Hello friends, colleagues and students!
The time has come to start classes again! The Mayor and Governor have given the ok for outdoor group classes to resume, as long as distance is maintained and masks are worn. Please see this link for more information on the county guidelines, and click on “gyms and fitness centers” to see specifics on group classes.
Our schedule will be roughly the same as it was before the lockdown. Our first class will be on Saturday June 13.
Saturday 8am - Qi Gong
Saturday 9:30am - Taiji with Bill and Spear with Allison
Saturday 10:30 - Weapons
Tuesday and Thursday 10am - Taiji
Wednesday 6pm - Taiji
Wednesday 7pm - Advanced forms
All classes will take place at Morley Field, which is at the end of Texas Street. This link will show you the location - we will be on the strip of grass that parallels Upas Street. You can park in the parking lot by the tennis club. We advise locking your car, and you can bring a chair and something to drink if you like. There are bathrooms nearby.
*** You will need to wear a mask the entire time, and if you are sick or have a fever, cough or shortness of breath, please do not come to class. Please bring your own hand sanitizer and use it frequently. Bring your own weapons to the weapons class; we will not have any available to share. You will need to maintain physical distance at all times, and there will not be hands on corrections. If at any time within the week following a class, you begin to feel sick, please let us know so that we can inform the others, and we will ask that you self quarantine.
We will not be doing any indoor classes for the summer.
In the meantime, we have continued to make short instructional videos for you, reminders and tips for your practice, and hope that you find these helpful. The link for these videos is https://vimeo.com/user23185306 All of these videos are free to use and share.
See you soon!
Allison and Bill Helm
