Advertising for your local dojo!
I've just posted something on the "does sensei have his own plane?" thread and it got me thinking.... what advertising slogans could you have for Aikido?
my first was 'Aikido, a great excuse for spousal abuse!' Or... Come fly with us.... for a limited period of time only! 'we can show you the Ki to self defence' :o :rolleyes: Any other ideas? |
Re: Advertising for your local dojo!
Once upon a time, my old dojo had a t-shirt for "frequent flyers club". The old Capital Aikikai t-shirt used to say "before enlightenment, draw water, chop wood. After enlightment, order pizza, drink beer." But my all time favorite is the one from Palm Beach Aikikai with a big mean samurai wielding a sword, and the slogan said "More Wasabi"
Currently, I'm partial to the one on the bumper sticker message thread: "Don't trust anyone further than you can throw them. We'll show you how." |

A slogan I have seen translates as "Aikido - human origami".

From Oberlin Aikikai, a few years ago while I was still a student:
"Harmony Kicks Ass" |

This is not funny. I know. It is very sad when one hears that one's ex-husband has died and all one can feel is relief that he can't ever hurt her again. |
Re: Advertising for your local dojo!
Well my wife finds it funny.... or she will if she knows what's good for her!
Is that the time? must dash, haven't finished the housework and she'll be back any minute EEEK!!!! |
Re: Advertising for your local dojo!
hey! I was only joking! we have a very harmonious and loving relationship wer'e best friends and all that! really did not mean to upset anyone :sorry:
how about...... ukemi, i can fly! or, aikido.....trust someone as far as you can throw them! :eek: |
Re: Advertising for your local dojo!
Just throwing some random ideas out there.
"Aikido : Reach out and grab someone." "Peace through greater throwing power." "Who needs a gun (knife,weapon), when you can hit someone with the Planet? "Aikido: Size doesn't matter. (...but it makes things more interesting!) (Here's a tacky one, but I think it's funny. ;) ) On the front of the T-shirt, where the "pocket" space would be, it would read: "Aikido Mofo" ... on the back of the shirt is would say: "Grab my wrist. I dare you." evileyes I'll keep working on this. I'm sure there are some good ideas. I know I've had better ones before this. ;) |

Re: Advertising for your local dojo!
We are also doing T-shirts now and have narrowed it down to a few slogans:
1. "Shut up and train." [the leading contender] 2. "If it hurts, it must be working." 3. ".....the roots." Best regards, Mark |

I was tempted to use the following slogan for our university club:
"Our drinking club has a bit of an aikido problem..." But settled for our organisations usual t-shirt slogan instead. Mike |

Re: Advertising for your local dojo!
What's that padded baton/tanto thing used in shodokan?
I remember our university aikido club had one of those on a poster with "We'll show you a good time" underneath it. |
