Eleven Life Lessons is the book I would love every child to have access to. For me, the relevance of martial arts to children is not the physical skills of Jackie Chan, Bruce or Jet Lee. Instead, it is the teachings of the characters they play. It is the determination, the perseverance, their awareness of themselves and their surroundings, the long journey towards a distant goal, the conquering of challenges and the overcoming of adversity. It is standing up to the bully. It is the social etiquette and discipline adopted by a rebellious mind. It is the hard-won respect from peers and adversaries, and it is the achievement of strength and success from a position of weakness or naivety.
-Matthew Collins
Matthew Collins’ journey in martial arts began with a simple request from his three-year-old nephew, Ben, who begged him to teach him kickboxing. Out of family loyalty, Matthew agreed, but with a twist: he insisted that Ben bring nine of his friends along to make it a proper class.
Just a year earlier, Matthew had been teaching English in Japan when he experienced alarming symptoms, including leg pain and difficulty breathing. A trip to the doctor revealed a shocking diagnosis: Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, with a grapefruit-sized tumor on his chest. Despite undergoing eight months of grueling chemotherapy every two weeks, Matthew remained committed to his martial arts training and work.
Today, Matthew is a renowned martial arts instructor, teaching over 1,400 students a week across England. He passionately shares his expertise in kickboxing while emphasizing the importance of life skills such as confidence, self-protection, positive body language, and motivation. His dedication to empowering young people has led him to deliver his self-protection course to The Prince’s Trust.
Eleven Life Lessons draws on Matthew’s personal experiences, including his battle with cancer and his journey as a martial arts master. Through his own life lessons, he offers parents practical advice for raising resilient and confident children.
