TopKick Martial Arts Leesburg

Help me hype up our very special TopKick Instructors in the comments below. It's Teacher Appreciation Week!
I'd like to personally thank each and every Instructor for your endless dedication to the growth of our students. You teach them skills that they will use far beyond the mats inside our walls (physically or virtually). It is an honor to work with such a highly skilled group of teachers. You teach with a purpose that I admire greatly.
Thank you for all you do!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Valued TopKick Members,

I hope this letter finds you well. It’s been a very challenging few months for all of us and we at TopKick have been thinking of you, hoping you are healthy and well. We are so grateful for our TopKick community and our Team 🙏

I am reaching out to share what we have learned from the Governor of Virginia, and CDC when it comes to re-opening local businesses. They are allowing businesses to begin Phase 1 reopening week of May 15th and this Phase 1 allows the re-opening of Fitness and Martial Arts studios such as ours with safety protocol in place. We are going to wait until to open our doors until after the Memorial Day Holiday weekend and we all realize there will be some strict guidelines we will all have to adhere to at TopKick for the safety of our members, team members and the overall community.

Even after we open our doors, we realize that our community members will have different preferences as to when they want to re enter on site training. Because we want to support all of our members, we will continue to have online live and on demand training as well for those who still choose to train from home during these transitions.

We are currently evaluating and planning on how we can phase back in the Martial Art classes, TKfit classes, and our Day Camps and the safety protocol and timeline for each of them.

It is important to us that we remain transparent with everything we are doing to prepare a safe reopening. We will provide more details and updates to the schedule as we are excited to be planning our comeback!

So awesome to see many of you training online and working towards your belt during graduation week. Thank you all for the support during this challenging time 🙏

🗣TopKick Launches Distance Learning and Virtual Classes to Keep All Community Members Safe During Coronavirus 👏👏👏

🥋TopKick, a group of award-winning Taekwondo-based martial arts schools with locations sprinkled throughout Loudoun County Northern Virginia, this week announced amid the coronavirus pandemic and social isolation campaigns, they are now offering distance learning and live online virtual classes for all of their present and future students, as well as the greater community members. Classes for non students in the greater community are FREE online.

In order to “flatten the curve,” the U.S. government has asked citizens and businesses to minimize congregations at this time. TopKick will be offering their usual Taekwondo learning and training classes digitally, as well as live online classes, so students can continue to practice and exercise their bodies without exposing others to any possible viral infections.

“It’s so important that we maintain some normalcy, as well as work out our bodies, during these trying times,” said John Cassidy, President of TopKick Martial Arts & Fitness. “We want to do our part to keep everyone safe and minimize the congregating of people, which is why we are proud to be offering our distance learning model.”

TopKick offers Taekwondo classes for ages 4 to adult, fitness kickboxing classes for men and women, after-school martial arts care for elementary aged school children, and summer camps for children ages 4 to 12. The group of studios is known for their commitment to each student, as well as helping every participant to explore their passion for martial arts.

“We empower human potential and spark the adventure of self-discovery,” said Cassidy. “We want to make the world a better place, and we’re not going to let shelter-in-place stop us. We are encouraging everyone to continue working with our teams right now. We are here to help!”

‼️VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE‼️

To our Dear TopKick Family,

We are very grateful for your support during these unknown and trying times. It’s been difficult, and at times heartbreaking to watch our children, friends, family and community lives being flipped upside down. Every day we are searching for the best way we can help support you while you are sheltering in place.

To support the world in fighting COVID-19, we have decided to close all our programs through 3/28/20. (Martial Arts, TKfit Fitness Kickboxing, and Fun Day Camps to support our After School Students) This is not to say that we are not working during this time, but we will close our doors through 3/28/20.

More than ever we need to invest in our physical and mental health. Fears of the unknown can quickly affect our energy levels, motivation to eat well, and prioritization of physical activity. We are here to help you find your new normal. We will maintain working full time to help you stay active, growing your mind and strengthening your body. We tested our virtual online portal for a week and have proven to be able to provide fun martial arts learning from a distance. Our hearts were filled everyday seeing families train together. We saw smiles, focus, high kicks, sweat, forms, powerful punches through our Live Training. Our members are responding positively with comments and by sharing their pics/vids in our group. Live training allows you to see our Instructors and other members' faces. This experience helps our community maintain some kind of normalcy.

❤️ Cathy posted, “ . . . I cannot express strongly enough how much it means to have a live class to “attend”. I know everyone is most excited to see the kids, but it helps us adults immeasurably too. Truly, thank you! “

❤️ Gabe posted, “Thank you so much for the class today, Masters! Hare Chase’s Level 3 and my Level 100 push-ups!”

❤️ McKay Family posted, “Thank you TopKick family for today's lesson! All 4 McKays had fun and seeing everyone and working out together definitely lifted our spirits. Stay well, everyone- sending lots of hugs and kicks!”

[03/13/20]   Dear TopKick Students and Families,

As the situation of the COVID-19 evolves, our decisions have evolved as well.

TopKick will be closed for all Martial Arts activities 3/13. If your child is in our Fun Camp today, we will maintain a 6:15pm closure. Of course, you are free to pick up any time.

Stay tuned as we will continually provide you updates.

To our dear TopKick / TKfit family members and friends,

At TopKick we are a business that recognizes there are many concerns regarding the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), a respiratory illness first identified in December in Wuhan, China. We are monitoring the situation closely and remain prepared to address any effects it has on you, our members and staff.

We are maintaining daily operations, implementing measures to reinforce and enhance our value of being a clean and safe destination for all members which include team members and community alike. As a business owner, father, husband and active member in our community with members and team members alike, all concerns brought to our attention are a priority.

TopKick Martial Arts will remain a safe haven for all our friends and families to train and stay healthy both in mind and body. All classes such as Martial Arts and TKfit Kickboxing will be open for normal schedule as of now. Our After School Pick up Program standard rule and policy is when LCPS closes, we close. That being said to support our After School Parents and families we are assessing Team Availability, Daily updates from CDC and Parents feedback to evaluate day camp offerings. Management and TopKick Franchisees have this on the forefront and are working on navigating this situation in the best way for our members and the community and we will advise of updates on openings or closures as days move forward.

Please be assured the safety of our members is our greatest concern and priority. We will consistently monitor the right information from the CDC and local authorities to do what is best for our community as it is presented to us with new changes being brought to our attention. We will take the side of preventive caution by leveling up on our janitorial services, and additionally our lead team members will have dedicated time throughout each day to be cleaning ALL the surfaces and wiping down entrances and door knobs. Our team will ask that everyone who comes in and out of our facility sanitize (at our dispensers) or wash their hands. Again, providing a clean and safe environment is not new to us, yet it will be taken to an extreme level and we proudly own that responsibility.

I have asked all Instructors and Coaches to use their art and limit contact drills at this time. That includes high-fives, fist bumps, partner drills, IPad/Kiosk checking in, etc.… That being said our Instructors are super excited to continue teaching fun classes with high energy, where you will learn something new each and every class and of course get the benefit of great exercise.

Per CDC recommendations, I ask anyone who is even remotely sick to please stay home and not come to class, thus, any classes missed due to sickness are acknowledged and get to make up.

As an extra precaution and per CDC recommendations, we would encourage our elderly to be extra careful and not attend our facility for the time being for their own well-being. The safety of our extended family; our guests and team have always been the highest importance to us. Our team will continue to closely monitor this situation through both local and national health organizations as our hearts go out to everyone currently affected by coronavirus.

TopKick strives each and every day to live with Purpose, and that Purpose is to always “empower human potential and spark the adventure of self-discovery, as we make the world a better place every day.”

My team and I are beyond grateful for the supportive community we have here at TopKick. Your support is what drives our passion for you.

With gratitude always,

John Cassidy
