OUR SCHOOLS
Family Martial Arts Black Belt Schools are owned and run by Master David Martin. Master Martin has over 29 years experience in various Martial Arts styles and disciplines, and has trained with some of the world's top instructors.
In 1995, Master Martin started running his own Martial Arts classes, and within two months he was running two successful martial arts clubs. In January 2002, Master Martin's first full time School of Martial Arts was opened in Maidstone Kent. He believed that with a permanent location he could offer superior training facilities and bring his unique teachings of Martial Arts and Life Skills to a wider audience. His theory was borne out, as Family Martial Arts has now grown to two full time schools

ABOUT OUR MARTIAL ARTS
The core Martial Art at Family Martial Arts is Taekwondo. This is a modern Martial Art from Korea, with roots going back thousands of years. The style is famous for its high kicks and fast hand techniques; 'Tae' means to strike with the foot or kick, 'Kwon' means to punch or strike with the hand, and 'Do' means art or method.
We also incorporate dynamic Kickboxing drills and kicking combinations, practical self defence and street awareness, fitness and conditioning, and optional weapons training into our programmes. In addition, our children's programmes place emphasis on learning Life Skills such as what 'Respect' means, how to earn it and how to show it.
Family Martial Arts Schools run to a planned curriculum incorporating all of these elements, designed so that everyone from the beginner to those experienced in other arts can benefit from our training.

READ SOME REVIEWS FROM OUR STUDENTS
"Edwards's focus has vastly improved, and his perseverance has become greater. It has improved his manners and appreciation of his elders. Edward suffers from poor motor skills including his balance. We feel that this course of training is vastly improving both of these aspects. We also feel from watching all of the pupils, that it increases their concentration, and are then able to follow instructions of more than one movement."
"I have been very impressed with the teachings of the martial arts club. It has helped with concentration and learning right from wrong. The staff members are very dedicated and pupils are disciplined but have a lot of fun also. Good friendly atmosphere throughout the establishment and I hope my grandson continues to participate indefinitely."
Quality Excellent I have been with Family Martial Arts for the past 8 years now and feel it has helped me as a person tremendously. I have gained a large amount of physical capability and mental capability from this training. The various instructors at the school have allowed me to excel and shine within the far range of students. All of the instructors at the school are friendly and have vast experience in Tae-Kwon-Do. These two attributes means that anyone (including myself) can gain so many skills from participating at FMA. It is a amazing school with exceptional facilities and large amount of training programs to make any form of person able to train. There is also a great amount of choice in training times. Due to FMA being a full time school it has allowed me to manage my life and get a great kick out of doing martial arts. With their being four weekdays and a Saturday I can train it just makes it that much better for me and other trainees at the club. Making FMA one of the most well rounded clubs anyone could train at.
As mum & son we’ve been attending FMA together for 7 years now-which says it all really. The Special Family class we attend on a Saturday is disciplined, hard work, confidence-building, expertly run but most of all-fun! The school is so friendly and the instructors get to know the children really well, and can keep them motivated all through the lesson. My son has made huge progression through the belts and is so much more confident. Family Martial Arts is exactly that-a Family and we love being a member of it!
