tanren dojo

Wow!!! what a long, but very fruitfull path to follow, been on the Tatami now since age 14, 37 now so I'll let you do the math on that one. Although I might be running a Dojo I am still a beginner in the grand scheme of things. Determined to keep Martial Arts learning as it should be, not for profit, or fame, or running a "Franchise" as some martial arts "business's" or "McDojo's" like to call them.

I have had my knocks in the past and still do as I am still very active in the security industry. SO, realism is very important to my learning and teaching of students.

Had some great seminar's that myself and students have had the opportuniy to attend, we met some great people and awesome teachers!!

My dream is to have small holding ie.. Farm / Dojo, were by people come to train / live, help out on the farm, produce is sold to help with up-keep / running costs etc.......

O'Sensei said that true Budo and Farming / Agriculture go hand in hand, how very true and right he was!!

So long for now, see you on the Tatami soon.
