Saturday’s official opening of the new Centre of Excellence in the heart of Redruth was a resounding success, with people of all ages and backgrounds filling both studios over the course of the day.
Despite the horrible weather outside, people still came to have a look at the newly refurbished academy as the students and instructors put each other through their paces with demonstrations of sparring, kicking, board breaking, forms, self-defence and everything in-between. Plenty of hot tea and coffee helped keep spirits high and hands warm.
The amount of interest from the local people surpassed even our own high expectations, and parents especially were glad to see the emphasis of our teaching on the traditional aspects of our martial arts; respect and discipline.
We love the new T-shirts!
We were lucky enough to have the mayor in attendance to come and see the results of our hard work and long hours spent getting the building ready, and after some kind words (not to mention a few punches thrown by the mayor himself!) we now feel firmly a part of the town and local community.
New students are already coming through the door, with more set to join them in the very near future. If you want to see what the fuss is about, get fit, and learn some valuable life skills, why not come and give it a go yourself?
