We may still be several weeks away from being able to resume onsite classes, but we are busy behind the scenes getting the school ready 💪. Another deep cleaning of our mats with the Viper floor scrubber and hospital grade disinfectant before we reposition our dots and tape off squares to maintain social distancing.

Wednesday Wisdom: "FIRST THEY CAME" by Martin Niemöller
--
This poem has been on my mind since the murder of George Floyd. I want to speak up today and make it clear:

ALPHA MARTIAL ARTS DOES NOT, AND WILL NOT, TOLERATE RACISM.

BLACK LIVES MATTER.

AMA is committed to providing and fostering an inclusive community. We will listen and learn how to better support our Black families, friends, students and the Black community at large. We will support organizations working for equality and racial justice and provide resources for our students to do the same. We will strive to be positive role models in our words and actions as we develop martial artists with strong character and the will to stand up and stand with those in need.

“They came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.” -Martin Niemöller-

SPEAK UP.
SILENCE IS COMPLIANCE.

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” -Martin Luther King Jr.”

Happy Monday! Reminder that AMA is OPEN for virtual classes during Spring Break and we'd love to be part of your stay-at-home stay-cation 😀🥋. Keep Training!

FROM OUR HOMES TO YOURS! As of today (Wednesday 03/25) all of our live “zoom” classes will be conducted from our team’s homes to yours because of Governor Inslee’s statewide “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order.

✅ Our live “zoom” class schedule is the same as we announced on Monday.

We have also created several new web pages for students & families to access up to date content so that we aren’t continuing to fill your inbox with daily emails. Thanks for bearing with us over the last 2 weeks as we have transitioned from onsite classes to offsite classes.

It includes links to:
· Our live “zoom” class schedule
· Our archived “zoom” class recordings
· Our digital “vimeo” curriculum recordings
· Our digital at-home workout recordings
· Links to Powerful Projects
· Information about attendance, testing and more…

💥 If you are not a current student, but are interested in joining our virtual classes please comment below, send us a DM or email [email protected].

As always, thank you for being a part of our AMA community. We miss seeing you all in person, but are grateful for the technology that allows us to stay connected. Remember to reach out to family, friends, neighbors and classmates. We are all in this together and on the same team.
