As we prepare to restart dojo activities, our first priority is keeping our dojo members safe. To that end, we are adopting many of Hombu dojo's guidelines for resuming practice:
• If you or someone you live with is sick, do not come to the dojo.
• All particiants must be healthy to practice. Temperature checks will be performed upon entering. If you have a fever or are coughing, you will not be permitted in the dojo.
• All participants must wear a mask and maintain social distancing at all times. For now, practice will involve no contact. Please refrain from unnecessary conversations in the dojo or outside of the entrance to support social distancing. When lining up for class, please leave at least 6 feet between yourself and other participants. Class sizes will be limited to ensure we can maintain proper social distancing.
• Immediately upon entering the dojo, and before and after class, please wash or sanitize your hands thoroughly.
• Since the state closed the dojo in mid-March and is allowing us to reopen in mid-June, dues paid for March will cover the rest of June.
• All touched surfaces will be cleaned thoroughly after each class.
• Please only attend one class per day, and verify we have your current contact information.
• For now, please do not stay to watch class without prior approval.
• While we are working hard to prevent COVID-19 infection, in the unlikely event infection occurs, we cannot be held responsible and require that you take responsibility for your care and wellbeing. You take class at your own risk. Please obtain consent from your loved ones before resuming class.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us by sending us a message here or call/text 717-745-5660. If there are additional measures that would make you more comfortable to come to class, please let us know.
As things continue to change, we will update these guidelines.
