Dear CMAA Family and Friends,
亲爱的朋友们，
Since our first two week closure back in March, I never imagined we’d still be up against the ropes in our fight against this virus. However, I am proud to say we are still fighting strong. I am incredibly grateful and inspired by you all. You have demonstrated determination, and resilience. We will continue to be smart, and fight to stay moving forward our martial arts path. I am proud that CMAA can be a positive element in everyone’s life right now. Let’s keep it up- work hard, stay safe and keep moving forward! Check out this month’s newsletter and get information on all the details and more!

https://martialartsalbany.sites.zenplanner.com/calendar.cfm
To ensure the safety of all students, we have revised our group class schedule to reduce the time of classes each day and to ensure there is a break between the classes. This is to minimize any potential overlap/contact among students and allow time for necessary clean-up between classes.
Classes will be offered in 2 different types:
1.Classes offered On Site w/ Online option (ex. Tai Chi) .
2. Classes On Site (ex. Kungfu, Tai Chi, Sanda Kickboxing, and Combatives).
Please note onsite classes require registration and have a 12-14 person maximum. Classes on ZOOM do not require registration and there is no capacity limit.
For ZOOM classes Tai Chi sign in information will remain the same:

Wushu Strikers
When people hear the word Wushu- they usually think of the pork dish from their favorite local Chinese restaurant. For martial artists, Wushu might conjure up images of martial artists flipping across the mats, performing incredible (albeit at times dance like) solo routines。This is actually a division within sport Wushu known at Taolu (Forms). However, most people, martial artists included, won’t think the incredibly powerful and practical combat division of sport Wushu, known as Sanda (Freestyle Kickboxing). While Wushu Sanda is not widely known in the MMA world in the west, it does have a huge presence in the Asian based MAA organizations. Check out some of the incredible wushu fighters in ONE!
Yang Style Tai Chi Short Documentary
I never tire of hearing someone knowledgeable speak about Tai Chi. It might be specifics, generalities, but Tai Chi is just fascinating. Its not only relaxing to practice, its even relaxing to watch or hear someone speak about it. Here’s a little talk about Yang Style Tai Chi. Enjoy!
Summary
Lastly, we thank you in advance for your cooperation as we travel these uncharted territories together. Stay tuned for updates as things develop. We will continue to make adjustments as the situation allows and as our students provide feedback. As a small business, we appreciate your support and understanding during this time.
Best-
