CMAA School Closings
CMAA will be closed for Memorial Day Weekend from Friday the 28th through Monday 31st, re-opening June 1. 

Shifu will be traveling to visit his Grandmother who will be 98 years old in August (having not seen her in over one year due to COVID).  Please take this weekend to honor Memorial Day and spend time with your loved ones!

May 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 16 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:

FSK NORTH Kyokushin Karate at CMAA!
Morning: Tues and Thurs 11-11:45am
Evening: Tues 6-6:50pm, Weds 6:15-7:30pm, and Thurs 6-6:50pm

This class series will begin 6/23 with Fighting Spirit Karate's Owner & founder, Shihan Sean Schenker coming to CMAA for FREE introductory IN-PERSON seminar-session.

Known as “The Strongest Karate”, Kyokushin Karate (極真) is a style of stand-up fighting. "Kyokushin" is Japanese for "The Ultimate Truth". It is rooted in a philosophy of self-improvement, discipline, and hard training. Kyokushin Karate offers a powerful combination of tradition and sport. It draws on tradition in its techniques and emphasis on spiritual development but uses full contact sport fighting as its vehicle. While Kyokushin is known for its power, and practicality, not everyone who pursues training in Kyokushin Karate need be a competitive fighter. This style of martial arts can be practiced by anyone and will benefit anyone who dedicates themselves to it as a means of self-mastery!

This class is geared toward Teens and Adult (ages 12+). No experience is required. Typically, one of each the AM and PM classes week will be taught by a senior instructor of Fighting Spirit Karate (live or via ZOOM), with Shifu on the floor leading. All other classes will be led by Shifu reviewing the modes, techniques and lessons outlined by FSK Black Belts previously in the week leading up. Our bridging with Fighting Spirit Karate will give access to incredibly passionate and knowledgeable instructors, a phenomenal community of Kyokushin practitioners and many training & tournament and event opportunities!

These classes will be offered at $99/month for non CMAA members and just $45/month for current members enrolled in other programs. We recommend participants have MMA style gloves (boxing gloves are acceptable), and shin guards. For those interested in sparring other protective equipment is encouraged. Note: Kyokushin style uniforms can also be ordered and purchased from Shihan Sean at FSK.

Important Class Schedule Update
(Class Cancelations for Kungfu, Kids Kickboxing and Tai Chi!)

As excited I am to announce the beginning of our new Kyokushin Karate program, I do regret to make another announcement regarding the cancellation of several classes. 

Due to limited attendance we will be suspending our Tuesday 6pm Kids Kickboxing class, Weds evening 6:15pm evening Tai Chi classes and our Thursday 6pm Kungfu class.  These classes will run through 6/13, with the new schedule taking effect on Tuesday 6/22. 

Should there be concern about your membership regarding this class cancelation, please contact me (Lucas) via phone (518) 755-7512 or email (AlbanyCMAA@gmail.com )to discuss. 

Judo Club 

This group meets Friday mornings at 7am.  We are led by two National Judo champions.  The instruction is very technical but we always have time for Randori at the end of class for those who are interested.  All levels are welcome.  Membership dues are $40/month for CMAA members.

JKD
Bruce Lee’s art was named “Jet Kune Do”. The Way of the Intercepting Fist. Check out this demonstration of what that can mean. Profound in its simplicity.  Classes are held on Weds and Saturday.  You don’t want to miss out!
