The Demolition

Today we started demolition on the school! We got more done than was expected thanks to the help of our good friends Miss Toni, Mr. Smith, Mr M and our main contractor, Mr. Boulden (Miss Boulden's dad). After today's work, most of the walls are knocked down! It was exciting to see how big 3200 square feet really is.

We were delighted and felt very welcomed today when we saw passersby in the shopping center pop their heads in our door to see what we were up to. All who stopped by were very excited to find out that ATA Martial Arts was coming into their area!

Our goals over the next few weeks are to clean up after today's demo, post "coming soon" signs in the windows, and to introduce ourselves to households, schools, and other businesses in the surrounding area. We learned a lot today about our space and are eager to learn even more as the next few weeks pass by before we are finally open and doing what we love to do....teach martial arts and life skills!
