We will be restarting karate at Nicholas Hawksmoor Primary School on Wednesday October 7th, 4.30pm to 5.15pm, within the current Covid-19 government guidelines.
Direct debit payments will restart from October.

Parents dropping their children to class will not be permitted to stay, if they need to they must wait outside. Spectators to martial arts classes are not allowed under COVID guidelines. Classes will have entry and exit at the side doors of the main hall. A hand cleaning station at the door where all persons entering and exiting the class area can sanitise their hands.

We will be keeping all classes to 45 minutes allowing time for cleaning between and after classes and to maintain social distancing. There will be no entry from those attending the next class until all those in the previous class have left.

There will be no changing room facilities so you need to come ready dressed in karate Gi, belt and wearing soft soled trainers or sports shoes.
Please limit what you bring into the class. No sparring or equipment be used at this time, also no attendance books to be brought, an attendance list will be kept for each lesson.

All students need to text
Brian 07737 034354 prior to each lesson if they wish to attend in order to avoid exceeding maximum numbers allowed.

Following today’s announcement this is what we have been advised. As far as we understand the new measures do not affect karate classes.
Adult indoor team sport at grassroots level, like basketball or five a side football, is no longer exempt from the rule of six.
This does not apply to children or other indoor grassroots sports.
Gym classes and other indoor and outdoor sports will be able to continue, providing they adhere to the government’s Covid secure guidance that they had to meet to reopen this summer.
Cheers
Brian

5.30 to 6.15pm brown to black belts

Any Tiny Tigers currently training on a Tuesday can continue to do so in the 4.30pm Tuesday class or go to the Tiny Tiger class on a Monday also at 4.30pm.

All classes with Covid martial arts guidelines in place. No equipment, no attendance cards to be brought and all students must arrive dressed in karate Gi, belt and trainers/sports shoes. No spectators will be allowed at the hall or in the foyer it will be drop off and collect.

Please confirm by text your attendance before each lesson.
