Re: How can we get a dojo in town?

Mary, you are quite right. I love the art, but not enough to make it a business. I would be willing to help anyone that wanted to make it a business. I don't believe I have the correct training in the art to make it my business. The restaurant analogy is good. I may have cooked for 10 years, but does always cooking Mac and Cheese make me ready to start a restaurant? :-)

Now a Club. . . I might be able to help with that, but it would need a place. Anyone have any "in's" here in this area where a club could practice? I first tried with the local Gyms, but they never seemed to have a night available on the mat floors. I believe we need somewhere with mats, and somewhere where we can get access at least once a month. Even a local college would be good. Any ideas? Or does anyone want to come here and teach? Start a class? Here's hoping and asking for help. :-)

Just one more point for anyone on the edge . . . have you ever seen any other town post requesting a dojo? :-)
