Reopening for Classes Announcement
We are really pleased to announce that East West Martial Arts will re-open for classes on Monday 17 August for all current members paying by Direct Debit only.
We respectfully ask that once we reopen for classes, that everyone works together to keep East West Martial Arts and its members Safe. If at any time you feel unwell, have a high temperature, a new continuous cough or loss of or change in your normal sense of taste or smell, please do not attend the Academy, but seek medical advice.
We’ve made some changes so that we can reopen and our members can once again enjoy our fantastic martial arts classes with additional safety measures in place. We’ve also further increased our already exemplary cleaning and disinfecting regimes which are combined with regular deep-cleaning.
On entering, we may check your skin temperature with a no-contact infrared thermometer and this needs to be between 36.5 to 37.5 degrees, which is the normal temperature range of the human body . If this is exceeded, you will be asked to wait for 10 minutes and then re-checked. unfortunately, you will be denied entry if your temperature reading exceeds the upper limit for a second time. we ask that you please respect our team if they ask you to refrain from entering the school and support us in being compliant with the new guidelines.
To comply with the Government guidelines for being Covid-19 Safe, the following conditions will apply:
1. All Students will return on a once-per-week programme as class sizes will be reduced to a maximum of 15 students on the training floor at this time to comply with the current 2 metre social distancing safety guidelines.
2. There will be a some small changes to our class timetable for the start and finish times of each lesson, which will take into account our new social distancing plans to ensure there are no bottlenecks and cross-overs in corridors. There will be a one-way in and one-way-out system in operation, therefore there will be no chairs available. This will be subject to continuous review, as we learn what pressures the school faces over the coming weeks and months.
