Mat Alderson
Hi, my name is Mat Alderson and I’m the owner and chief instructor at Valor Martial Arts. I look forward to growing the training school to include various other instructors whom students can learn and benefit from. My unique programmes are designed to combine, what I believe, are the most important aspects of kickboxing and krav maga to achieve my ultimate motto of ‘We rise by lifting others.’
We RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS
HOW I GOT INVOLVED WITH MARTIAL ARTS
My martial arts journey began when I was 11 years old. I started learning Tae Kwon Do with a local instructor who happened to live on the same estate. However, this was short-lived as my instructor soon moved away. Fortunately, a new kickboxing club opened up at the local church and, after attending a couple of classes, it was clear I had a natural passion and drive for the sport. My passion has only grown since.
It has always been my ambition to open my very own martial arts school and help children and adults improve their confidence, courage, self-esteem, and overall fitness levels – in the way that martial arts helped me. With the opening of Valor Martial Arts, I aim to achieve this while creating a safe environment where all members feel welcomed.
