Dear Students- Welcome to another exciting installment of The CMAA monthly newsletter!
CMAA Anniversary! Two years ago The Chinese Martial Arts Academy became the successor to The Capital District Tai Chi and Kungfu Association. It was with a great sense of honor that I accepted this responsibility and made a promise to carry on its traditions.
In two incredibly short years, we have more than tripled the number of classes, tripled the number of students and moved to a home that we can all call our own. We have done all this while carrying on the tradition of our predecessor in offering the highest quality instruction and fostering a warm, friendly environment full of positive energy.
We have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. With the best intentions, hard work and the involvement of a lot of wonderful people CMAA has done great things and will surely do more in the future! Thanks for your support!
Sash Test All I can say is “WOW”. I am so proud of your progress!
The way you trained, organized yourselves, and performed on Sunday was VERY IMPRESSIVE.
Keep up the hard work! Congrats on your sash advancements!
You should be hugely proud of our progress as a team, and equally proud of your progress as martial artists! Congratulations!

Friends of Martial Artists
We train together, encourage each other and talk with each other. A group of parents would now like to take it one step further and form a committee committed to working towards a common goal: the wellbeing of our family members. They would like to bring even more to an already outstanding community.
The focus of the Friends of Martial Artists committee is broad and not fully developed, but they like to find ways of assisting members with the cost of uniforms, weapons, tuition, etc. as needs arise. Because they want this to represent everyone in the school, they are inviting you to become part of this venture. If you have any experience or interest in nonprofits, business, charity or just want to learn more about this group please consider joining them for their first meeting and becoming an active member of the Friends of Martial Artists!
Date: Saturday, June 15th at 4:00p at The Chinese martial Arts Academy.
