COVID SAFE MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING – PORTSMOUTH
On 15th August we ran a test martial arts lesson to ensure our covid safe ninjutsu training works.
All worked well, the students in the test class were all pushed and found the material exciting, challenging and safe.
Students feedback below
Sebastian Phillips – Awesome training. Really impressed with how well thought out everything was. Far getter job of teaching while social distancing than any secondary school Ive seen!
Chris People – Brilliant work Andrew Thomas and team. I know it was a tonne of effort and planning but looking fantastic.
Will be contacting all adults directly to restart covid safe training.
Just remember we can only have 5 students plus me in a class at one time. Look out for my messages as I will be arranging class’s in groups of 5 imminently.
