Now that we’ve progressed through the 1st phase of re-opening back up, this article is regarding the details of moving forward into our 2nd phase of our plan! We will still be following the same schedule, but with extended hours for the adult classes. We will still be following the same sanitizing guidelines! The only thing that will change for our 2nd phase is that we will progress forward into partner drilling. Keeping inline with our social distancing of course! Here’s how that is all going to work for at least the next month!

  • We will still continue the check in process! (I’m working on a more efficient method)
  • We will still continue to take temperatures!
  • We will still continue the requirement of spraying yourselves down before and after class with your post training spray!
  • We will still continue to sanitize the bathrooms and mats after every class with bleach!
  • We will still continue the requirement of no cross training at other academies!
  • For the partner work, you will be placed in groups of 4! You will only be allowed to partner up with one of 3 other people! Originally it was just one, however, I understand that not everyone has the same schedule, so I’m giving you the opportunity to partner with others while still keeping the groups small!
  • We will still practice social distancing by keeping the groups separate!
  • As per the City of Tempe and AZ State Mandate, you must have your masks on at all times in the Academy unless you are coaching or training. Use of mask during training is optional!

I hope this all makes sense. Below is an update to our schedule and further details moving forward!

TRAINING DETAILS, SCHEDULE, AND MORE!

PHASE 2 WILL BE STARING AND PARTICIPATING IN ALL CLASSES! WHAT TO EXPECT…

1. EVERY PERSON ENTERING THE ACADEMY HAS A NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE FOR EVERY CLASS HE OR SHE ENTERS!

  • THE PERSON TAKING THE TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE WEARING A MASK AS THEY WILL BE IN CLOSE PHYSICAL PROXIMITY
  • AVOID TIGHTLY SPACED LINEUPS WHILE TAKING THE TEMPERATURE
  • A FOREHEAD (TEMPORAL) OR ORAL THERMOMETER MAY BE USED (A FOREHEAD THERMOMETER IS BETTER DUE TO NO CONTACT)
  • NORMAL TEMPERATURE WILL BE DEFINED AS LESS THAN 37.6 °C (LESS THAN 99.3 °F). NOTE THAT FEVER IS NORMALLY DEFINED AS A TEMPERATURE GREATER THAN 38 °C (100.4 °F), BUT IT SEEMS LOGICAL TO HAVE A LOWER TEMPERATURE FOR BJJ GIVEN THAT THE NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND A FOREHEAD THERMOMETER SCANNER USUALLY READS 0.5 TO 1°F (0.3 TO 0.6°C) LOWER THAN AN ORAL TEMPERATURE,WHICH IS WHAT THRESHOLDS FOR FEVER ARE USUALLY BASED ON.

2. EACH PERSON ENTERING THE GYM MUST CONFIRM THE FOLLOWING CHECKLIST ITEMS BEFORE ENTERING THE ACADEMY: (USE THE FOLLOWING LINK TO CHECK IN PRIOR TO CLASS TO HELP SPEED UP AND STREAMLINE THE PROCESS! HTTPS://FORMS.GLE/CCXZBN7QNKBXCPCT7)
