October Amazing – November here we come!
What an exciting month it has been at Manteca Martial Arts. For the month of October we saw fantastic growth in our attendance. Old students returning and new students excited to get started on their martial arts journey. So much so, that we where able to open additional classes. As we continue to adhere to cdc guide lines, adjust our program to ensure the safety and well being of our students, the positive feed back has been heart warming. Our pre coved students are getting back on track with their material extremely fast, while they also regain their flexibility and cardio with the constant exercise. Being able to participate in the mat chats to encourage that so needed social interaction has worked out fabulously. Keeping their 8′ distance but still talking to each other and experiencing that so needed body language has been a privilege to see. This months weapon is the Jo, one of my personal favorites. Very self defense applicable and fun to learn. Can’t wait to see everyone on the mat. Tiny Tiger and Warrior parents, don’t forget to mark your calendar for November 18th, parent participation day.
