Welcome to Matt Fiddes Tiverton Martial Arts School in Tiverton, New Zealand. As part of the Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Schools chain, we are dedicated to providing top-quality martial arts instruction for all ages and abilities.
Our mission at Matt Fiddes Tiverton is to develop well-rounded students, both on and off the mat. We believe in teaching the principles of Black Belt excellence, which go beyond just becoming a skilled martial artist. We strive to help our students become academic Black Belts, corporate Black Belts, and Black Belt employees, using the Black Belt as a metaphor for personal excellence.
At our school, we offer a range of classes to suit different age groups and skill levels.
- Mighty Matts (age 3-6): Specifically designed to introduce young children to the fun and lessons of martial arts, focusing on topics like stranger danger, fire safety, respect, confidence, and good behaviour.
