COVID-19 Safety Information

At Peak Martial Arts Academy, we are committed to the safety of all our students, parents, and instructors.

Temperature Checks & Hand Washing

All students will have their temperature taken at the entrance with a no-touch forehead thermometer before they are allowed to attend their lesson. Students with a fever will be asked to leave, as will any students with a noticeable and persistent cough. From there, all students will be required to wash their hands and apply hand sanitizer before starting their lesson. Students will also have the opportunity to wash their hands and/or use hand sanitizer again before leaving.

Face Masks

Colorado’s Governor Jared Polis has announced a new mask ordinance for all of Colorado, requiring that face masks be worn in all public settings. We take the health and safety of our students and parents seriously, and we also want to be sure that we are in accordance with the new requirements. All parents and students over the age of 10 will be required to wear a face mask at all times while inside the Peak facility. We understand that face masks, while helping to prevent the spread of disease, may make training more difficult for some students. To help ensure the safety and support the performance of our older students, we will be keeping our building cool and our AC fans on at all times during classes to maximize airflow. We ask that you provide your own mask if possible, but we will have some masks available at the front desk for those who may need them. Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us stay safe and stay in line with state ordinance.

Social-Distancing

We will be offering an amended schedule of 45-minute small group lessons, as well as shorter 20-minute in-person private lessons. In accordance with state mandates, classes will be limited to a maximum of 12 participants. Students and instructors are required to remain 6 feet apart at all times. We have invested in new training equipment so each student will be able to utilize their own Wavemaster punching bags.

Parents of students will also be required to remain outside. They can watch their students from any of the many windows surrounding our training floor from the side walk or from inside their cars.

Our changing room area is also closed until further notice. All students are required to to come to class in their training uniform.

Equipment Cleaning

To limit the spread of germs and the spread of the cornavirus infection, our staff will be wiping down all equipment after every use. We will also be wiping down the bathroom door handles and faucets, as well.

Online Classes and Training Resources

Online Classes & Training Videos

Students are encouraged to download and use our new Life Skill App to continue their training from home. We are honored to be a part of keeping life as normal as possible for our students during these uncertain and rapidly changing times. We will continue to release new videos that students can utilize to continue to advance their Soo Bahk Do training.The “Library” sections of the curriculum in the app will receive new content including videos on kicking and punching techniques, basic combinations, forms, and more. Additionally, students can access other class content from some of our associates, including Master Brian Corrales (Corrales Sa Bom Nim), a sixth degree Soo Bahk Do instructor from Salt Lake City, a children’s “Skillz” instructor from Florida, and other members of the Soo Bahk Do Federation.

Private Online Classes

In addition to the class videos in the app, we would like the opportunity to work with our students and families individually. We are currently offering students the opportunity to schedule a 20-minute face-to-face Zoom meeting with Mr. Mitchell and Ms. Bo Chaisin (we will pair you with your instructor).
