What is the dojo like in New York?



Did my best last night at Practice to give short tour of The Mechanicville Kesshinkai dojo. I have done my best to give a Japanese greeting. Please understand, that my Japanese is very poor, but I know that if I don't practice, I will never get any better. After all how can I ask our students to take the risk, and learn if there sempai will not jump out of his box....I hope this works, its my first try at Video here.

  1. Great Tony! I wish we had a Dojo like yours! (^^)
    As soon as the kids come back from summer vacation I'll post a vid of Makiki. Without the bodies, all it would show is a empty multipurpose room as we cannot "decorate" it permanently. Gahahaha
    William! Get your blog authorship registered soon. Let's get the blog moving (^^) so Tony and his Dojo can see an empty elementary school gym. (^^)
    Kesshinkai, you are lucky!! Urayamshii desu.
    羨ましいです。

  2. PS Tony, how long did it take to upload the vid?
    I have trouble uploading vids that go over 30 secs. Perhaps it's the format. Well, I need to get my PC whiz to help me out (^^)

  3. Roushiichi I only wish you were Jealous enough to move to New York!!!!...We too have to share. We have Aikido taught by Larry Gravett, Sensei, and starting this week a Zumba class. Larry, Sensei is a great guy. Zumba all ready has colored light up on the shomen. Frist night walks clean across the floor during practice. She just does not understand. Thinking what Oyama, Sensei would say??? (^^)
    I am not sure uploading time. I washed and cleaned 12 cucumbers from the garden, and returned and it was done. No more than 15mins. My format was .avi
