Class updates

Hello Parents, school has started and the kids are still home 2 or 3 days a week.
We will still have daytime classes but also online classes to give them a physical activity and connection to Tae Kwon Do. We purposely keep those classes small.

The main school is open for business and we can work something out if you are willing to train there.

But we could do online class just for a certain branch if needed.
I realize some kids may be come burnt out with on-line schooling. We will try to make it work in whatever space they have .
This link will take you to the signup page. We do are doing our best to do social distancing during class. So that limits class size to 15 plus instructor. But with all the different classes available only a couple of classes get completely filled. ( Wed Brown/Black class)

Also check the MAA website www.martialartsamerica.net and www.facebook.com/martialartsamericaia .

To help with social distancing we are asking you to bring water with you and if you can come dressed that will help also.

I added a black/brown belt online class on Thursdays at 6:15. We will have this class for the next 2 weeks for now.

Thank you
Mr Sledge
