Beginner Tai Chi Class
CMAA is happy to announce we will be continuing our 8 week beginner Tai Chi class on Wednesday morning from 9-9:45am. This class will focus on gentle movements that introduce new practitioners to fundamental Tai Chi movements and concepts.
Upon completion of our 8 week intro course, students may choose to either transition to our regular Tai Chi classes offered at various times throughout the week (Tues/Thurs/Sat 9am or Wednesday evening), or re-enroll in the 8 week program and continue to focus on just the essentials. Please call/text (518-755-7512) to register if you are interested. The cost is $67.50/month.
Sash Test
Students must arrive on time and be in full uniform to participate. Students who arrive late or out of uniform will be required to complete a makeup test.
We will be holding our quarterly Sash Test on Sunday, April 7th at 10:30am. If you are not sash testing you are still encouraged to come participate and support your teammates (no charge of course).
You know exactly what we will be testing but if you have any questions, check the Sash Requirements page on the website and feel free to clarify things with me during class.
If you are unsure whether or not you (or your child) are ready to test, please speak with me before or during class, via email at AlbanyCMAA@gmail.com or by phone (518) 755-7512.
Remember, you will not “get” your sash at CMAA – you will EARN it! There is a big difference. It’s important you (your child) learns the value of their sash- the value of hard work! Let’s stay focused and step up our training so we’re fully prepared for the test!
White/Yellow/Green/Blue: $35
Red/Purple/Orange: $55
Light Brown/Dark Brown/Gold: $75
Black: $100

History of Tai Chi
Enjoy!
Benefits of Learning Tai Chi
T ai chi, which uses slow and gentle movements, may seem like yet another exercise fad. But the practice began as a martial art in China hundreds of years ago, and its health benefits have been the focus of more than 500 studies in the last half-century.
“It’s really more like moving meditation, and almost anyone at any age can do it,” says a longtime tai chi teacher, Bill Helm, director of the Taoist Sanctuary in San Diego. Here, how tai chi can help you.
Funny Kungfu Performance
