Further to recent BTC guidelines, we have attempted to clarify the situation as far as is possible.

The “Return to Play” document for Tae Kwon-do has now been approved by the DCMS (Department of Culture Media and Sport) and Sport England, subject to a couple of minor changes, which we expect to be completed very soon. Until then we are recommending all TAGB Instructors implement Phase 0 and complete the associated risk assessments and work involved.

1. A summary of what is permissible under Phase 0 from now until May 17th 2021.

TAE KWON-DO RETURN TO TRAINING – PHASE 0

No Contact Training

RETURN TO TRAINING GUIDANCE

Phase 0 of the roadmap, guides clubs through the initial administrative and logistical process for reopening a club following an extended lockdown.

Under the government’s assessment of virus controls and the easing of lockdown rules, combat sport-based clubs are allowed to open, once they had completed the necessary Covid-19 assessment, implementation plans and communication that demonstrates they are ready to do so.

Phase 0 for Tae Kwon-Do permits clubs to return within the following basic principles:

Summary of Training indoors permitted with:

➢ Exercise Class format only

➢ Full 2m social distancing guidance in place between people from different households
➢ No contact permitted between people from different households

➢ No handheld equipment use permitted between people from different households 

➢ Stringent hygiene measures for all participants and people attending sessions

➢ Stringent cleaning measures for all free standing / hanging and shared equipment

PHASE TRANSITION

Transition from one phase to the next will only take place when it is prudent to do so and when governments and agencies announce transition dates.

To assist Tae Kwon-Do clubs with phase transition, simple additional risk assessment and implementation plan sections have been created, to be added to the existing risk assessment and implementation plan templates.

This should enable clubs to efficiently update their existing Covid-19 risk assessments and implementation plans.

This gives clubs and coaches a clear understanding of the additional measures and action required when moving from phase to phase without onerous and confusing administration.

This will also give Instructors a chance to inform ALL students prior to the transition from one phase to another.

This has to be done BEFORE the new phase can be implemented (this can be via website, newsletter or social media page etc)
