“Karate is an integral part of my life and contributes meaning to my life. Someone who establishes a dojo has a mission: and that is, to instruct and develop more students.
.
Opening a new dojo requires a lot of students, who will join and help run and maintain it. So in light of that, how do we make karate appealing to these members? There are some challenges here that have invited a lot of thinking and consideration… For them to truly find joy in karate, and really get into it as one of their passions in life, it would be helpful if they conceived it the way I do.” ??

Attracting new students and keeping the dojo open is a concern everywhere. Especially these days where we have had to close for restrictions, and there is also so much to chose from. Students have so much that is available to them instantly, and making a long-term commitment to karate, takes dedication, sacrifice and passion…… And that is what it takes.

Be passionate about everything to do with karate. ‘YOUR’ martial art. YOUR Dojo.
