  • Additionally on Saturday, November 23, the Tai Chi class will start at 10am.

  • We'd also like to remind everyone that the WMAA Fall National Tournament registration is open. The event starts at noon at 8101 Ridge Boulevard on Saturday, November 23. Pre-registration entitles you to a $15 discount over day-of registration – even if you elect to pay day-of!

  • All other classes are scheduled as normal

Finally, we regret to announce that the Monday Afternoon After School Classes are canceled for the remainder of the semester. We will re-evaluate the schedule as the Spring semester approaches. The Monday Tai Chi and Shuai Jiao classes remain as scheduled.
