Basically a ‘good day’ is based upon whether or not I have energy for training. When I feel energetic I work harder, faster, and pay more attention to what I’m doing. I usually feel good about my technique and the fact that I’m improving. I also know that my partner is having fun and learning too, which is good for my self esteem.<\/p>\n
When I am tired, I watch the clock and feel bad for my partner who in return feels bad every time I drag myself off the floor only to be thrown again. I try not to complain but when my energy is low I do it more, and am less able to pay attention to detail or take criticism well. <\/p>\n
As a result of these conclusions I always try to get a nap in somewhere so my mind is rested. Plus I try to eat enough so that I don’t feel hungry and distracted during class. <\/p>\n
On another note, Luke is seriously looking at several places to start his dojo. I’ve been researching several coastal cities to see which ones will offer him a good chance at a successful student base. <\/p>\n
Charleston SC has a good economy with military and healthcare being the strongest employers. <\/p>\n
Miami has one USAF dojo already, but with 5 million people it can certainly support another. <\/p>\n
The west coast of mid Florida appears to be lacking in any serious dojos, and so may provide an opportunity. <\/p>\n
Mobile Alabama has a large population.<\/p>\n
Savannah Georgia also has a large population.<\/p>\n
What do you guys think? Aside from St. Augustine, what coastal cities offer a good economy and population for an Aikido school. Which coastal city has good surfing! lol, I know Luke likes to surf. <\/p>\n
Luke will speak with Sensei about his options, but intelligent opinions from knowledgeable sources would be appreciated. I think pointers on how to run a dojo as far as cash flow and taxes would be appreciated. I know we have some lawyers aboard this blog who might understand such things better than the rest of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
