Afternoon everyone, I'm a martial arts practitioner of 30 years standing and until three years ago I ran a karate club in Leeds - a Wado Ryu variant with a big self defence bias with a number of other black belts.

Having had a break whilst my kids were young I've recently gotten the bug again and taken up Shukokai karate in Leeds and am also considering re-starting my own dojo as a solo project.

In the past I've trained in Shotokan Karate and Judo as well.

Welcome to the forum... and good luck with your dojo project. I look forward to hearing how it goes. Perhaps you could begin a 'Dojo Diaries' thread detailing your experiences in getting the dojo off the ground?

Greetings from up in Kilmarnock.

Good luck with the project.
