October Class Schedule 
To get the most updated version of our current class schedule please visit our live calendar!

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:

Wonder of China: Wudang Tai Chi
If practicing Taiji is meditation in motion, then watching it is poetry in motion. Enjoy!

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.
