School Layout

As part of our measures, we have reorganized the School training areas in order to accommodate the safety protocols recommended by Local, State and Federal authorities.

Please review the following floor plans carefully before attending your reserved classes.

Before Entering the School Building

1. Please put on a mask. You will be expected to wear a mask within the building.
2. Parents must drop and go.
3. Only enter the school if you are a student and are prepared to take a class. During this period of time, we cannot allow non-students, including parents and friends to stay inside the school premises.
4. When possible, wear your workout clothes to the school. We must limit the changing areas to one person at a time.
5. Enter via the stairs closest to the mailbox.
6. Limit the use of the stairs to one person at a time.

Before Class Begins

1. Listen carefully to your Instructor who will explain how the class will proceed and where you should stand while waiting for your instruction.
2. If you wish to stretch before class, please do so only within a marked area identified for such purpose. During this time period we cannot allow students to touch the stretching bars, the striking bags, or the wooden dummy. Please observe this rule strictly.
3. Please remember that only one person is allowed in the changing area and only one person is allowed in the bathroom at any time. Please knock before entering either room and do not enter if someone else is in the room.

During Class

1. Confine your movements to the marked area you have been assigned. As we start out, we will try to focus you on doing the movements for accuracy and smoothly at a pace using less speed than normal. This is to enable you to train more comfortably while wearing a mask.
2. Your instructor will tell you when and if you can perform the techniques with full speed and will assign you a special marked off spot for this purpose for a limited period of time.
3. Minimize conversations during class and generally while in the building. No physical contact of any sort is permitted between people within the school.
4. Do not remove your mask unless you have the permission of the instructor and the instructor has directed to a remote area that can be easily sanitized to protect everyone else.
5. Because of social distancing, we cannot train with sparring drills that bring people closer than six feet together. No exceptions please.

After Class

1. Exit via the back stairs.
2. All children must be picked up at the door by a parent or designated adult.
3. We will endeavor to quickly clean the most commonly used portions of the school between classes and will undertake a more extensive cleaning at the end of each day. Please do not linger in the school after class and we need to move quickly to prepare for the next class or the next day.
4. Make sure that you quickly gather up any water bottles or other items you have brought into the school. Once you leave, it might not be possible to re-enter if the school is full to capacity.
