SAFETY FIRST

Please follow all the health and safety guidelines we advise for a live class:

  • Training Space: We assume that your workout space is limited; a 2 x 2 metre square will suffice.
  • Clear Obstacles: Please ensure that you or your child’s training space is safe and clear of any hazards, including pets and other family members.
  • Set Your Pace: Train at a pace that makes sense for your state of health and fitness. If you are new to kung-fu, please go gradually and listen to your body. Kung-fu provides tremendous benefits, both physical and mental, but it is important to move patiently and progressively.
  • Take Needed Breaks: If you are feeling unwell, take a break.
  • Medical Issues: If you have underlying medical issues, please be mindful. (For instance, if you have asthma, keep an inhaler nearby.)

Uniforms & Equipment

  • Please do wear the same uniform required for in-person training. (A uniform is not required during your trial period.)
  • We continue to offer kung-fu uniforms and equipment from our kung-fu equipment store via curbside delivery. To arrange your order and pickup, please contact us.

How to Join Online

  • Our classes take place on Zoom.
    All you need is Internet access, video and sound.
  • Classes can be streamed from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
  • Install the Zoom App or simply click on the link provided.
  • For a more interactive experience, you are welcome to turn on your camera so your classmates will see you. However, allowing others to see you is not a requirement.
  • You will see the class being taught and other participants who choose to turn on their cameras.

Best Practices for Online Kung-Fu Classes

  • Username: To help us to record attendance and give you a more personal experience, please ensure that the username of the student taking the class is correct. For families who share an account/hardware, please update the name at the start of each class.
  • Camera Angle: Stances are fundamental to our curriculum, so your instructor will prefer to see you from head to toe. Please attempt to set up your camera so that we can see all of you.
  • Lighting: Good lighting helps us to see you clearly. Light from the front or above works better than backlighting.
  • Muting & Unmuting: We encourage you to interact with us; please ensure you know how to unmute easily.
  • Video-Sharing: Although it is not necessary to take the class, we strongly encourage you to share your video for the most interactive experience.

Having this class for my son is his only source of real extra-curricular activity and, as a single parent in a one-child home, I cannot begin to describe how important this is and how much I value your efforts to keep this going. So much appreciation!!!

Our whole family has been training here in some form or other for 10 years. The pivot to online classes has been handled so well, with excellent communication, investment in technology and availability of instructors and classes. So impressed at all the work that has gone into that! Not to mention the engaging online/social media community that already existed pre-pandemic, but has been strengthened and improved over the last year.

For our high-risk and virtually-schooling family, Zoom Kung Fu has been such a gift. The kids are still getting two classes a week, and before lockdown, we booked an extra, semi-private class once a week for two kids and one adult, enabling us to return to the kwoon, but limit our exposure risks. The bigger kids were even able to do their gradings in a safe, distanced manner this summer and fall.

I’d like to say how happy we’ve been with how you’ve all been handling classes since covid started. I know it has been hard work, but having kung-fu on a regular basis—even when it was just online—provided our daughter with a welcome consistent routine when the outbreak was throwing the rest of our lives into unpredictable chaos. With school and other lessons cancelled, Kung-fu became the one thing she could look forward to every week.

We’ve also been happy with the way you opened back up to in-person classes. You communicated all the health measures you were putting in place clearly and reassured us that you, as individuals and as a business, were taking the outbreak seriously. It’s the reason why we felt comfortable sending her back for lessons.

I know it’s been a big change for you all. We think you’ve been doing a great job and your hard work is very appreciated!

Both my husband and I really appreciate the effort you and your family and employees all put in during all these stages of quarantine.

It could not have been easy to revamp all your established teaching methods to an online platform. Your efforts to keep the kids learning and engaged were appreciated. It was obvious to me how much heart and thought you put into making all the different zoom classes, and I could see how you tried to pay attention to each kid online.

I feel that your current plans for in-person classes are very reasonable and logical, and I’m comfortable with how you’ve been managing the reopening of the academy. I think the kids are all very lucky to have a dedicated teacher like you.

Our son has felt quite good about attending classes in person, which I’m really pleased about. Overall, he’s been cautious about going out and wanting to avoid exposure to the virus. However, you’re running things in a way that is helping him feel comfortable.

I’ve been so impressed by how you have navigated this very difficult season. You are modelling perseverance, adaptability, care, and excellent communication. It is a great example to students and parents alike.
