Matt with all 3 of his nephews who inspired him to teach kickboxing & helped to turn a dream into reality!
Matt Collins is the owner of Samurai Kickboxing which was born in 2010 due to his 4 year old nephew’s desire to learn kickboxing with his friends & the classes grew from there. Matt's nephew progressed to become a Black Belt & the 2 younger brothers joined the classes too!
In the UK, our in-school & public classes are in the following locations:
Berkshire - Windsor & Maidenhead
Buckinghamshire - Chiltern & Wycombe Districts
Herts - Rickmansworth, Stanmore & Watford
Dorset - Dorchester & Weymouth
Kickboxing classes began in Jersey in 2017 when Matt & his wife moved there. There are now over 350 students attending our in-school & public classes a week.
Samurai Kickboxing began as a family affair & remains so as Matt's sister Paula is the Marketing Director.
Across Samurai Kickboxing, we currently have 11 full-time, truly brilliant Instructors, Damian our CEO & our Office Manager, Polly.

As children progress through our syllabus, they can take a Grading to receive their 1st or next belt. Gradings are a regular feature of kickboxing but are completely optional.
Only once students are older or more experienced kickboxers do we start to include light pad work & sparring.
We incorporate anti-bullying techniques into our Kickboxing classes & also run sessions for schools, particularly for children transitioning from Year 6 in Primary School to Year 7 in Secondary School.
We have holiday camps every school holiday for children age 4-12. They learn kickboxing techniques through fun games & may even take their 1st Grading. It's no wonder they come back again & again!
Every year, we have an Annual Tournament in the UK & Jersey for all students across the organisation, to give them a taste of competitive martial arts in a fun & safe environment.
We can also take the pressure off you & entertain your child & their friends with a Kickboxing birthday party. We can even theme it if you like!
You may wish to check out our rapidly growing community in our Parents Who Protect Facebook Group. We provide parents with practical tips & techniques around the 3Ps - PREVENTION, PREPARATION & POWER to better equip children with the life skills required to cope in today’s society.
