A FIGHTING fit man is inviting residents to get in shape while learning to stay safe at a new martial arts class.

Greg Bruner, 22, and his friend, Jason Hill, 25, are launching a karate-jujitsu class at Cookhill Village Hall every Wednesday night.

The pair already run a session at the hall for children but Mr Bruner said many adults had also expressed an interest in getting involved.

"We're both trained in martial arts and wanted to share our experience with other people, as well as giving something back to the community," he added.

Wednesday classes will run from 6-7.30pm and are suitable for all ages and all fitness levels, while Thursday sessions run from 5.45-7.15pm and are generally for younger residents. For details, call Mr Bruner on 07832 186784.
