The majority of you can train with your usual Instructor and we have listened to your comments and split the grade groups even further so that we can offer better tailored tuition. If your Instructor isn’t teaching a lesson for your grade group, feel free to book on with them anyway. The grade groups on Wednesdays and Fridays are just a rough guide, if you feel you want to challenge yourself to a higher grade class, go ahead and try it! Challenge yourself!Classes cost £3.00 per session per household (regardless of how many people are training). This can be paid for by BACS transfer, details are below the timetable. The challenges are all free of charge. Below is the timetable for next week:

If you are getting involved for the first time:

Then, simply log on to www.zoom.us or download the app from your smartphone or tablet. It is completely free of charge to sign up to an account and takes just a few minutes.

You can find the apps here under ‘Zoom Mobile Apps’: https://zoom.us/download

It is called ‘ZOOM cloud meetings’

I will send you a link. If you have a computer or laptop, paste the link into your browser. If you are on a mobile device, click the link and the class will open in the app.

Training:

We all wear full karate gi. The more space you have the better, we appreciate that some will have only a limited amount of room so you can just adapt your stances etc. to the space you have. Any training is better than sitting on the sofa!Also if you have a smart TV you may be able to ‘cast’ or ‘mirror’ your phone or tablet to your TV. (Not if Mum or Dad want to watch something else on the telly though!). The bigger the screen, the easier it will be to follow the Instructor.

You can arrive early to test out the app and get used to the screen. You will also be able to talk to each other but remember, everyone can hear everyone else until the class starts! The Instructor will then introduce themselves, mute the participants and begin the class.

If more than one of you are training together in the same house, you can use different devices in different rooms. For example, one on a phone, one on a tablet. You just have to sign in on both devices.

I would advise that you set up your account early and have a little practice with some of the features. You’ll also need to check how far away to put your device so you can still follow our instructions and be seen yourself. If we can only see your face, we can’t see your karate!

Do not be scared of the technology, it is all so simple and easy and if you need any help, I am here for your support.

There is a video you can watch if you follow this link that will give you an idea of what to expect.

It is something we will all have to get used to for the foreseeable future and I’m sure there might be a few technical glitches. Please stick with it, imagine a world with no karate! Now that would be a terrible thing!
