Creative Fundraising at CMAA

Just as our students have started a new academic school year, we at Charlotte Martial Arts Academy have kicked off the newest Black Belt Cycle.

Did you know that part of the program is raising funds to support a cause in the community and contribute to the CMAA Booster Club’s scholarships and equipment funds? Keep this in mind when you see the posters around the front desk announcing upcoming events.

This month, the Black Belt Cyclers are offering to sew karate patches onto uniforms for $3 each. They’ve also continued the Rent-a-Cycler campaign during which you can get a Black Belt candidate to do odd jobs such as yard work or wash your car!

Plus, a Parents’ Night Out planned for Sept 10 from 6 – 10 p.m. Students are asked to bring their own dinner for a night of games and a movie — $20 per participant.

Our September calendar is out: A reminder that we’re closed for the Labor Day weekend, with the exception of Fitness Kickboxing classes Saturday at 830 a.m. and Monday 9 a.m. and 6:45 p.m.

In October, CMAA will be offering a Pilates Mat course for four consecutive Sundays beginning Oct. 2. For $40, you can join us for an hour of fundamentals on the mats.
