And please remember, in the interest of the safety of our students and to minimize injury to them, we are strictly enforcing our No Gear = No Class policy regarding sparring gear during the weeks of Sparring and Self-Defense. Please understand we only have the safety of the students in mind and cannot afford to ignore or allow these rules to slip by.
The Sparring Rules and Regulations for Smith's Martial Arts Academy pertaining to safety gear states (a copy hangs on the wall in the dojhang, you may look in your Orientation booklet or you may request one from Instructor Smith before or after class):
1. ALL males MUST wear a groin protector/protective cup during Sparring and Self-Defense Week. Groin protectors are suggested for females, as well.
5. High White: Forearm Guards and Instep/Shin Guards are REQUIRED during Sparring and Self-Defense Week. Mouth pieces are suggested.
6. Yellow and Above: Forearm Guards, Instep/Shin Guards, Chest Gear and Head Gear are REQUIRED during Sparring and Self-Defense Week. Mouth pieces are suggested.
7. If a student has orthodontic braces, mouth pieces are REQUIRED.

Annual Black Belt World Festival: SMAA Closed, April 14 - 16, 2011 (Open April 18); Two major reasons to attend this event! 1. Instructor Smith will be testing for his 3rd degree black belt. 2. The festival is a LOT of FUN and VERY EDUCATIONAL! All participants enjoy and benefit so much from this event. PLEASE plan to attend! It is months away, but everyone should begin to plan now. Once Grandmaster Lee arranges the group discount rate for the hotel and release the sign-up form, I will let everyone know. 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!!!
Our NEW WEBSITE: The new smithmaa.com is working great. Please check it out! Also, Instructor Smith is still 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.
