The Empowerment Through Martial Arts programme, run by Cobra Life in Flintshire, is funded by North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Andy Dunbobbin through his Innovate to Grow fund. Andy Dunbobbin, North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner, said: "Projects such as Empowerment Through Martial Arts demonstrate the positive impact that community organisations can have when they are given the right support. Cobra Life director and martial arts instructor Gavin Eastham welcomed Mr Dunbobbin to their Shotton base, one of three locations alongside Flint and Buckley. During the visit, Mr Dunbobbin saw playground games and martial arts training. Mr Eastham said: "What makes us different from any other martial arts school is that we care less about people’s physical skills and more about their mental and emotional development.
