Coronavirus (Covid-19) Update from Larry Hoover’s ATA Martial Arts
Posted: May 24, 2021
Our students and their safety have always been our number one priority.
As we navigate through these times of rapid change we will be implementing changes in our course of training. We will offer online training along with scheduled semi-private classes at the center. These semi-private classes will never be more than 4 students at a time and will allow only one parent or guardian to attend.
In keeping with the guidelines of 10 or fewer people, each student will be given the opportunity to attend one semi-private class per week. If you are interested in having your student or yourself take part in the semi-private class please email us at hooversmartialarts@midco.net with name and rank so we can begin the scheduling process.
