Corona Virus COVID-19 Update 12/12/2021

Although many restrictions have been lifted, COVID-19 continues to be a risk and, in accordance with guidelines, we'll continue to be cautious. Please be prepared to have your temperature taken on arrival. Wear masks in the lobby. Wear shoes off the mat & please sanitise hands before entering the mat barefoot. Don't share equipment (bring your own sparring gear and focus mitts).
