Duncan's Martial Arts is happy to annouce that we have returned to in person training!!

Your health and safety are very important to us. As a result we have set up some policies and procedures for our students and their families to follow while training with us.

• Families are asked to drop off and pick up students from classes. We have very limited capacity in order to maintain social distancing. You are welcome to wait in your cars during classes.
• Students must come to class dressed in their uniforms. Changing in the locker rooms or bathrooms are not permitted at this time.
• Students should enter through the front doors and will exit through the rear doors to help maintain social distancing between classes.
• Students are welcome to wear masts while training.
• All students will be training with an 8 ft. distance between students. Family members in the same class may be allowed to train at closer distances.
• Students must bring their own water bottles. You may not share unless you are in the same family.
• Bathrooms will be cleaned hourly to maintain a healthy environment.
• At this time, all classes will be 45 minutes in length to allow for our staff to clean the space and maintain social distancing between participants attending classes.

We are so excited to continue your training in person but understand some may not be comfortable returning to in-person training at this time. Please contact Professor Duncan to discuss any concerns you may have and discuss membership arrangments.
