Welcome to our news and archives. Please note that all test results are posted for the current year, but may not appear in the archives. Full records are kept at our main office. In addition, photographs and news releases prior to 1997 are kept in our school library at our main location dating back to the 1960s.

We Have DOUBLED Your Classes!

We have exciting news to share with our students. Due to New York State changing the Covid-19 restrictions for communities, we are able to increase our total building capacity for our school. With over 6,400 square feet and three large training rooms, we are still able to maintain social distancing while increasing our total number of students in the building. Therefore, we are doubling the number of classes students may attend each week. Keep reading for full details.

WHAT'S NEW

At our instructor's class today, Grandmaster Crandall and Headmaster Stalloch announced that we are increasing our student's weekly class opportunities to TWICE per week!

All students still have an assigned class night and time. However, you may now attend a second class each week if you wish. This will be a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday option.

This means that students on Mondays may also come on Wednesday (and students on Wednesday may also come on Mondays). Students on Tuesdays may now also come on Thursdays (and students on Thursdays may also come on Tuesdays).

WHAT'S THE SAME

While we have evaluated our training space and know that we can safely socially distance students on the floor, we still have limited space in our observation areas. Therefore, at this time families are still limited to one family member to observe classes or testings.

Safety Precautions: We still require masks and hand sanitizer (or hand washing). We still conduct temperature checks. We are still using an industrial HEPA air filtration system and approved sanitation products. We are still not sharing equipment and all equipment that is used is cleaned regularly.

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES

Remember that we have special Saturday Sessions for specific age/rank groups focused a unique topic each month. This provides an additional opportunity for training, as well.

We are excited to provide more training opportunities as we continue to prioritize safety.

If you have any questions, speak with your instructor.

Keep Training!
