School Opening update

Firstly we would like to thank everyone for the support and loyalty shown over these last few weeks, two things that ALL business will be needing in the coming months in hope of returning our society back to normality, which we are all so eager for. We thank you all.

Moving forwards we hope to be able to open under adjusted measures in the next week or two after hearing the government guidance, in the meantime we endeavour to keep the video tutorials coming out to you all, including ZOOM lessons which we are currently working to get up and running from next week so we can keep our bodies strong and skills sharp for our imminent return to the dojo.

It wont be long before we have more details so please bear with it, we hope to see you all soon back on the mats! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Closure update

▪️▪️CLOSURE UPDATE▪️▪️ 

Ok guys, as you are all aware the PM has declared all gyms are to shut in an effort to force social distancing.

This is unfortunate and out of our hands, but the decision to sit and twiddle thumbs in the meantime is up to us, so with that being said, for the next week or two we will be putting out instructional videos from the WBBA dojo to keep you all ticking over while you're at home weathering the storm.

There is now more than ever the need to stay fit and healthy and we can help you achive that through the synchronicity of social media and good old Martial Arts. Videos will be full short instructionals straight from the syllabus for all grade levels to work on in all programmes.

We will be sending out emails and messages to all students with further details on the online sessions this evening.

In the meantime we ask you to be safe, keep training and look out for those who need the help, martial arts is steeped in honour and its never been a better time to show that to those around us.

We thank you all for your continued support through these very strange and precarious times. Lets stay, safe, stay sharp and crack on

All school update

Due to the Prime Ministers speech on Friday afternoon, we have taken the descion to cancel group lessons tomorrow (Sunday) so we can make a better decision about the following weeks from not only a moral standpoint but also a legal standpoint.

Please bear with us, thank you to those who have called to check if classes are on, keep that fighting attitude.

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

All school notice

An update for all students around training this week - we will still be open as normal but there's a few extra precautions we're asking all students to take -

▫️Could everyone please use the wipes/spray provided to wipe down your gloves and pads before we start the session and after we have finished.

▫️Sparring is cancelled until further notice

▫️There are various ways we'll be training over the next few weeks so if training with a partner makes you uncomfortable at the moment just let us know and we can adjust

▫️Again, if you are showing any of the symptoms please take 7 days off from training and make up any lessons you've missed. If you do take the week out please do send us a message or phone and let us know.

We are continuing to clean down all surfaces before and after everyone session to keep things as clean as possible.

Thanks again for all your understanding and we'll see you on the mats

Neil Williamson
Student & parent notice

Guys we just want to cover all bases and keep us all safe so following on from various updates on the covid-19 coronavirus we are asking that any of our students who have been to any of the countries in the past two weeks who have now brought in quarantine rules (China, Mainland Europe, USA etc) please take 7 days off from training.

We will honour any missed lessons in the following weeks so no one misses out. If we can take a few simple precautions we should be able to carry on training with no issues, that's our aim.

Thanks for your understanding

Neil Williamson
All school notice

Due to the media’s insistence on precautionary measures on the spread of Covid-19 we thought we had better address the issue to reassure you all that things are safe.

Whilst we can and will endeavour to clean down all touchable surfaces in the gym we ask that every student and parent simply do their part and ensure hands are clean, coughs are caught into tissues properly or as advised into the cuff of your elbow, not your hands.

If anybody has any symptoms that may indicate you have a cold please dont come in, any lessons missed during this time will be honoured at a later date so nobody will miss out. Any kids due to take part in grappling please take the time to shower properly as this is skin to skin contact.

Thanks guys, we'll see you on the mats
