Chief Instructor:        

Assisting Instructors:

Following a series of virtual camps will be held Saturday, February 12th, 2022.   As always, but especially important during these unprecedented times, our goal is to develop character and build friendships through strenuous training. All classes will be held virtually through the Zoom online video platform.  

**CLOSED** Please PRE-REGISTER (with payment) by Friday, January 28th, 2022

CLASS SCHEDULE: To optimize instruction and your zoom training experience we will divide classes by rank. Students will be able to participate in up to three classes each taught by a different senior instructor and at least once by Takahashi-sensei. Classes will be 75 min long with Q&A built in.  We are announcing the tentative schedule (subject to change) below based on anticipated numbers. You will receive a finalized camp schedule and Zoom links to your specific classes no later than two days before camp. Please reserve the entire day for camp in case of schedule changes.

Class Etiquette and Zoom Expectations:

• Participants will be muted by default
• Participants will be allowed unmute for questions at the instructor's discretion
• Chat will be disabled by default
• We ask that participants modify their zoom display name to this format:  “ FIRST NAME Dojo ”
• Please angle your camera to show from at least your knees to head  

Zoom Support:

• We recommend joining classes via computer with webcam, but please join however you can
• Please check which version of Zoom you have in advance and update to the newest version
• Because all participants will be muted, “Speaker View” will optimize your view of the instructor, especially on smaller devices.  For those with larger screens or who enjoy a feeling of training together, “Gallery View” will also work.  Finally, going “Full Screen” can maximize your view.
