CMAA Re-opening!
We are excited to announce that CMAA will be resuming onsite classes beginning Monday July 6th! We are ready! Are you?
Here are the details:
Our students and their family members’ safety is and will always be our top priority. As such, we have carefully developed a set of new measures and procedures for our Kung Fu classes upon reopening of our studio to all students based on New York states reopening rules and guidelines.
Facility, Capacity, and Spacing Rules:
Per guidelines put forth by the NYS Department of Health we will limit our capacity based on available space to allow social distance with 6 feet between students during class.
· There will be a maximum of 10 students per class (class sign up will now be required).
· All excess seating will be removed from the studio. Only students will be allowed onsite during class.
· All exercise equipment including the mats will be cleaned and disinfected daily and in-between classes.
· Inside the studio, students will be placed in designated positions on the exercise mat ( i.e., alternating spaces to ensure six feet distance, and social distancing markers 6ft apart), and they will be required to stay in their designated mat during the class.
· In addition, both east and west entrance doors will remain open to ensure increased air ventilation and circulation, weather permitting. A fan will be placed in training area to assist with air flow.
- There will be no communal equipment sharing. Please note students will be required to bring their own shoes, weapons and/or sparring gear (even though we will not sparring during the month of July, students should still bring gear to wear for hitting pads).
Class Procedures
· All students must check-in upon arrival at facility.
· No more than one parent/guardian or family member will be allowed to drop off/pick up each student.
· All students and accompany family members must conduct self-assessment and will not be allowed enter the studio if they are exhibiting symptoms or have been exposed to COVID-19.
· When participating in class training, please do not arrive more than 10 minutes prior to class.
· Please do not engage in any socializing or lingering at the studio, students and accompany family members must leave the premise as soon as possible after class.
· Disinfectant and hand sanitizers will be provided to all students.
· The instructor will wear a protective mask during training. Class members are encouraged to wear masks inside the training facility.
July Class Schedule
To ensure the safety of all students, we have revised our group class schedule to reduce the number of classes each day and to ensure there is a 15 minute 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 3 different types:
1. Classes offered ONLINE (ex. Tai Chi and Kungfu )
2. Classes offered On Site w/ Online option (ex. Tai Chi) .
3. Classes On Site (ex. Kungfu, Sanda Kickboxing, and Combatives).
Please note onsite classes require registration and have a 10 person maximum. Classes on ZOOM do not require registration and there is no capacity limit.
ZOOM classes for Tai Chi and Kids Kungfu sign in information will remain the same:

Practice Tai Chi and Qigong at Home
Home practice sessions are wonderful because you can focus on exactly what you want, for the amount of time you want. In addition, because you are alone, and independent in your practice, you will be forced to remain conscious. That means you can’t simply follow or otherwise zone out and hope no one noticed. You can practice without being self conscious of onlookers and with increased awareness of your own form. You can make it a ten minute practice or an hour and ten minutes, it’s up to you. Check out some our recommendations and resources here!

Disney’s Mulan Kungfu Performance
CMAA has been asked to perform at the Colonie Center for the opening of Mulan! I think this would be a FUN event to showcase our school in. All students ranked light brown and higher are qualified to perform, all students are welcome to come watch! Stay tuned for dates as the movie’s release date has yet to be announced.
Kungfu Sash Test
To be rescheduled. Stay tuned for announcements regarding a new date.
Tai Chi Social Luncheon
Stay tuned for updates and new date once we are cleared to resume such activities! Its been wonderful to see you all in class online, and we are really looking forward to catching up more in person!
Summary
Lastly, we thank you in advance for your cooperation! I know you may feel uncertain and I know we all feel afraid but bear with us as we make this unexpected and new leap together and trust that the practice serves us well for such times. 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.
