How you can help:

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE ON THE MAT

The space will now be configured as 1 big mat space (rather than 10 separated mat areas). This means we will be relying on you to be responsible in identifying suitable training partners to bubble up with and to ensure you keep your distance from other groups on the mat. Truth be known, we actually think the single mat setup is safer in terms of preventing non-covid related injuries!)

TURN UP READY TO TRAIN

Turn up your training gear ready to go. We will still be doing temperature checks and sanitisation on entry but please note that we are trying to discourage changing room access and use of the toilet will only be allowed in emergencies.

BE ON TIME

Be on time (or a little early) - the hardest bit of the logistics from a covid safety perspective is managing class changeover, entry and exit. Please help us by being on time.

QUEUE, ENTER AND EXIT RESPONSIBLY

We are fine-tuning the best ways for people to enter and exit the space whilst minimising crowding and overlap. Please follow instructions from the coaches. We will likely start operating a "one way" policy where you enter the gym by the outside stairs but exit via the internal building stairs. Avoid crowding and feel free to wear a face covering whilst queuing.

HELP WITH HYGIENE & CLEANING

We will make sure hand sanitiser, disinfectant spray and mops are available mat side. Please use the sanitiser regularly. When asked to do so please help with mat cleaning, spraying and clear away.

NO SHARED EQUIPMENT

Get your own gloves, gi and equipment (we can get these for you...just ask). Make sure your equipment is clean! Note that we are not providing shared equipment as a rule.

SPECTATORS DISCOURAGED

We are discouraging spectators at the moment. We make an exception for children with severe allergies where a single parent/guardian with an epipen can accompany a child. Otherwise - unless you are training or coaching, you can't be in the room.

STAY ORGANISED

Stay organised - with your own water, shoes and equipment mat side.

PAY ON ENTRY

Please be ready to pay on entry. (Either with cash or via paypal).

STAY CONNECTED

Ensure you have registered so we have your contact details to hand and can make a judgment as to your risk group. Please join the club WhatsApp Group so we can contact you and keep you updated. You will also be asked to sign a covid-19 liability waiver.

PLEASE BARE WITH US

And most importantly - please bear with us! We will all be getting used to the new setup so it will take a while for us to get into the swing of things.

ENJOY ALL OF IT

BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Yoga... The family is back! Oss.

WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE TESTS POSITIVE?

If a positive test is confirmed (PCR as well as lateral flow) within 48 hours of a student being at a class:

• All members are notified on our club whatsapp group.

• Our space and equipment are deep cleaned.

• “Close contacts” of the impacted person will be individually notified and asked to self isolate for 10 days from initial symptom detection. They will not be admitted to class until this time has elapsed and they are symptom free.

  • “Close contact” means:

    • Face-to-face contact including being coughed on or having a face-to-face conversation within one metre

    • Been within one metre for one minute or longer without face-to-face contact

    • Been within 2 metres of someone for more than 15 minutes (either as a one-off contact, or added up together over one day)

    • So this applies to everyone who drilled/rolled with this person or had an extended conversation with them at the class in question
