Buddies without Boundaries Community Fun Walk
California Martial Arts Academy will be participating in the 1st Annual Ladera Ranch “Buddies Without Boundaries” 3k Fun Walk on November 7th, 2009. “Despite hard economic times, we are doing are best to support the local community and helping anyway we can”, says Kingston Heng, Sr. Chief Instructor of California Martial Arts in Ladera Ranch.
To help with the fundraiser, CMA has donated several gift certificates to be auctioned off at the carnival followed immediately after the 3k fun walk. In addition, we’ve been training the students of California Martial Arts in the Chinese traditional dragon dance. Learning dragon dancing is a way to learn about Chinese culture and the history behind the custom.

Hopefully our dragon will spread good fortune and luck to the community during the Fun Walk.

Espanol at CMA
California Martial Arts Academy partners with Yak Academy to offer secondary languages to the community and their students. We've kicked off the program with a spanish class being held at our Ladera Ranch training facility. The classes cater more to kids in hopes they can learn a second language easier at a younger age. The class that is currently available is for 6-8 year olds.
Future plans include possibly having a mandarin class offered right before our Tiny Tigers class and transform our Tiny Tigers class into a practice environment for martial arts, self-control, and mandarin!

Tai Chi for Health and Rehab
If you've had the pleasure of trying a taichi class at the California Martial Arts Academy located in Irvine, CA, you'll understand what I'm talking about. With so many taichi instructors teaching at parks, houses, community centers, it's hard to distinguish if what you're doing is correct. Just take note, if you're mobility is not improving after taking your taichi class, something may be wrong. Tai Chi instruction at CMA will teach you how to move (correctly). Some of our students re drenched with sweat after a class of 8 pieces of brocade and other tai chi exercises.
WebMD just posted an article on the effects of Tai Chi and Arthritis Pain. http://arthritis.webmd.com/news/20090604/tai-chi-may-ease-arthritis-pain?src=RSS_PUBLIC.
The tai chi classes here at CMA are offered twice a week. You'll focus on Yang style tai chi and 8 pieces of brocade. A great alternative to breaking a sweat, increasing stability and flexibility for someone that is looking for something slower paced.

CMA Headquarters gets mats
We at California Martial Arts always emphasis safety. We make sure our students our moving right, stretching right, and practicing right. Pre-evaluations are always done to ensure the safety and readiness of our students. That's why we've decided to lay down mats in our HQ in Irvine. This is great especially for children learning martial arts for the first time. In case they trip or lose their balance, they'll have a nice matted floor to "catch" them.
