ZOOM online training timetable - 23rd March to 28th March
Greetings all!We hope everyone is keeping well and following the Government's advice with regards to social distancing and looking after one another in these strange and unsettling times.As I'm sure many of you will know we offered two ZOOM online karate classes last Friday evening free of charge. The interest was quite overwhelming and we had plenty of students and Instructors taking part. It was fantastic to do karate again after such a challenging week and it was even better just to see all your lovely faces. Over 130 Red Tigers trained over the two sessions and this was unbelievable!We proved that you don't need to be in the dojo to do karate! You just need a little bit of space, a laptop - smartphone or tablet and a 'CAN DO' attitude! We may decide to get a little creative with the sessions so have your cushions/tennis balls, chairs etc. at the ready for future sessions.The feedback has been very positive and uplifting. Thank you all for your kind comments. We cannot take the credit for an idea 'borrowed' from Tim Griffiths Sensei 5th Dan from Bristol Karate Club. We have him to thank for sure as well as the JKS Senior Instructors who shared their ideas and offered some valuable encouragement on Wednesday evening.As we all adjust to our new temporary reality, we as a Club firmly believe that this is the way forward. We are embracing the technology available to us and keeping everyone kicking and punching until we can kick and punch each other again!!!!It was hard work, most had a good sweat on and above all it was very enjoyable.There were a few technical issues (especially in the first session) but as we gain more experience delivering online classes, we promise to improve!Below is some of the ways that people followed along with our session. A lot of people managed to 'cast' their phone to their SMART TV so they could see Paul Sensei and follow his instructions easily.
So from Monday 23rd March and over the next few weeks - your Red Tiger Karate Instructors will be coming to your living room/kitchen/garden/conservatory or whatever space you have via the ZOOM online app! It really is so easy and I am happy to offer help for anyone struggling to find the app or get involved.
