I never said there was anything wrong with it; Someone else was making the point that Aikido dojos are being run like fitness centers for the purpose of making a profit.
My point is every Gold's Gym, blah blah fitness center, etc that is teaching the latest and greatest fad exercise routine is out to make a profit first and foremost.
Not all Aikido dojos are. Many dojos primary concern is the teaching of the art first and foremost and if we have enough money left over in December for a Christmas party, that's great. If not, then it is either potluck or we don't have one.
