The reopening of martial arts and combat sports gyms in Phase 2 of the Covid

The reopening of martial arts and combat sports gyms in phase 2 of Covid.

Phase 2 of the Covid has begun and it seems that for the world of combat sports we can start a recovery and restart after the mandatory closure even if with objective difficulties.

You can resume workouts in the gym from May 25 but it remains the obligation of social distance that prevents the practice of contact.

So with this reopening of gyms you can do vacuum workouts, sacks, athletic preparation, etc. but no ground-fighting or sparring contact.

It is necessary to respect scrupulous and careful provisions for the reopening of the gym:

1. Do not drink from the same bottle/bottle/glass neither in the race nor in training, always using disposable glasses or a nominal or otherwise personalized bottle, and do not exchange with the companions other objects (cask, gloves, shin guards, towels, bathrobes, etc.);
2. Avoid consuming food in the locker room;
3. Store personal items and clothing in your bags, avoiding leaving them exposed;
4. Immediately throw in containers the paper handkerchiefs, or other materials used as bandages, patches etc.
5. Wash your hands thoroughly as often as possible. They should be washed with soap and water for at least 60 seconds and then, after rinsing them profusely, dried with a disposable towel; If no soap and water is available you can use an alcohol-based disinfectant at 60 (for 40 seconds);
6. Avoid touching the faucet before and after washing your hands, but use disposable wipes for its opening and closing;
7. Equip the common rooms, changing rooms and toilets with dispensers for the disinfectant cleaning solutions;
8. Absolutely do not touch the eyes, hands and mouth with unwashed hands;
9. Cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief, preferably disposable, or with your hand, but not with your hand in case you cough or sneeze;
10. Air all the premises as often as possible;
11. Periodically disinfect tables, benches, chairs, hangers, floors, taps, handles, toilet showers with bleach or chlorine-based disinfectant solutions, solvents, 75th-rate ethanol, paracetic acid and chloroform.
