These have been strange and trying times for everyone - families, businesses and community groups. Thanks to the efforts of the Prospect Lake District Community Association board, we were given a reprieve from our rental commitments over the Spring and Summer and we were allowed to use the parking lot for non-contact training and conditioning exercise sessions.

Classes in the Hall resumed in September 2021 with new protocols in place.

For those who met up in the Hall parking lot over the last two summers or took advantage of our online sessions, our classes continued in a similar non-contact style in the short-term. As of February 2022 we are able to open up to a regular style of training.

Class Protocols

Island Aikido is making every effort to adhere to guidelines set by local health authorities.

• If you feel sick in any way, please do not come to class.
• Everyone attending our classes must be fully vaccinated. This applies to anyone watching as well as those training.
• Face masks are optional but recommended when inside the Hall.
• On arrival at the dojo, use the hand sanitizer provided.
• Class tuition will accommodate students who prefer to maintain safe physical distancing. Everyone must respect the space of others in the dojo at all times: before, during and after each class.
• Instructors will respect a student's wishes to limit training with others when practising techniques.
• Mats are periodically wiped clean after training sessions, and all participants are expected to assist. Cleaning materials are provided.
