We are open again on the 1st September.
There will be some procedures that need to be adhered to so that we can ensure
that we stay open.
These procedures must be adhered to to ensure we stay open.
Please respect the safety of your club mates and their families.
If a person shows a blatant disregard for the safety of others or continuously
doesn't follow the procedures they will not be allowed to train.
APPROACHING THE DOJO
1. Remain social distanced
2. Wear a mask when entering the building, this may be removed when training
if you wish.
ENTERING THE DOJO
1. Remain social distanced
Only 30 people allowed in the dojo at any one time, so parents/guardians/carers
must stay outside the dojo.
2. Your temperature will be taken using a remote infra red temperature tester,
if you are over the fever threshold you will not be allowed to train on that
day.
3. Students will be registered into the dojo by one of the instructors so
no need to sign in, this reduces the risk of transmission by people handling
the same pen and paper.
4. Fees will be handed into a container, only exact change can be used in
order to avoid transmission by people taking change 'from the pot'. Block
payments for a full week or month can be made if needed to avoid needing change,
or payment can be made by bank transfer with prior arrangement.
5. Remain social distanced while you find a space, while
in the dojo even if you are of the same household please social distance as
others may not be aware that you are brothers and sisters and may then think
the procedures have relaxed and so causing confusion. The only exception to
this is for very young children that are training alongside parents and need
close support.
There may be 2 or 3 lines of students.
6. While training all kiais will be muted to avoid transmission of moisture
from one person to another.
LEAVING THE DOJO
1. Remain social distanced. Be patient, Do Not Rush to get
out. Consider wearing a mask.
2. The class may finish 5 minutes early to ensure there is no cross contamination
with another class that may be entering.
3. There will be a one way system to avoid cross contamination with another
class coming in.
4. Once home consider washing/showering/washing feet.
TBA-There may be additional procedures set out by the gym organisation.

We knew that it was coming. Hopefully the club will be back up and running
when this emergency is over.
However this is a fantastic opportunity to practice your syllabus and don't
forget that kata was invented to allow people to practice techniques while
on their own.
During the Japanese occupation of Okinawa kata became an extremely important way of practicing karate techniques in secret while rules were in place that stopped the Okinawans from practicing martial arts. Now with self and social isolation it's the perfect time to practice your karate and work on any parts that you need to.

You can find your syllabus on this page. Grades/Belts syllabus.
It may be an idea to do your practice at the same time as the club training times.
Remember karate is like boiling water, it cools down when you take the energy away.
