Hi Folks,

I just opened a new Aikido dojo in Northeastern Massachusetts and wanted to share the website. We are called: Aikido Jinsei Dojo and are affiliated with the USAF-WR under T.K. Chiba Sensei. We are a satellite dojo of Connecticut Aikikai and as such under the technical direction of that dojo-cho Mike Sidebottom Sensei, 4th Dan, Shidoin.

The URL is: www.aikidojinseidojo.com

Best Regards,

Mark Chiappetta

Looking nice Mark. I've been looking for somewhere like that myself, but a) they are few and far between here in the UK, and b) those that are available are priced way beyond my means

Thanks Bryan. I know what you mean. I stumbled onto this space and it seemed perfect for what I wanted. Regarding the cost, let's just say it costs a lot more than the mortgage on my home to keep this place open. I sincerely hope I am able to build a good student base before I run out of funds.

Hi Mark,

You look familiar...did I perhaps train with you at Bucks County Aikido when Sidebottom Sensei came down about a year or so ago?

Thanks, and good luck with the dojo,
Ron

Hi Ron,

I haven't been to George Sensei's dojo (Buck's County) in 3 years so it couldn't have been me.

If you are ever up my way, please stop in to say hello and practice if you wish.

Best,

Mark
