SCHEDULE
Updated: for January 2022
The dojo is opening Monday, January 17, and will be BACK ON THE NORMAL SCHEDULE with the following protocols:
* The doors and fans will be on for at least part of every class. The amount will be at the discretion of the instructor and students in any particular class. If you wish to do so, feel free to wear something warm under your gi.
* Vaccination continues to be required, and at some point, probably early March, a booster will be required to be considered vaccinated for dojo purposes. If you haven't been boosted, please consider doing that.
* We’ll upgrade our mask practices. No cloth masks. Use either a surgical mask or the N-95 type of mask. The masks we have at the dojo satisfy this requirement.
* I'm encouraging instructors to concentrate on weapons practice for at least this week.
* Anyone who has a close contact with someone who has Covid should notify us and observe a five day waiting period before returning.
* Anyone who has symptoms should test themselves.
* Anyone with a positive test should notify us, wait at least five days, and have a negative test before returning to the dojo.
* Obviously, you can choose not to come to the dojo at this time.
* Dave and Fiona's online classes will continue. If enough people want to more virtual classes, we will try to oblige. If you want this, please let me know.
