Yes, that's all well and good, but after all the students leave and the Sensei's looking over the bills( wondering how they're gonna be able to stay open), what I'm saying comes to the forefront.
If you put up an aikido franchise on every street corner---and I don't want to put words into your mouth, but you did mention wanting to see something like that, didn't you? patches on the uniforms and all, right?---then, yes, you have to worry about those bills and you have to let the market drive your offering.

But only you seem to be saying that we should play that game. I don't know why. I'm with Ron: What's wrong with basements and backyards?
