WHAT'S NEW...
We won't be holding classes on Monday and Tuesday,
August 9th and 10th,
for a modified summer break week. Other
than those two days, we will be holding our regular class schedule throughout
August. We've added more classes, with
smaller student counts for better individual instruction. Colored stripe and Belt testings will
continue to be held during a student's regular class times. Returning students will begin where they left
off, with masks being optional for vaccinated students. Purple-belted and above
students should bring any protective sparring gear they have on "B" days (Thursdays and Fridays).
If you're planning on taking any trips over the summer and haven't yet, please send a quick E-mail letting us know so that we don't wonder where you are: terrybrule@aol.com
On June 15, Napa County aligned with California Department of Public Health and the State of California to fully reopen, removing capacity and distancing restrictions for most businesses and activities.
Children are less likely to
get sick compared to adults, as wells as contracting or spreading the virus. Masks mandates are unchanged for those that
are unvaccinated, especially at crowded, indoor public settings.

and one class after Wednesday ("B" day) for Self-defense. If you have
a son or daughter is in the Advanced youth class, then he or she
must include at least one Wednesday sparring (additional class) each
month to be eligible for advancement.
While Wednesday sparring classes can't replace Self-defense classes as far
as material, they do count towards the minimum number of classes required for
you to test, and are open to anyone who is a Green belt or higher.
Anyone may begin attending the "Teen & Adult" class upon reaching the age of 13, which is also the oldest you can be to participate in the "9 & Up" classes. The oldest you can be to attend the "Color Belt" classes is eleven (11).
