Ashtabula Dojo Re-Opening Procedures
We want you to be safe so the new protocols and procedures for how the class will run until it is safer to return to normal class functions. I want to let those that are not comfortable yet coming back to class I understand and will keep your memberships on hold until you do come back to class. This means your class fee will be prorated depending on when you return. Those coming back on June 16th you are paid up through the month of June and payments will not be due until the first class in July. Also no new members will be allowed to join the class until the first week of July as we determine the proper space we will have and if we need to add additional class times to accommodate new members.
There will be hand sanitizer available as well as the dojo will be cleaned between classes as in accordance with CDC guidelines.
Okay, now how this is going to work. (This may be changed some before the 16th but I will let you know.)

- If you feel sick or have been sick please do not come to class.
- Please come dressed in at least your Gi pants as it is recommended that you not change clothes at the dojo.
- Students must wear a mask to protect others. It must cover both mouth and nose.
- There will be no spectators allowed. I know this might be tough for some parents.
- Prior to entering the dojo you will have your temperature taken.
- When you enter the dojo there will be social distancing marks on the floor. Please only family members at each mark.
- As people move in you may move up.
- There will be separate locations for each student to leave their shoes
- There will also be a location for you to put your belongings such as your notebook and water.
- You will each have a ring assigned to you. This will be only for you. We may line up in a different order than usual because of this. You may not be lined up by belt rank.
- You are to maintain social distancing and so some of what we normally have done will be put on hold until we can return to completely normal.
- Try to use the rest room before you come to class.
- Students will have a scheduled dismissal with a couple of minutes between each student or family of students. Parents should be meeting their children outside the dojo at the prescribed time. I will be getting the time charts soon so that time will be known. I know this may be an inconvenience but it is to limit exposure
