We teach the children how to develop respect and confidence, learn how to avoid strangers and 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 life of these children.

About the programe

Do you own or run a pre-school nursery?

Are you looking for a way to dramatically increase you income without expansion or increasing overheads?

Then the Matt Fiddes Mighty Matts Programme could be exactly what you have been looking for.

Here are 8 reasons why the Matt Fiddes Mighty Matts martial arts programme is so successful operating within a pre-school nursery.

Specially adapted system for Nurseries and Nursery school teachers.

Our Mighty Matts programme is designed to be taught to children from three to six years old. We also have successful programmes for children aged between seven and eleven years and adults program too! Mighty Matts is the number one self-defence and life skills teaching system in the UK for the under-sevens.
We teach our martial arts and life skills through games and specially designed drills that deliver fun, but also develop skills and behavioural patterns that have a positive effect on every aspect of their future.

Improved resource utilisation

Many nurseries have large spaces that are not used to capacity. Adding our pre school self-defence and character education classes will considerably increase utilisation without increasing costs.

Additional promotional benefits

You know the market for nursery places is very competitive, but what if you could have an edge that gives parents something extra - a class that teaches not only the educational and social aspects you would expect to find in any nursery, but also the added benefit of self-defence and discipline that Mighty Matts delivers. If you are a parent looking for something special then choose a nursery with Mighty Matts. The Mighty Matts format is hugely successful with over 10,000 members across the UK. Be the nursery that owns this programme in your area before your competitors own it first!

Utilise existing staff

Existing nursery staff are trained by us to deliver the Mighty Matts classes. This avoids additional overheads, and provides you and your staff with all the skills and training you will need to make you into martial arts coaches. No past experience in martial arts is needed and ongoing training will take you and your staff to black belt and beyond.

Community Impact

The Mighty Matt's instructional classes play a supportive role in state education by focusing on areas such as Fitness Self-control, Respect, Personal, Discipline, Goal Setting, Character Development and Personal Achievement. 

Schools, colleges, Members of Parliament and celebrities have endorsed the Matt Fiddes Martial Arts brand, and our aim is to ultimately introduce this type of class as part of the key Stage curriculum. Image a world where every child was a fit, respectful black belt by the time they left school.
