Battle of Kent
9th March 2024
WOW!!!
What a day for FIMA and our fighters for our first appearance at the Battle of Kent K1 event.
All our fighters took on the tough challenge in their first K1 event and represented FIMA well. Each individual fight was tough in their own right, our guys never gave up and kept battling to the very end.
It was a great experience for our fighters, and we intend to continue training hard and levelling up our skills to progress further and get better at what we do.
Well done to (from L-R in the photo) Barnaby Bowden, Adam Kociecki, Toby Allan and Riley Marden.
We have a ring!
3rd February 2025
FIMA has expanded. We've obtained the place next door which means everything is bigger. Entrance, changing room, training area, bag area and we have the ring back! It will smell of paint a bit but thanks so much to everyone (Sensei John Ould) and our students who made it happen. Onwards and upwards!

Great work and technically very competent
Battle of Kent
7th July 2019
A great event as always saw a bizarre majority decision against veteran fighter Graham Naismith in what was in now known as the Maidstone Travesty.
Some great performances but the day belonged to James Stevens who competed tirelessly against an experienced MMA fighter in a brutal clash.
