General Information

Classes will be held in the small gymnasium of the Mackenzie Community School.

Students shall be 7 years of age or older as of 2025 December 31. The first term is from September to January and second term from February to May or June. Students should not arrive more than 10 minutes before an in-person class as there is no instructor in the dojo to supervise. Parents should ensure that the student did not return outside before driving away, especially in cold weather.

At this time there are no COVID-19 protocols affecting in-person classes.

In-Person Classes

Mondays & Thursdays
6:30-7:30 PM, ages 7-13 as of 2025 Dec. 31
7:30-9:30 PM, age 14 and up, and blue belt and up regardless of age
9:30-10:00 PM, black belt and shodan-ho continue

Participants are expected to arrive before their scheduled time. We aim to transition as quckly as possible between the classes, so it is important that students respect the planned times.

Zoom Classes

With COVID we established the ability to hold Zoom classes. On occassion, we still hold a Zoom class due to arising circumstances and needs. Details will be given at the time.

Zoom classes will make use of Breakout Rooms for focused teaching and one-with-few interactions with a sensei. To make the most of the Zoom classes students must be self-disciplined, continue to make the same effort expected in the dojo. To the extent possible, arrange the home video environment to allow a full view of the student and ideally offers area approximately 3 m wide and 3.5 m long. Larger is of course even better. In cases where there is more than one student in the household and they are different belts, separate video links is desirable, particularly for the breakout portions.
