New website coming up
We are sloowly building our own website. The makiwara project (see last post) will of course take precedence, so don't expect the website to be ready anytime soon. Here is a preview.
Makiwara coming up
Since there are no trees around the dojo, we are planning to plant a makiwara on the side lawn by this summer. Grant has got his whipper snipper out and given the grass a good chop. Next step: choosing the wood, and in what shape. We do plenty of shoulder strikes, so the default plank-shaped board may need a rethink. If you got any suggestion, let us know.
WARNING: NO Tuesday classes.
We now only train on Thursday from the week starting 8 Nov until further notice.
Blood Policy: Anyone who is bleeding must immediately leave the mats and dress the wound. That person may not come back onto the mats until the bleeding has stopped and there is no blood upon them.
Any blood on the mats must immediately be removed and the mats cleaned. Gloves should be worn, the blood should be carefully mopped up with paper towel and the mats should be cleaned with a bleach solution containing 5.25% sodium hypochlorite and dried with a paper towel. Gloves and paper towels must be placed in a sealed plastic bag for disposal.
If blood spills onto a person that person should wash the area of contact thoroughly with soap and warm water. If blood has contacted a person's mouth or eyes they should be rinsed very well with water.
