Class resumption policy at Kodokan
04 Jun 2020
Following the nationwide lifting of the state of emergency, Kodokan reopened classes on June 1, but only partially, with hygiene rules taken into consideration.
Our first priority is to put all preventive measures in place to secure health and safety of students, instructors, and staff members, and we consider this month of June as the preparatory period to turn classes back to normal. The process may cause a lot of inconveniences to you, but your understanding and cooperation would be appreciated.
Because the situation is changing, we may take different policies. Any change will be announced on our website.
1. Practice policy
As part of measures to prevent Covid-19 infection, solo training is adopted instead of training in pairs to avoid 3Cs (closed spaces, crowded places, close-contact settings) with a security distance kept between each other.
2. Students allowed to participate in classes and requirements
・Enrolled students of beginners', women's, and children's classes.
・Those who agree with our policy and requirements for practice (In the case of minors, consent by parent is necessary.)
・Those who do not have a fever of 37℃ or higher, or any respiratory disorders such as cough and phlegm (symptoms included in the Health Checkup Card).
3. Tuition for June
Tuition is not charged in June.
4. Class timetable and dojos
5. Sanitary requirements from the lobby to the dojos
Before registering at the reception desk on the 4th floor, students fill in the Health Checkup Card.
Take body temperature on the 4th floor with a non-contact thermometer. If a high fever is detected, take it again with an underarm thermometer.
Students wash their hands, gargle, disinfect their hands at the reception desk and dojo entrance.
6. Practice
