As Martial Arts Gym owners we are getting lots of questions about lockdown and the current status of the gym so we thought it would be a good idea to go through some of the most common questions on the podcast. The questions vary from when will you be opening up and what changes do you think might need to happen, to when can someone training look to compete and can we buy a hoodie!
Quote of the Podcast: "Buzz cuts are not just for convicts!"
