Nigel Benn said:

“When I heard about the Lee Matthews’-British Military Martial Arts I thought what a great opportunity it would be for ex-service men and women to utilise their skills for something productive that would ultimately be of great value to the local community. The training I had in the army is what made me, and helped me towards winning my world boxing title, and it prepares you perfectly for this role. Not only is this a great career opportunity for people who take it up, but it’s a win-win situation as these guys are able to pass their skills and knowledge down to their students – both adult and children – bringing on the next generation by instilling respect and discipline. They are also great motivators as they have been super-fit soldiers, who understand what is required to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle.”
