Make sure you have some room to move. We will make adaptations as needed for whatever material we are working on. Bring a spirit of creativity and adventure with you to class! Please be sure to position your device so that we can see as much of you as possible.
Our in-person classes depend heavily on who is present and how they are moving. We create the lesson plan on the spot. In anticipation of having less visibility of everyone in the video format and not being able to talk to each other as well, we have designed the schedule to focus on specific material for specific times. For example, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon, we will focus on Level I T’ai Chi material, but any T’ai Chi student may attend. From 7:00 to 7:30 we will focus on blue and green belt material, but any student who is a blue belt or higher may attend.
In addition, many of the time slots will be “rolling classes.” For example, a Junior Purple Belt has the option to train for 60 minutes from 5:00 to 6:00 or for 30 minutes from 5:30 to 6:00. If they join class at 5:30, class will already be in progress, and we will loop them in. The same is true for Kung Fu and Wednesday T’ai Chi. You are encouraged to attend any and all classes from beginning level up to your current level.
Please note that we will not be including workouts in the Kung Fu classes. We want to use this valuable time to focus on material, but can certainly give workout assignments for you to tackle on your own. We also encourage you to join us for Fit45! This is a class we offered many years ago. It starts with warm ups, teaching movements as needed, then a 15-20 minute workout, followed by yoga and stretching.
Also, once everyone is in class, the instructor will mute all students to reduce background noise and make it easier to hear. We will unmute from time to time for questions, or you can always raise your hand.
Do kung fu students wear their uniforms? Yes! We want to stay in the spirit of a regular class. Plus, your uniform knows things…
This is as new for us as it might be for you. We will try this schedule for a bit and see how it goes. Thank you all for your patience and support!
