Re: Why do you operate a dojo?

Onegaishimasu. I have operated a dojo for 16 years. Roughly 50% of those years the dojo paid for itself. The other 50% I call 'paying my dues' to take on a mission; to teach aikido and empower people and why? Because operating the dojo is my response to the overwhelming problems of society and the world. Does it work? I like to think it does.

In gassho,

Mark
