Fall Semester 2010

Students, Family Members, Friends,

Our Fall Semester is almost here. We've already had a bunch of sign-ups last week and this. Many new students are joining us for the Fall Semester and we're psyched to see this. It is an exciting and rejuvenating time for us after such a long recession. We apologize for the delay in getting information to you but we've been very busy this summer with camps and classes. Here's what is coming this semester:

In addition to our fully scheduled classes in Tai Chi, Praying Mantis Kung Fu, Fit-Kick, Kid's Kung Fu & Kids Anti-Bully programs; this fall we're excited to bring you some new events, as well as some old favorites. To highlight,

• Our popular Women's Self-Defense Course coming in October.
• We're hosting our first ever 'In-House Tournament' this October, for students to try their hand at competing in a friendly environment, and families to get a chance to see what everyone is working on. This is a great time for the school to come together for such an amazing event!
• We're also excited to have a Nutritionist Workshop in September on 'Eating for Performance' - how to eat right to get more out of your body for exercise and life in general. Eric Reardon is bringing his experience as a Certified Nutritionist to Plum Blossom Academy, to assist students and family members in getting the right information about what to eat. I have been working with Eric for a few months and have seen remarkable improvements. Eric will also be returning over the winter for another workshop on 'Eating for Weight Loss' - so you can throw away all those fad diets that don't work!
• Additionally, we're hosting our Annual Fall Retreat again this year over Columbus Day Weekend. Plan ahead as this is a great time to get away and do some fun training with your peers in the outdoors. Families are welcome as always. We're still in the process of getting the location of the retreat, and will announce this as soon as we have it.
• Graduation at the end of the semester will be a big event. We'll be bringing back the Lion Dance, and Demonstrations as part of this important event as well as some possible workshops to make the day even better.

We hope everyone is having a great summer and we look forward to seeing all of you for the fall semester!
