From the 31st of August, Scottish Government guidance states that gyms and sports facilities can open their doors to welcome the public once more. This is great news as we have pre-tests, tests and seminars just around the corner. This will be a new experience for everyone and we will be testing the water tentatively.
At YHGinverness, students are welcomed back on Tuesday the 1st of September. We will continue to run classes every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 6pm until such a time that we feel we can add more to the timetable. There will be a few changes to the regular routine which we have outlined below.
Before You Train
It is crucial that you remain at home if you:
• Have been in contact with someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
• Have been overseas or exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
• Have COVID-19 symptoms (self-isolate for 7 days) or are feeling unwell.
• Have been told to self-isolate as part of the contact tracing measures in place.
Physical Distancing & Hygiene
• Refrain from handshakes and high fives. The traditional sun and moon bow should suffice.
• Keep 2 metres away from other people at all times.
• Do not share food, towels, and drinks.
• Clean your hands weapons and equipment frequently.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes and dispose of any used tissue in your own bag and take it home with you. Wash your hands for 20 seconds or sanitise afterwards.
• Bring a bottle of sanitiser for your own personal use.
• Avoid touching your face.
Booking Process

• New students, or students returning after a hiatus, must now join our waiting list by contacting Sifu Hepple. We will be in touch in due course when there is an opportunity for you to attend classes safely.

Procedures At The School
• Arrive in good time.
• Please sanitise your hands upon entry and wait in the changing area for the class to begin.
• Sifu Hepple will direct you to your training station for the duration of the class.
• Stations should be sanitised by students before and after each class. Any weapons or equipment must be sanitised in the same way.
After Class Advice
• Once training has finished leave promptly and maintain physical distancing.
• Hands should be washed and/or sanitised as soon as possible.
• Ensure personal kit and equipment is cleaned thoroughly after use.
