Giving the Dojang a face lift!

Al-hamdulillah, over the past weekend we have managed to cleaned the Dojang inside-out.



We rolled up our sleevs, threw on our gloves, and got straight to business. We mopped the mats and the the floor underneath the mats and replaced the old tape on the seams and added sealant to the tapes.


Thank you too those brothers and sisters who gave us a little bit of their time and got their hands dirty. The Dojang looks great, but we want to make sure that we keep it 'spic and span'.



Some general rules we want to share with everyone so we can maintain our Dojang:

1. It is not a general playground or a hangout place for anyone. Only registered supervised students of Aqabah karate, summer camp, hifz program and Salah congregants may use this surface.

2. No food and drinks on the mat

3. Do not place any chairs and tables directly on the mat surface. This has placed many tears on the surface.

4. The hifz carpets should no longer be placed on the mats. The carpets have a rough surface and dragging them around the mats have resulted in the tapes peeling off. Plus they are very dirty and beginning to smell. Insha-Allah we will find a better solution for the hifz students.

5. Last but not least, we thank Allah for blessing us with the highest quality mat for the children who attend the martial arts program. It is community property and it is a trust from Allah. Lets take care of it.
