Covid, rain or shine, it’s no matter! Our 2020 black belt test will go on

First class yesterday with social distancing and all

Fact check: Wearing a face mask will not cause hypoxia, hypoxemia or hypercapnia
Fact check: Wearing a face mask will not cause hypoxia, hypoxemia or hypercapnia Face masks have become controversial, resulting in misinformation. The claims that mask wearing limits oxygen and leads to CO2 poisoning aren't true.

Theatre is permanently closed, our school’s back alley is now become an overnight dwelling for some folks

“Ok now turn to the back!
No no, not that back, the back of the room - facing opposite of the camera.
Just... face your couch.”
This is a story of my life since March 16 2020.
We were ever not in an ideal and favorable position of teaching martial arts online but under this circumstances, we have stuck together in a consistent basis and got through with our heads high.
For our students, you are the best that I can ever ask for out there so it’s very true that “when people give you lemons, turn it into a lemonade”
So proud of you!
NM governor just announced phase 1 opening for the state business but not gyms, beauty salons and restaurants with restrictions of social distancing, etc and the state has mandated wearing a mask in any public places starting May 15.
Anyway, I copied and pasted this post from Century Martial Arts community as and FYI, just in case when we are allowed to open our dojo
........
FYI: You won't get CO2 poisoning from wearing a mask while training.
That difficult breathing you feel is not CO2 poisoning. Without getting too deep into the science, CO2 is too small and will pass through your masks just like oxygen does. That's why surgeons can wear them for hours without passing out. It simply doesn't happen.
You WILL experience reduced airflow and/or some resistance while breathing if your mask is working. For the inexperienced, it might feel like wearing an elevation training mask (those actually feel much worse)... and you need to adjust appropriately until you get used to it.
Masks can get moist quickly during heavy training: a blend of sweat and the extra huffing and puffing of heavy breathing. Drawing in breath through damp cloth can feel more strenuous than when it is dry. You're effectively creating a mini-sauna on the lower half of your face. Adjust appropriately.
Also, if you wear glasses, they may fog up.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China.

Thank you GM John Patrick Nieto and the Taichi students, because of your support to attending the Saturday Taichi class, today we donate over 600lbs of rice to this non-government run “Red Cross” agency in Baclieu province south VN to contribute into an automated rice distribution to those who needed during this coronavirus crisis.
Once again, thank you!
