Master Robert Robertson, founder and Head instructor at RawTaekwondo Scotland, and has been practicing for over 30 years. Robert found his passion for Taekwondo when his father took him along to a local class that his cousins attended. The next week he joined and the rest is history. His passion for Taekwondo encouraged his family to get involved, when his father joined, followed by his two sisters, and finally his little brother. As Master Robertson says “it’s in the family”.

3. Taekwondo classes will use the same exit but allow a 10 min buffer at the start and end of each class to reduce build-up of traffic in communal area’s/drop-off zones.
4. When dropping children off, parents and children over 12 are advised to comply with current rules regarding wearing of masks, i.e. if entering a building this should be worn. There is no requirement to wear a mask during class activity. (We ask that parents/carers observing Tots class wear a face covering/ maintain a social distance while in the hall)
5. Sanitising stations have been be made available at both entry and exit point, as well as within the gym area.
6. Instructors will have a gap period between classes in order to allow the class to exit safely and to sanitise any equipment prior to the arrival of the next class.
7. We are required to keep a ‘track and trace’ log of all students / parents / carers entering the facility. This will include Date & Time of attendance as well as relevant contact information. This information will be kept and stored for 21 days.
8. It is advised that where possible parents / carers should drop children off to class at the main entrance and return to collect them at the appropriate time. This is to avoid any build-up of people in the hallway.
9. Please note our lounge will be closed until further notice.
