I feel so fortunate that my daughter has been able to take mixed martial arts with Matt Summers, known to the kids as Mr. Matt, for several years. For $ 8 a class, it is an affordable option for kids to gain vital self-defense skills, as well as confidence and self-esteem. The website is not that great and takes some wading through. You can just turn up to the class and register there and never have to refer to the website again. :) Matt is an absolute treasure. His classes have grown in popularity to the point that he is now going to add a 5th class on Saturdays. That’s five classes is a row that he will be teaching. And this is outside of his full-time job. I know for a fact that he doesn’t make a fortune doing this, but he does it for the noble cause of helping kids be as strong and confident as they can. I cannot even begin to imagine the positive impact he has made on countless children’s lives. I have seen kids blossom over the years, and as they advance, they take on leadership roles in the classes. The class sizes are large, so if that is a problem for you, don’t even try it. But for $ 8 a class, you really can’t complain. Try pricing the martial arts studios. These classes are an affordable option for families that cannot pay those studio prices. And if Mr. Matt ever leaves, I will be devastated.
