Ishinryu Dojo training – May 2021 update
Ishinryu Dojo training resumed in the UK from May 17. This is in line with EKF permission and Government guidelines. For more detail please see the EKF update at https://www.englishkaratefederation.com/covid-update
Covid remains a risk, and we must continue to operate a health check for all students and instructors on arrival at the Dojo. You will be required to book your attendance and you will need to sign-in at the Dojo for track and trace. Social distancing will apply within the Dojo and all training will remain non-contact. The guidelines are pretty much as they were during opening in September and October 2020. If in any doubt, please refer to your club instructor or the guidelines published by the EKF.
The following clubs have already opened.
- Monday 17 May – Woodlane
- Tuesday 18 May – Rayleigh
- Saturday 22nd May – Cranham
- Tuesday 25th May – The Hombu
Some clubs may continue to run some on-line training using Zoom (for example). Please see individual club websites and their Facebook groups for details, or contact your instructor.
If you have any specific Covid related questions please contact our Ishinryu Covid Officer, Sensei Alan Poole. Alan is our single point of EKF contact on all Covid issues going forward. You can reach Alan at at alan@ishinryu.org

Upcoming Ishinryu Events
Please check here, and on our Facebook groups, for the status of events later this year. Ishinryu will continue to follow Government and EKF guidelines in regard to holding events.
2021 Event Timetable
We hope to hold events in 2021 including a One Day course and Pre-grading courses. The Summer Course will not be held in 2021.
We will delay the scheduling of any events until we are confident that we can hold them. This depends on lock-down and prevailing Government and EKF rules.
Please watch this site and the related Facebook groups for updates.
See our Ishinryu group on Facebook for more detail and regular updates on events.
