Locals feature in martial arts display

 

Woy Woy Peninsula residents Louise Purcell, 15, Simon Buckley, 21, and Rebecca Fenton, 25, were a part of a spectacular martial arts display on August 3.

The students, all members of Black Belt Karate Studios, were chosen to be part of the demonstration team, which gave two performances: one to the public and one to a group of VIPs including Gosford mayor Cr Robert Bell and other Gosford councillors and Member for Peats Ms Marie Andrews.

The demonstration was part of a celebration for the opening of Black Belt Karate Studios' new location in Brooks Ave, Wyoming, and the opening of Mad Cow Theatre Company next door.

The day included the martial arts demonstrations, theatre skills demonstrations, games, rides and a free barbecue.

The demonstration team included children as young as five, and displayed the team's self-defence, sparring, forms and board-breaking skills.

During the demonstration, Cr Bell broke a board to officially open the new building.
