Quote of The Week
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's
character, give him power."
- Abraham Lincoln
Class Schedule Changes
CMA will now be including a 10 minute section for sparing at the end of each class. This will push back the start times of some of the later classes so that basically each class will start on the half hour.
For now this is an optional portion of class where a minimum of two sparing rounds will occur with addition drills to further develop abilities. Students must have their own set of sparing gear if they would like to participate. (In-Person Schedule)

Zoom Class Schedule Changes
In order to maximize the instructor availability in earlier classes while matching the combination, in-person and online classes, you will see some time changes to the online class schedule this week. We hope this doesn't cause an inconvenience for you and your family and look forward to seeing everyone at the new times. (Online Schedule)
Sparring Gear!!!
It's time! Time to get your sparing gear that is. If you are a 9th Gup (White belt with a black stripe) or above, then you should have your own set of sparring gear. This is a traditional requirement that was placed on hold for obvious reasons. It's time to start getting back to it. If you need to order gear, here is the order form needed. Should you have any questions, speak with you instructor, or email Giovana.

Please make note of an update to the current COVID Agreement. All CMA members will be expected to adhere to the full current agreement.
"2. I understand that vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals may have different state and local guidelines to adhere to. For this reason, should your training partner be wearing a mask, or facial covering, you will respectfully do the same. Everyone will be expected to carry a facial covering on their person regardless of vaccination status."
CMA Summer Camps!
Have a fantastic end of Summer week with us at CMA! We will be offering two weeks of camps just before schools go back into session. Kick, punch, and laugh your way to a perfect end of Summer while preparing for the daily schedule of the school year to come.

CMA will continue to monitor and follow all COVID restrictions. Should we see things open even more, there may be an opportunity for additional camp weeks and/or locations. Currently we are only planning on holding camps in the Encinitas location due to its perfect outdoor grass area and all.
After Belt Testing Check
With testing now complete, time to check in to make sure you are all set.
  1. Uniforms - are they still fitting, clean, and correctly marked with patches and trim. Our CMA seamstress is back in action and ready to help. Orange Belts and above must have patches while Green Belts and above must have a properly trimmed out uniform.
  2. Sparring Gear! - does it still fit? White belt with a black stripe is when sparring gear should be purchased.
  3. Weapons - Green belts and above, do you have the tools of your trade? Staff for Green, Nunchaku for Red...
  4. Association Memberships - Orange belts will need to get started. Senior members, are your dues up-to-date? Remember these are annual dues paid directly to the association.
Please check in with Ms. Giovana for any additional information.
~ Student Creed ~

I intend to use Tang Soo Do
to develop myself in a positive manner and
I will avoid anything that would limit or reduce my mental growth or my physical health.

I intend to develop self-discipline
in order to bring out the best
in myself and others.

I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively
to help myself and my fellow man and
I will never be abusive or offensive.
