::STUDIO UPDATE::
We would like to share some information about how Sword Class NYC will be operating as the COVID-19 situation evolves. We are closely monitoring the evolving public health situation and we will be making daily decisions as to the status of upcoming classes at the studio. Each weekday by 3 PM, we will announce whether or not classes will be happening that evening. We’ll let you know about Saturdays and Sundays the night before.Also, keep an eye on www.swordclassnyc.com/schedule, our app, or the MindBody app, which will always have the most up to date information. Also, please sign up ahead of time if you are planning to come to class so we can make sure you’re notified if the schedule changes.
Along those lines, all classes are cancelled tomorrow, Sunday 3/15.
Our instructors are working hard on some new class formatting to make training safer for everyone. We’ll discuss historical research, watch and analyze videos, learn about gear maintenance, and other areas of martial arts study that we don’t always have time to cover. We’re very excited at the opportunity to cover these often-neglected topics!
If anyone knows how important distance is, it’s us! Practice will either be solo or done outside of fighting distance. You won’t be doing any contact drilling and instructors won’t be making physical adjustments, only offering verbal corrections. We have reduced the maximum capacity of our classes to promote social distancing. We are also asking students to wash their hands before and after each class and our staff will continue to do extra cleaning and disinfecting throughout the day, including cleaning the training floor and all equipment after every class.
We are committed to providing our students and our community a safe training environment, and we thank you all for your understanding and support!
