On June 15th we re-opened our martial arts schools and started resuming classes. We had protocols and procedures in place that adhered to a safe and clean training environment per our local guidelines. Then just 4 short weeks later it all stopped. Our county re-adjusted their guidelines for businesses revoking our previous green-light to hold indoor classes, we had less than a day to respond to our current situation!
Due to the success of our friends on the east coast, we decided to move our in-person classes to our local parks. Guess what? Between offering training in the park and continuing our Zoom classes online, our students were ready and willing to make the transition with us.
Here are seven quick tips and advice for starting your own training in the park if you have been forced to re-close. Please check with your park and recreation department, liability insurance carrier, county, and any other required agencies before making this change to ensure you’re following all required regulations and guidelines.
Pivoting to training at the park certainly has been a change, but we’ve found the more we can adapt, the more opportunities arise to continue teaching martial arts. Parks may not be a long term solution, but for now it keeps our students moving forward and active. In the meantime continue to expect the unexpected, it’s after all what makes us resilient.
