ALL students are welcome at any class whether you have been training on ZOOM or not. If you have taken a break you will be welcomed back with open arms. We would be delighted to see you.The EKF have confirmed we will be able to train barefoot which is great. Unfortunately, spectators are still not permitted to attend.Discussion is ongoing about when we will be allowed to reduce the social distancing/use shared equipment and spar. It is all heading in the right direction though and we cannot wait to welcome you all back through the doors and see all your lovely faces again.
