The BSKA wishes all of our members and their families a happy Christmas and best wishes for the new year. Hopefully we can get back to  training together in 2021 before too long. We will publish a calendar of events as soon as we are able.

The Government guidance relating to sport and physical activity can be found at Coronavirus (COVID-19): grassroots sports guidance for the public and sport providers – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

This relates to England. Our clubs in Scotland and Guernsey have their own guidelines.

Please contact your own  instructors regarding the situation in your club. Up to date information can be found on the FEKO web page and Facebook page.

Stay Safe. Train Safe

All of our member clubs in England can now open with certain restrictions and our clubs in Scotland will hopefully be opening soon. Our members in Guernsey are now able to train with no restriction. Please regularly refer to the FEKO website homepage at www.feko.co.uk to see the latest FEKO advice and requirements on training.

With the easing of Coronavirus restrictions some clubs with be starting to open. This will vary from club to club. Please contact your instructor for the latest information regarding your club.

Here is the latest advice from FEKO:

On 9 July 2020, The Government approved the opening of indoor leisure facilities and gyms from Saturday 25 July 2020.

While this is very good news, it is not a carte blanche approval for all centres to open without significant COVID secure procedures in place. FEKO members offer many different martial arts and each will need their own risk assessments and procedures. Similarly there will be differences between those centres that operate in their own premises compared to those where the provision exists in schools or in community centres etc.

It is imperative that we all follow the Government guidelines on COVID to be found at https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

Meanwhile, if you have not already done so, you should begin the process of carrying out risk assessments for your own provision

It is with great sadness that we have to report that Sensei Nanbu, The founder of Sankukai Karate and Nanbudo has sadly died. Our thoughts are with his family and close friends.
