Clear Lake Iaido started up indoor classes this month at our usual yoga studio location. Class start times have remained the same, except for Wednesday which now starts at 8:45 PM to avoid the prior yoga class letting out.
Everyone, including visitors, is required to wear a mask and maintain 6’ or greater (~2 katana lengths) distance.
A large part of our training consists of solo waza, so we are able to practice our system much as we did before the pandemic.
