Jiketsu Martial Productions Opens
A brand new martial arts center formally opened today [June 28] at the Old Berkeley. Reuben Bean, one of the island’s most successful competitive martial artists, opened the Jiketsu Martial Productions Foundation. Mr Bean thanked many people including his parents as well as his partner Laura Bell, whom he said supported him no matter how outlandish his ideas seemed. The grandmaster of the event who cut the ribbon, was their 22 month old son Nico.

The center has obviously had quite a lot of effort put into preparing it, with touches including posters, hanging scrolls, floor mats as well an office are done in deep red with Asian accents. They will offer a range of martial arts classes for all ages from toddler to adults, as well health services, MMA, self defence and more.
A veteran competitor, Mr. Bean has won over 100 trophies and medals in his competitive career. He is a seven time BMAF National Grand Champion, has represented Bermuda in international contests in various nations including Italy, Spain, Mexico, Canada, USA and earlier this year won three gold medals at the 2010 Arnold Martial Arts Festival.
