If we have enough participation, SMAA may charter a bus to attend the event instead of everyone having to drive. MORE INFOMARTION TO COME IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

SMAA After-School Care Status: Instructor Smith is still waiting on the State of Georgia approval for the after-school program. Once approved it will be offered to students at Due West and Still Elementary. If we get more interested parents for Kemp Elementary we will substitute Kemp for Still. MORE INFORMATION TO COME!!!

Please check out our NEW WEBSITE next week, November 24, 2010. Also, Instructor Smith is working on a Student Only Resource website that will contain videos of all of the poomses, one-step self defense moves, breaking techniques, etc. Instructor Smith plans to cover the entire Black Belt World curriculum in video to assist students and parents. A link to the new site will be provided once it is functioning properly.
