Bletchley Dragons outdoor training sessions

In line with the lifting of government restrictions and following the advice from our governing body, WAKO GB, I'm pleased to announce that we will be running outdoor sessions from Monday 29th March 2021. 

I've put together the information below, but if I have missed anything and you have questions, please get in touch! 

Days/times: 

Classes will be held on Sundays at 4pm, Mondays at 6pm and Thursdays at 6pm.

All classes will be 1:30 duration (any younger students who are not able to complete a full class, you are welcome to leave early).

Location: 

We will be using the sports field in Browns Wood, less than 4 miles from Bletchley, and have agreement from the Milton Keynes Council to use the space behind the cycle track. There is free  public parking available. Please note, there are no toilets available.

The address is off Elgar Grove, Browns Wood, Milton Keynes, MK7 8DX. 

Clothing:

As the field may be damp/wet and weather a little unpredictable please do not wear your normal ECKA training gi instead please wear tracksuits/joggers/PE kit clothing.

Sun protection:

We will be training outside, so please wear sun protection! We will allow sunglasses and sensible headwear when sunny.

Adverse weather:

If the field or weather is wet, we will have to resort to an online session. We will inform you one hour before the scheduled start date if this is the case.

Social distancing:

We MUST adhere to WAKO guidelines, so therefore will be sticking to 2m social distancing.

We will have cones spread out accordingly to indicate where everyone will be located during the class.

Partner work:

Partner work will be restricted to remote one-step sparring, or shadow boxing. We cannot breach the 2m rule, so no padwork or sparring at the moment.
