To insure the ongoing health and safety of our students, the Academy will be adhering to safety measures outlined by the CDC and DOH (Department of Health) as follows:
-
Wellness and temperature checks for the instructors and students
-
Face coverings must be worn while in the dojang.
-
Enhanced cleaning of high-contact areas (handles, doorknobs, floor mats, equipment, etc.)
-
Enforcing social distancing
-
Frequent hand washing/sanitizing
-
Monitor public health indicators, and adjust orders and restrictions as necessary
Please carefully read these General Policies and Procedures as well as the class-specific Policies and Procedures that follow. Students who fail to comply with all of these procedures/policies will not be allowed to participate.
General Policies and Procedures (applicable to all classes):
-
All instructors/students must wear face covering while in the dojang. Instructors and students must bring their own mask, WSAMA will not provide masks.

All instructors/students must sign a COVID-19 liability waiver. Click here to download waiver.

-
Temperatures will be checked at the door. No one with an elevated temperature will be allowed to enter the dojang.
-
To help with social distancing, we have a max occupancy. To help us stay under this maximum number, only instructors and participating students should be in the dojang during class. Anyone not involved in the class must wait outside. This includes parents as well as students arriving for the next class.
-
Students should leave promptly after their class to help with social distancing.
-
No partner skills/drills such as fighting techniques, hapkido, judo, and sparring, will be practiced unless it’s with a household member, preferably also a student.

Until further notice, no sparring classes will be offered. Classes that were previously sparring, will be regular martial arts classes.

All classes will end 5 minutes early to allow for the cleaning of the equipment
