MASTER Matt Fiddes made a special guest appearance at recent gradings of his Weymouth and Dorchester school.

Former world champion Fiddes is a Sixth Degree black belt and six times British taekwondo champion, and currently runs the fasting growing martial arts schools across the UK and Australia.

Fiddes also has other claims to fame, as explained by local instructor Giles Richards.

He said: “Master Fiddes spends a lot of his time working as a bodyguard to the stars.

“He worked with the Jackson family for many years, and now works with famous people such as Uri Gellar, Peter Andre, Mark Lester, Danielle Lloyd and Katie Price.

“It was great to have him at our school. We had a 100 per cent pass rate at the gradings, which is a huge achievement for all the students and myself as the instructor.”

Classes at Holy Trinity School take place on Wednesdays and Fridays, for all ages and all abilities.
