All classes are now suspended until at least Wednesday 2^nd December. Provided the COVID-19 lockdown is then lifted as planned, we aim to restart classes from Friday 4^th December.

We’ll be in touch in a few weeks’ time to let everyone know if and when December classes are available to book online.

Until then, please stay safe!

After reviewing the latest COVID-19 guidance relating to Liverpool being placed in the Tier 3 (‘Very High’) local alert level, our understanding is that classes will be allowed to continue, but ONLY for students aged under 18.

As these new restrictions come into effect tomorrow (Wednesday 14th October), we will unfortunately need to cancel bookings for our adult students, and we will be unable to accept any new bookings from adult students. We will be contacting any adults who have already booked classes to arrange credits and/or refunds.

Junior classes will be running as usual. Senior classes will continue to run for our under-18 teenaged students.

We will keep the guidance under review and will let you know about any further updates. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Thanks, as always, for your support. Stay safe

New government guidance in effect from Monday 14th September states that gatherings of more than than six people in England will be illegal. However, organised indoor sports carried out in a COVID-secure way are exempt – which, we understand, means that we can continue to train.

We’re keeping up to date with the guidance, as well as keeping an eye on what other taekwondo clubs are doing; so we’ll let you know if anything changes.

In the meantime, please continue to distance yourselves from each other outside the club, and adhere to the requirements of our COVID-19 Implementation Plan.

Thank you.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ll be restarting taekwondo classes on Wednesday 2^nd September!

Classes will look very different from before the pandemic, so please read the updated Implementation Plan so that you know what to expect.
Some of the main changes include:

• Maximum of 8 students per class
• All activities will be non-contact and students will be distanced by 2 metres
• Classes must be booked and paid for online (first come, first served)
• Class fees will increase to £4.00 per hour
• No parents/guardians or spectators may enter the building (unfortunately, the back room will be unavailable)
• The Saturday class timetable will change to include a Junior class, Senior class, Red & Black Belt class, and an hour-long online session
• Coaches will carry out thorough cleaning of training areas and corridors/surfaces. Hand sanitiser will be available for students’ use on entry/exit
• No new students accepted until further notice.

We realise that some of these measures are not ideal, but we hope you’ll understand that it’s the best we can do at the moment. We’ll keep government guidance under review, and let you know if we’re able to ease any of the restrictions.

Classes will be available to book online in the next few weeks. Students will be sent an email alert once bookings are open. We’ll also check for expired licences and get in touch with you if you need to renew (your licence should be valid before you book a class).

We look forward to seeing you all in a few weeks’ time (we still have certificates and belts for those who did the grading way back in March!). In the meantime, try to work on your fitness and go over your patterns; it will make the shock of returning to training a little easier! 🙂

You can also continue to join us on Saturday mornings throughout August for our free Zoom sessions (check your email for details!).

Please get in touch if you have any questions. See you soon!

We are currently working on a confirmed reopening date for our classes. In the meantime, please read our COVID-19 policies, so that you know what to expect when we return. Classes will be very different from before, and we hope you’ll understand that these measures are necessary for us to comply with public health and government guidance, and to ensure a safe environment for everyone. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch.
