These pages will be used to track and record the process of Building our Dojo from the ground up.
Please Donate to our Dojo Building Fund -- we are a non-profit making Organisation and need to attract what we can to bring our Dojo to life. Any amount will be something towards the fund. We have suggested £5 as a consideration to the amount we need to raise. If you can't donate money then please consider giving your time or perhaps even some materials that can be used. Everything donated will help us achieve our goal.

Thanks, yours in Kenpo

Dojo Space

posted 29 Dec 2011 04:57 by Adam Merton


So here it is - in all its glory. Yep the space in my Back Garden Ready for the Dojo Building. Phase 1 will be to start the groundworks.

- Remove the brick wall; brick by brick. 
- Dig up any remaining roots of Bushes Cleared back in 2009. 
- Measure out dojo Footings (Possible 20'x20' Floor Plan)

We also need to start looking at a Dojo design for the exterior - the the design of which depends on many factors including money. :)

A Few Ground Rules

Positive Speech

No thoughts of Doubt should be considered when involved in the Project activities - obviously consideration for all thoughts during planning stages will be considered. Moreover the concept of positive attraction is our mainstay of currency to be used to build the Dojo. 

In Talking about

When referring to the project one must talk in present tense as if we already have the Dojo - this theory should be applied to all activities in and around the Dojo. 

Metaphysical

The Physical Space that is my ‘Garden’ should be treated as the Shunryukan. As it already is by that those that train there. 

Belong

Those that are members of the Shunryukan Should consider themselves the catalysts of the Dojo. Nothing can happen without your positive thoughts and actions. Each step we make towards obtaining the space should be considered in the journey that is the project itself. 

Group

The concept of the ‘KAI’ or group that uses the Dojo is that the “Dojo” IS wherever the KAI trains. This is our key phrase: “Wherever that Maybe’. Although I expect and focus the Dojo to be based in my Garden we also have to be open to the fact that a space somewhere better may materialize -- this is based on ‘Chaos Theory’. Remember that the Universe will move in many ways to give you want you want IF you positively focus on what you want.  Visualize the Dojo - Belong there and train there in your mind at all times. 

Madness

Nope I haven't lost it - maybe I never indeed had it. However consider that if we don't attract and ask for what we want we may never receive. :)
