Class Schedule Overview:
- To optimize instruction and your zoom training experience we will divide classes by rank
- However, we expect higher participation than winter camp, especially in black belt groups where classes might be 50+ students
- Each student 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
- All ranks will start with Takahashi-Sensei at 9:30am for a 30 min welcome and kihon, then will continue in separate groups by rank

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”
- i.e. “[First Name] Yale JKA” for us
- 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
