York Centre Karate is working closely with Toronto Parks to reopen our programs in our usual locations. At the moment they assured us that facilities will reopen, it is just unclear when that will happen. Most likely after schools will reopen.

We will have after reopening same Karate programs (with a bit less class times to adjust for COVID-19 requirements): 1. 4 to 6 years old – 40 minutes 3 times per week; 2. 7 to 12 years old – 1 hour 3 times per week; 3. 13 and up 80 minutes 3 times per week. We are working to keep same schedule Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Herbert H. Carnegie Centennial Centre (Arena). Tentative schedule: 1. 4 to 6 years old 5.40 pm – 6.20 pm; 2. 7 to 12 years old 6.35 pm – 7.35 pm; 3. 13 and up 7.50 pm – 9.10 pm. Also for members convenience some Karate classes will be available same time virtually on Zoom (if you will not be able to come that day). High performance Karate program will be at Earl Bales CC on Thursday (1 hour training). Fitness will work on the same days as before Tuesday and Thursday in 2 groups with 20 minutes intervals between groups.

3. More use of tools for development.
4. Psychological preparation for tournament environment as it is more adrenaline reach one.
5. Best student-teacher ratio, as group in average will not be bigger than 6 students. That means more attention for individual student.
