Newsletter Mar 2021 Posted on 02-24-2021

As we #surge into our Spring 2021 season, we will have a number of changes happening in the school. The biggest and most noticeable change will be our mat layout. After the announcement of possible changes to allow more students into each class (still exceeding the MN mandates for covid-19), we took over a week to collect feedback from our current students and parents. All feedback given was positive and delivered with smiles (behind masks or via Zoom) at the prospect of getting closer to our previous class sizes. Everybody has done a wonderful job following distancing and masking guidelines this year, and we are slowly getting closer to a "normal" procedure after a year of restrictions.

Beginning Spring Season, these guidelines will be followed. We realize many of you have difficulties with masks during classes. We encourage you to try using a face shield in class or join us via Zoom instead of not participating.

  • Each class is limited to 18 students
  • Students are distanced about 10 feet (current mandate is 6 feet)
  • No partner work except with family members
  • All students must wear a face covering (mask or face shield)

We have set up a student payment page on our website so that invoices are able to be paid online in a more efficient manner. When an invoice is due, you should get an email from kicksite with a link to the payment page. You can also find a link for the page in Band.

Vintage t-shirts include anything with Range Martial Arts or Range Martial Arts East printed on them.


Students and parents: Don't forget to get into the appropriate BAND for the program(s) you are part of. This is our preferred way to stay in touch with instructors, get important announcements, and even share pictures from class and events. It is where you will learn when classes have been canceled due to bad weather or road conditions! If you are having trouble getting in, talk with an instructor.
