Sponsors

Kernow Martial Arts are very proud to have been supported by DS Smith Packaging who provided sponsorship for the purchase of 16 Jigsaw Mats for use in groundwork and sparring within classes. It is our intention that these mats be used once or twice a month during sparring and groundwork lessons in order to ensure the safety of all students taking part.

Without the support of such groups we would not be able to provide the service we do. I hope that you will all join me in thanking D S Smith Packaging for their support.
