It truly is a pleasure coming to work everyday doing what I love the most
The hardest part though is when people quit
Not because the Dojo is losing money each month
But because when you sign up, its an investment
An investment on your part to better your mental & physical health
An investment on our part to help you achieve your goals
We spend all this time getting to know you, training with you, building bonds during & after class with laughs
And then one day youre just gone
If this is you, just know that we miss you. The Dojo is not the same without you
And we are waiting for you to come back
If its money thats holding you back, come in & talk to us & we'll work something out
If its something else, come in anyways & we'll sort it out
Whatever it takes to get you back
Because we value you as people & as students
You are what makes the Dojo the special place that it is
Come home
