Following the cancellation of the Chichibu Gasshuku, it is with great regret that Aunkai Honbu has decided to cancel also our planned 2020-03-20 Tokyo Open Seminar.
We have made this decision in consideration of the health and safety of
the participants and the greater community in response to the coronavirus
outbreak.

The coronavirus (Covid-19) situation is continuing, and public health  concerns mandate against public gatherings wherever possible.

It is with great regret that Aunkai Honbu has decided to cancel our

The Chichibu Gasshuku had been planned to run from April 11-15, 2020.
However, the coronavirus (Covid-19) situation is continuing, and
public health  concerns mandate against public gatherings wherever
possible, as well as flights to and from Asia.

As members know, Aunkai practice consists of both solo practice and regular class training sessions and interaction under the direction of Akuzawa sensei. However, in light of the rapidly-developing new coronavirus situation both in Japan and worldwide, we will enact a few new policies to ensure proper hygiene etiquette across our activities.

1. If you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms (cough, fever, body aches, etc.) we ask that you refrain from attending class until you have fully recovered.
2. All members should practice good hygiene etiquette, including washing or disinfecting your hands regularly, with particular emphasis on before and after workouts.
3. Members are obliged to wear masks during training.

Additionally, we may adjust the format of our workouts to accommodate hygiene considerations.

Activities such as the Tokyo open seminar planned for 20th March, and Chichibu gasshuku planned for April, have also been cancelled, and notices to that effect published.

Please note that we will continually monitor the situation and may revise these policies, and update information appropriately.
