Ever walked into your usual training spot and felt like you stepped into a completely different world? That's exactly what's happening at Self Defense Academy COS, where a series of fantastic renovations has transformed this Colorado Springs Academy into a much more usable space.
Breaking Down Barriers (Literally!)
Remember those wooden structures that used to house silk training? They're gone! And what's left behind is something every martial artist craves - pure, glorious training space. More room for training, more space for sparring, and definitely more opportunities for those dynamic throwing techniques we all love.
From Drab to Fab
The lower-level studio has undergone its own transformation, sporting a fresh coat of white paint that energizes the entire space. But that's just the beginning. New, sleek furniture with built-in storage cubbies means you can finally say goodbye to gym bags cluttering the Lobby area. And let's be honest - who doesn't love having a cubbie spot for their gear?
The Crown Jewel: Professional-Grade Zebra Tatami Mats
Here's where things get really exciting. The academy scored an incredible deal on genuine Zebra tatami mats. If you're not familiar with Zebra Athletics, they're basically the Ferrari of training mats. These aren't your average puzzle mats - we're talking professional-grade equipment that's going to make every breakfall feel like landing on a cloud (well, almost).
No More Bathroom Line Drama
In what might be the most practical upgrade of all, there's now a second restroom. This should lead to less post-class waiting games or rushed changes before your next appointment!
The Heroes Behind the Transformation
None of this magic happened by itself. A dedicated crew of community members - Mike, Preston, Daniel, Maritza and Flip - poured their time and energy into making these upgrades happen. They're the real MVPs of this transformation story.
But here's the best part - this is just the beginning. Word on the street is that more improvements are in the works. Keep your eyes peeled for new surprises popping up in the coming weeks!
Haven't visited the academy lately? There's never been a better time to drop by and experience these upgrades firsthand. The mats are fresh, the space is open, and your spot on them is waiting.
See you on the mats!
