Closed Martial Arts Schools should be recognised as essential education.

Closed on

Martial Arts should be recognised as essential education for children and adults alike.

Im requesting that the government recognise the vital services that martial arts schools provide, and to allow us to remain open during any further lockdowns.

The young children who are being bullied in school, who turn to martial arts to build their confidence, their mental wellbeing, their ability to defend themselves, are hugely essential!

The students who are stuck in an abusive relationship, who see martial arts as their only form of escape, and in some cases, their only form of survival, is hugely essential.

By following all current guidance on social distancing, the wearing of masks, and the intricate cleaning, surely it would be unethical to close down Martial Arts Schools?
