Based on updated government guidelines we will be reopening beginning the 6th August but while we are eager to return to the training we know, at first it will be a bit different.
The key points are as follows:
We ask that members arrive changed into their keikogi as changing rooms will be unavailable for general use. Hakama can still be put on and taken off at the dojo.
Hand sanitiser is provided at multiple locations, on entry at street level, on entry to the main dojo and in the mat area.
Classes will be non contact at present in observation of social distancing guidelines.
Up to date contact details of all returning members must be provided for government track and trace procedures.
There will be a more intensive cleaning routine after class that will involve disinfection of the mat and all touch points, please make time for this after class.
We would like to request that all members pay a monthly membership via bank transfer or using contactless card payments.
The dojo will be operating on a reduced timetable with two sets of classes, one on Monday/Thursday the other Tuesday/Friday in order to reduce the possibility of contamination between classes we would ask that students select their preferred set for the time being.
We will do our best to keep pace with the government guidelines as they change and update members accordingly.
