Fitness idea: notifications to our phones/devices are called a "push." Every time you get one throughout the day, count it as a PUSH-up. Do one then or the sum of the day's disruptions as your evening workout!

One of the best things to do for your local community. Still planning on our usual July donation drive!

The Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center is currently offering online classes through this month during the shutdown. If you're not a current student and are interested in signing up for Kung Fu, Tai Chi, or Modern Arnis please contact us at 717-312-7909, through our website form, email, or Facebook to schedule a time to discuss our offerings. Thanks so much and stay safe!

Greetings from the Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center, Starting next week we will be moving class sessions temporarily to the Zoom.us web platform on a modified schedule. This schedule is subject to change and we will continually reevaluate each week as necessary. Zoom meetings can be accessed using a laptop, phone, or tablet. Our goal with this is to continue to provide the professional instruction you've become accustomed to but within the framework of our current situation. Plea...se be patient during this time as we work out the kinks. Our modified schedule is listed below. Parents, please help your child during their class sessions and we encourage your participation; it's important your child has a positive focal point in addition to what you provide daily. (Please note that for the time being our Monday kids class will be held Tuesday evenings for now, let me know if this becomes problematic.) Class Schedule for week of March 30, 2020 Tuesday Schedule: Day Class 12-1pm Kung Fu for Kids 4:45-5pm Children's 5-5:30pm Beginners 6-6:30pm Yellow & above 6:30-7:30pm Thursday Schedule: Day Class 12-1pm Children's 5-5:30pm Beginners 6-6:30pm Yellow & above 6:30-7:30pm Saturday Schedule: Tai Chi Beginners 9-9:30am Tai Chi Advanced 9:30-10:30am Arnis Class 10:45-11:30am Please check for updates regarding instructions for the class streaming sessions coming next week on Monday. Remember: stay calm, stay safe. Stay productive! Sincerely, -- Shen Shung Samuel W. Rothermel Owner and Head Instructor at the Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center (717) 312-7909 www.etownkungfu.com

Please see the Student Resources section of our website for updated training guides to help you stay on track of current topic areas. This area of the site will be updated regularly for your use in helping to develop our current "new normal" for the time being. https://www.etownkungfu.com/student-resources Stay calm, stay safe.

Effective immediately, the Pai Lum Schools of Central PA (Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, Elizabethtown, and Palmyra) will be suspending all Martial Arts, Tai Chi, and Yoga classes temporarily in accordance with the governor's statewide program mitigation measure and epidemiological science that back those measures. We will be reviewing this shutdown on a week to week basis in order to support the state mandate to suspend all non-essential activities and to slow the spread of the ...coronavirus. During the closing, our hope is for your continued training. Your training is your key to your health, well being, and a strong immune system. Your art and teachers have been your guides. You have the tools. PLEASE, PLEASE USE THEM so we can all get through this together. We will provide itineraries on the schools resource pages to continue your training. Any communications will come through email, Facebook, and the student resource page. All of the school owners will be available for contact by phone, text, and email should questions or concerns arise. As always, the safety of our students and their families is paramount to us. We look forward to reopening the schools as soon as possible to resume providing the best in martial art training for each and every one of you. -- Shen Shung Samuel W. Rothermel Owner and Head Instructor at the Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center (717) 312-7909 www.etownkungfu.com

Greetings from the Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center; At this time, we will be continuing classes as normal through the week of March 16th through the 21st. We are following health protocols and advisement from the CDC and our State agencies. In addition to this recent concern, we would like to remind families to be vigilant about the prevalence of Influenza A and B as well.... Both the influenza virus and coronavirus spread through coughing and sneezing and have similar symptoms of fever, cough, and respiratory illness. As with any respiratory virus, influenza A and B included, you can protect yourself by practicing these everyday actions: * wash hands frequently with soap and water * cover nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing * disinfect surfaces * avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms We would like to assure you that we are continuing to diligently disinfect surfaces between every class. We’d request that you: 1. Only attend class in clean and washed uniforms. 2. Wash your hands thoroughly before class (20 seconds with soap) or use hand sanitizer. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with your elbow or a tissue when coughing or sneezing. 4. Do not attend class with a cold, fever, or flu-like symptoms. Let us know if you are sick and how we can be of assistance in any way. For those of you scheduled for testing end of this week, we plan to review content during class time and hold testing as planned this Friday and Saturday. If anything changes or if you are unable to attend because of illness we will address those concerns individually. As a reminder the school is closed for spring break from March 23rd through the 28th. Again your safety is our greatest concern and we will continue to follow all protocols to keep our environment clean and safe. If you have specific questions or concerns regarding class attendance this week please reach out to me directly. Thank you, -- Shen Shung Samuel W. Rothermel Owner and Head Instructor at the Elizabethtown Kung Fu Center (717) 312-7909 www.etownkungfu.com
