques with kicks.
The first two lessons at the Maidstone school are free, with no obligation to continue. Private lessons are available, as well as ladies-only self-defence classes and keep fit classes for people over 50 years old.
The venue even hosts children’s birthday parties.
