We have no doubt been following the news of the spreading COVID-19, particularly in relation to how various small business are ensuring the safety of their guests and staff. With that in mind we would like to update everyone on the status of our school, classes and upcoming events.

Cutting Edge Kempo Karate maintains the highest of sanitary standards throughout our training area, and we have taken extra measures to ensure that our students and parents are not at risk to contract COVID-19. This includes strictly following the directions provided from the World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC, as well as reviewing and reinforcing our safety and sanitation procedures with all staff and members.

The entire school is cleaned and sanitized every day before our classes begin. The training mat is mopped and all targets and training equipment are sterilized every day. Throughout our open hours, staff members will be sanitizing all doorknobs, desktops and other surfaces frequently touched. Our staff members are instructed to wash and sanitize their hands frequently, clean any surfaces that need disinfecting, and to stop class to send any children to go clean their hands need be as well.

Please review the following safety procedures as well:

We will be asking every student to sanitize their hands via soap and water or hand sanitizer upon entering and leaving the school.

We ask any students and parents who are not feeling well to stay home until they have fully recovered.

We will be reviewing personal hygiene habits in our classes (no face-touching, lots of 20 second hand washing, covering your mouth and nose, mindful movements near other people) We will also be operating on a minimum contact basis to prevent the spread of any potential germs, focusing on the details of technique with the least amount of personal contact possible until this threat has subsided.

We will continue to keep you posted about our classes and will remain open as long as it is safe for our members. I am also setting up a live stream so I may bring our Kempo classes online so that our students can join in on classes from the comfort of their own home! More news about this soon, we will keep in touch.

Thank you for your continued support and efforts to keep our school safe and thriving! Looking forward to seeing you in class soon,

Shihan Nick and the CEK Staff
