New Greenbrier Location: Changing Lives Martial Arts is excited to announce the opening of our new location! October 1st we will be moving our Greenbrier academy to “Orchard Square Shopping Center” located on the corner of Kempsville Road and Volvo Parkway which is just two miles down the street. Our new location will be a 3000 sq ft state of the art facility with top notch training equipment and a beautiful lobby for all of our Changing Lives Martial Arts family members and spectators. To raise funds for the new Zebra mats, we will be offering our current red & blue mats to the Greenbrier students through September 17th at $10 a mat. After September 17th, we will open this offer to all of our CLMA schools as we need to ensure they are gone by the end of the month. These mats will be ready for pick up on Thursday the 29th and Friday the 30th of September. If you are interested in purchasing any of the mats for training at home, a workshop or for your garage, please see Mr. Craft.
