HUNDREDS of visitors turned out to the opening of a new martial arts centre in Kidderminster.
Martial artist and actor, Alex Reid, joined the launch of a new 6,000 sq ft centre at Russell Perks Martial Arts Academy on June 25, marking the day with the official ribbon-cutting.
Owner Russell Perks, 41, said: "It was a fantastic. All our new members were very excited to see the new facilities – they are probably one of the best facilities in the area.
"We had a superb turn out with over 350 people showing up so it was a great response, with over 30 new members signing up on the Saturday and further enquires made too.
"Everybody was excited to meet Alex Reid too. He was blown away by what he saw."
The new centre is located at Units 17/18 on Meadow Mill Industrial Estate.
