Newsletter - June

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.

Dear Students and Friends,

Sash Test- Congratulations!

Congratulations to those who tested! You have all made such great progress. I was hugely impressed with your performances. Not everyone passed on the first try, though everyone has since passed in their re-tests. Although that was disappointing, I knew you had what it takes and I WILL always hold you to those expectations! Keep up the hard work - our hard work will make you and CMAA GREAT!

Next sash test will be in the first two weeks of June.

School Closings: Please note we will be close next month, May, Saturday the 18th through Weds the 22nd.

Monthly Challenge: Think about what is that inspires you and share it! Whether it’s physical, mental or spiritual - what things do you look to for inspiration? Do you look to the vibrant, bright eyed old masters, or the incredible athletic prowess and artistic display of power of the young kungfu master? Whatever it is that has inspired you, a book, film (documentary or fiction), individual or experience, let me know so I can share it with the others at CMAA! Feel free to tell me more in class or send me an email.

In the last few months these are a few short but really awesome videos I’ve seen on youtube. None are about Tai Chi or Kungfu, but they’re still so awesome to watch. If you’ve ever said or heard, “I’m too old”, “I’m too overweight”, “I’ve got bad knees”, or “I’ve got a bad back” as an excuse to not get more exercise and healthier then I dare you to watch these videos and say it again!

Newsletter - March

Newsletter March 2013 Dear Friends,

Welcome to another monthly newsletter full of important information and exciting news!

Chinese New Year Performances: WOW! CMAA worked hard to prepare for several exciting demonstrations (demo’s) and boy did we put on a show! Please see the attached photos from our performances at the Clifton Park Half Moon Library and the Egg! I may be biased, but I'm sure we were the most exciting performances at these eventsJ CMAA has been asked to do more already including an upcoming cultural Gala in June. Great job guys! If you were not involved with the demo this time, it is possible to be included in future performances. We are working hard on developing a strong martial arts demo team and will continue to evaluate students in class performance for qualification.

School Closings: Monday the 11th, Tuesday the 12th and Wednesday the 13th: All classes are canceled! (Kungfu, Tai Chi and CrossFit) Shifu will be taking a much needed vacation to visit his grandparents. Stay tuned for an upcoming interview with Grandpa Geller at age 92 on the secrets of longevity!

Kungfu Sash Test: Please note that we will be holding our quarterly Sash Test on Sunday, March 3rd at 11am.

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. http://www.martialartsalbany.com/kungfu-sash-requirements/

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: $25

Is your child a future Olympian? Wushu has been bidding for a spot in the Olympics since 2008. It’s been on the short list of 7 sports to potentially be included since then. Now that wrestling has been cut, Wushu has again risen to the top of a short list of sports to be potentially included in the 2020 Olympics!

Will Wushu Replace Wrestling in 2020 Olympic Games? http://www.isportstimes.com/articles/5816/20130212/wrestling-cut-2020-olympic-games-wushu-replace.htm

See an exciting display of wushu in the original IOC Wushu Promotional video from 2008 (event demonstrations beginning at 2:50!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsgQ6YuVYUY

As a former member of the USA National Wushu Kungfu Team, CMAA can help your child reach the elite levels required for competition. Shifu Geller has been invited to judge at the 2013 USA Team Trials (the national team’s qualifying event). From a technical perspective to all the unwritten rules and politics – Shifu Geller knows exactly what it takes to qualify. March Challenge:

Study the greats! Whether you practice Kungfu or Tai Chi, you should study the greats. Know who the “all time” best were. Not “Jackie Chan”, or “Zhang San Feng”, but the “Prince of Wushu” Yuan Wen Qing and the lineage hold of Chen style Tai Chi- Chen Xiao Wang. Watch their movements, see why they are legends, and LEARN from them! Want more? Ask Shifu who to watch. Eagle? Xu Xiangdong. Praying Mantis? Yu Hai. Bagua? Liu Hai Bo. Tiger? Yang Shiwen. There is a master of every style and each master is someone we can learn from!

Summary

As always, lots of exciting things are happening right now. Stay tuned for more great updates!

Newsletter - February

Newsletter Feb 2013

Dear Friends -

It’s that time again. Welcome to another monthly newsletter full of important information and exciting news!  I got to say it last month but now I get to say it again: Happy (Chinese) New Year!  2013 is the year of the snake!

Chinese New Year Demonstrations

The word is out- CMAA is THE school associated with authentic Chinese Martial Arts.  Not only do we have the most qualified instructors (if I don’t say so myself;), we have an impressive young performance group!  Based on our previous performances at the Egg in 2012, SUNY Albany, RPI, Clifton Park Community Center, Schenectady Gazette Parade and more we are now inundated with requests by many local organizations and groups to showcase our rising talents!

In fact, I have had to turn down most of the requests to due time and scheduling constraints.  However, we will officially be organizing two demonstrations for the Chinese New Year!

Saturday, February 2^nd Clifton Park Half Moon Library Chinese New Year Demo on February 2^nd at 2:00pm.  Performers, please note that we will be meeting at the Library at 1:30pm!  We will leave from CMAA at 1:00 pm.  You are welcome to follow and drive over together or meet there separately.  Please double check and make sure you have your shirt, pants, shoes and staff/sword!  You are not expected to wear your sash during the demo.

Saturday February 9^th The Chinese Community Center Chinese New Year Celebration at the Egg at 2:30pm.

Please enjoy a video of Dean and Shifu at last year’s demo at SUNY Albany.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-gFzyI7ibA

Class Cancelations:

Due to the times of the Chinese New Year demo’s mentioned above we will be canceling the following classes:

Sat, February 2^nd: 1:00pm 13+ Kungfu, 2:00pm CrossFit.

Saturday February 9^th: 12:00pm 8-12 Kungfu, 1:00pm 13+ Kungfu, and 2:00pm CrossFit.

Make up training times: For those interested in additional training, there will be an open/demo practice held at 4:15pm on Sunday Feb 3^rd and Feb 10th!  If you’re Kungu Class was canceled that Saturday then you are welcome to join us that following Sunday!

School closing: March 11^th, 12^th and 13^th.  Shifu will be taking a much needed vacation to visit his grandparents.  Stay tuned for an upcoming interview with Grandpa Geller at age 92 on the secrets of longevity! J

Kungfu

Kungfu basics and forms training make up a majority of our training. The warm up, flexibility training, basics practice, forms training and conditioning helps to develop all of the most important attributes of the martial artists which include power (strength, speed), flexibility, balance, coordination, and mental fortitude.

However, there is still much more to learn.  For students 13+ years old, or ranked green sash or higher we will be introducing a new element into our practice.

8pm Tues/Thurs evening classes will now include an additional 30 minutes (from 8-8:30pm) for qualified students to begin learning the most applicable techniques.  We will work a variety of kicking/punch drills on various types of padded equipment so that our students are better able to identify correct technique, accuracy, timing and application of power.  From self-defense, to self-confidence this new emphasis is sure to be an exciting and fun new element to our already awesome program!

Tai Chi:

By request, we will be addressing the Wednesday evening and Saturday morning schedule to include time for the practice of Yang Style Tai Chi basics, Yang 24, 32 Sword and the Shaolin Qi Gong form Yi Jin Jing!  For newer students to build a foundation, and for senior students to revisit the basics, our emphasis on some of the forms many of us started with will be a refreshing addition to our current course curriculum. More news to come!

February Challenge:

Virtuosity: performing the common uncommonly well.  Focus on this during your regular practice and you will learn the true meaning of Gongfu (Kungfu – Great skill acquired through hard work).  It doesn’t matter if you practice Kungfu, Tai Chi or CrossFit- focus on the basics!  The foundation isn’t just the basis for your future development, it defines your practice.  Read more here!

Monthly Challenge - February

February Challenge:

I've been talking about it for months now.  You may have heard my pizza analogy during class.  I've been really impressed with the kids ability to understand the fine points of the concept.  However, it's not just a lesson for kids or for new practitioners.  It's an ideal that anyone looking for mastery of anything needs to understand!

Virtuosity: performing the common uncommonly well.  Focus on this during your regular practice and you will learn the true meaning of Gongfu (Kungfu – Great skill acquired through hard work).  It doesn’t matter if you practice Kungfu, Tai Chi or CrossFit- focus on the basics!  The foundation isn’t just the basis for your future development, it defines your practice.

All too often Kungfu practitioners focus on the high flying jumps, Tai Ji students focus on developing powerful internal energy and CrossFit athletes look for rip hundreds of pounds of steel without properly developing the most basic techniques.  The front stretch kick and the horse stance for Kungfu students, Tai Ji walking basics and CrossFitter’s squat and deadlift form are what we learn on the first day of practice.  We are engrained with a linear learning pattern that allows us to believe that once we learn something we can progress to something more advanced.  This might take the form of a no handed cartwheel, a traditional long routine, or more complicated lift like the snatch or clean and jerk.  We forget that becoming great doesn’t mean doing more, it means doing things better – perfecting our skill.

I don’t just look at tornado kicks and shaolin monks meditating for inspiration. I see mastery in the head to toe front stretch kick, in a powerful golden rooster taiji posture and repping out air squats with perfect posture.

Remember, practice does not make perfect.  Perfect practice makes perfect.  Focus on the technical execution of “basic” skills and learn the true meaning of virtuosity.

The challenge for February is to identify the fundamental practices of your chosen discipline and concentrate on developing those key skills.  List the techniques and concentrate on bringing the ideal practice to the forefront of your consciousnesses during your training this month.  Focus on virtuosity and journey down your path towards towards mastery!

Dec. 2 - Sash Test

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!

Just one year ago we didn't have anyone sash test. We have moved to our own, new home just 3 months ago. This speaks to the infancy of our program. This is just the beginning.

You should be hugely proud of our progress as a school, and equally proud of your progress as martial artists! Congratulations!

It’s not too late to sign up!

Please sign up at the school or via email at AlbanyCMAA@gmail.com

Performances and Demo’s!

After an exciting and successful performance several months ago for the Chinese Cultural Gala CMAA has been invited to several other venues to showcase our rising talents!

Last month Price Chopper sponsored CMAA to participate in the 2012 Gazette Holiday Parade in Schenectady.

We have now been invited to perform at the Chinese School Performance, Clifton Park Halfmoon Library Chinese New Year Celebration and Chinese Community Center Chinese New Year Celebration! I am sure over the course of the next several months even more invitations will roll in (as they did last year from SUNY Albany and RPI!).

You should honored to be part of such a highly esteemed group. However, now is not the time for complacency. Now is time for preparation. Let’s get ready to show them just how hard we’ve been working. Let show them how good we are getting!

Monthly Challenge – December

Stay warm and stretch! When I first began training, I realized in the very first winter that I was always “tighter” and less flexible as the weather got colder. I began and finished my days with vigorous stretching routines, but I always felt like I couldn’t get loose. Shimu (teacher wife), Lu Yuzhi, told me to dress more warmly, and specifically, to start wearing long johns! In addition, when I injured my leg training in China my Chinese doctor in Beijing told me to keep my feet warm. For example, he told me no more going barefoot to the bathroom at night and to soak my feet in hot water every morning. For 15 years now, I’ve made morning/evening stretching and long johns/warm slippers during the winter part of my routine.

So, as the title suggests this challenge is two part. Take more time to stretch and keep warm! Personally, I dress warm at home (to the point of sweating during stretching even!) and take 5 – 20 minutes in morning with a cup of coffee, and 5 – 20 minutes at night after a warm shower to stretch everything back out! Keep it up throughout the winter and by the time the weather starts to warm up there’s a good chance your flexibility will increase dramatically!

CMAA Holiday Schedule!

Please note the following holiday class cancellations:

Monday, 25th – All classes canceled.

Tuesday, 26th- All classes canceled.

Monday, 31st – All classes canceled.
