When I started in Karate it was always held in big airy school gyms. You know the type, lots of air and lights, and a polished hardwood floor.
Very nice.
Today, we shifted our training into a small church hall, poorly lit, wavy floor, and musty smell.
I don't know why, but this just seems more like a Karate Dojo to me. Places like it always have.
Can you remember the boxing gym from the original Rocky movie? Boxers should train in places like that, not in carpeted, mirrored rooms with full wall views of the ocean.
And don't forget.
Yoda taught in a swamp.
I am a 68 year old retired teacher living on the west coast of Canada. I spent over 30 years as a student of Karate until my knees stopped liking it. My current passionate activity is Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which I've been at for about 13 years.
