All of these classes are open to all students but some a focus better for certain groups. Click on each day to see the video. Monday: Online class begins! Tuesday: Basic kicking and punching, and some patterns Wednesday: This is for the more advanced student, but all students are encouraged to participate. Thursday: Master Giletti leads a lesson that you can follow in your own living room, no equipment needed. Friday: We cover material from White Belt through Black Belt including drills that can be done with or without a partner. Friday Q&A: includes photos and video from you, our students! As the situation with COVID 19 continues to evolve, we are making the decision to suspend classes inside the do jang effective immediately. This is a tough decision to make but offers all of as an abundance of caution at this time, So as of Monday, 3/16 we will no longer be having classes on our regular schedule in the school. We will instead offer virtual classes on our Youtube channel beginning tomorrow (Monday 3/16). Click the link below or search for Glen Ridge TKD on YouTube to subscribe. All students regardless of rank are welcome to tune in, and we will continue to stream regularly in the coming days. Subscribe to our YouTube channel for notifications about additional classes and livestreams. Notification about outside classes will be via email, will be posted to the website at www.GlenRidgeTKD.com, and will also post on our social media (links below).
COVID-19 Update
We know that area schools are closed and for the foreseeable future we will remain open so that people can continue to take classes and have some normalcy in this unusual situation we are in. Toward that end we are doing the following: - We have put in place enhanced cleaning protocols - We will require all students to wash their hands at the school before taking class - We have eliminated hand shakes - We have eliminated drills and techniques that require students touching each other, such as self-defense. Master Meany has been in extensive discussions with other Taekwondo International school owners to continue doing best practices for managing through these events. Last but not least we kindly ask all students to stay home if you are feeling unwell. To our knowledge no students at Glen Ridge Taekwon-do have been exposed to the Corona virus but with concerns about community spread of this disease we want to reach out to students and parents.
We are listening to public health officials for guidance, and increasing our cleaning protocols at the do jang. Until such time as other actions may be required we will continue to have classes as scheduled, but are taking steps to reduce contact, such as not shaking hands, as a precaution. We encourage all students, as well as guests to make use of hand sanitizers, and disinfecting wipes that are available at the school. Per guidance from public health officials, please wash your hands for at least 20 seconds frequently, and if you are feeling unwell please stay at home. We have a promotion test scheduled for March 28 and if we are able to hold the test we will modify the format to reduce the number of people in the school at a time. Details on this are still to be determined and we will notify all students once they are available. We will keep you posted primarily by email so please check your email for class changes and test information. We will also post information to the website at https://www.glenridgetkd.com/ and on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Thank you. Master Meany and Master Giletti Tuesday, March 10, 2020 |
