CDC Mask Announcement (May 13, 2021)

As of 13 May the CDC has declared that it is now safe for fully vaccinated people to go maskless indoors and outdoors.  We are very excited about this news and eager to implement it as soon as possible, just like you!  However, we must wait for Governor Hogan to life the state-wide mask mandate before we can official do so.  Please be patient, we anticipate this announcement will be made very soon.  In the meantime, all staff members, visitors and participants must continue to wear masks at all times while inside the building.

PREVENTIVE HEALTH MEASURES

Beginning Friday June 19th, all students, guests, and staff must wear a mask or facial covering at all times while not in class or in common areas (bleachers, front entryway, office, etc.) and at any time when 6 feet of social distancing may not be possible. Hand sanitizer will be provided at the front entry, and common touch points will be eliminated or disinfected continuously. Mats and equipment will be disinfected after each class. Students are strongly encouraged to wash hands when arriving for class and at the conclusion of class. As always, we expect our students, staff, and visitors to refrain from entering the school if feverish or ill.

CLASS SCHEDULES & RESERVATIONS

For the immediate future, it will be mandatory to reserve your space in both indoor and outdoor classes so that we can adhere to the occupancy limits if or when mandated by the state and to ensure we do not create a situation where social distancing is not possible. To schedule your class, please view the MEMBERS ONLY WEB PORTAL located HERE. You must have a reservation to be admitted into class.

Here are a few suggestions that we have to keep safe and to remain engaged in your martial arts and fitness training.

STAY HOME  BUT STAY ACTIVE

Our communities health is our #1 priority, but activating your body and mind will help you get through these troubling times.

STAYING OUT OF THE GYM = MENTAL TRAINING

Exercise your brain, watch technique videos, perform mental reps, write out your game plan. Injuries don't stop the resilient and nor should this! Check out our live streams on our BMAA FB Page and on Instagram (@gft_maryland) that are planned for weeknight evenings. BMAA will be hosting guest instructors to teach and discuss techniques and strategies for both children and adults to stay fit and engaged while at home during this crisis.
