    I know. That is certainly a concern and a likely event in the future. 20 years from now people will probably question my authenticity because I "don't give belts" or "don't do forms". Its coming, and I dread it.

    I guess the pertinent question here is... can we (Systema worlod) learn from the past of other arts that have faced this. Can we find soemething reasonable to do to stop the creation and proliferation of McDojo!?

    Sorry dude you’re screwed and it is coming. With all possible good humor - if you guys can pull it off you’ll be the first. So grab the money while you can, then run. Just kidding... really... no really...
    really.

    Default Chicopee Mass

    I know there was a Dojo in Chicopee that claimed to teach Aikijujutsu. I can find out if it is still there if you like. I have no idea if the dojo is legit.

    I've merged this thread with an existing thread on Mass. More times than not, there is already a thread started for an area people are looking in. Even if the thread does not perfectly match your location preference, it is probably a good idea to post there anyway to increase the odds of responses and readership.

    "Put strength into your practice, and avoid conceit. It is easy enough to understand a strategy and guard against it after the matter has already been settled, but the reason an opponent becomes defeated is because they didn't learn of it ahead of time. This is the nature of secret matters. That which is kept hidden is what we call the Flower."

    Curious only, but ltuzz, if your name is Linda Crochiere, why would you sign your post with a handle instead of your real name as that is one of the rules to which you agreed when you registered?

    While I am curious, it is a rule and your full, true name (or first initial and surname) is required.


    Thank you,

    Default I'm sorry

    The above should have said, "There are a couple of well-thought-of instructors who give public seminars at different dojo in New England"... typing w/pneumonia, not a good idea!!

    Why do the well thought of instructor keep it such a secret? I would love to train in AJJ but I can never find these clandestine shadow warriors.

    What are they hiding from!!? Are they fugitives?

    More that they get kind of tired of people who beg to train, then quit after a few classes because either "it hurts too much" or "it takes too long to get to the good stuff."

    Default DR in New England

    Hello all,

    If anyone is interested, Roy Goldberg Sensei has a very public dojo in Mamaroneck, N.Y.. Goldberg Sensei is a highly respected and accomplished Kodokai DR instructor and has been studying with Kiyama Hayawo Shihan for over 35 years. Anyone interested in training with the Kodokai branch of DR would be well advised to contact Goldberg Sensei at:

    East Coast Martial Arts Dojo
    1 Depot Plaza
    Mamaroneck, N.Y.
    914-698-3908

    Goldberg Sensei hosts Kiyama Shihan several times each year for seminars and training opportunities. If you are looking to learn Daito Ryu from a wonderful teacher, you would not want to miss the opportunity to study with Kiyama Sensei.

    The dojo in Mamaroneck houses a very serious group of Budoka. If you truly want to learn DR with the Kodokai, then this dojo would be well worth your examination.

    Best of luck,

    Carl Long
    Jikishin-Kai Intl.

    Carl,

    Thank you for that constructive response. I known Sensei Goldberg conducts seminars with Sensei LoPiore of Lyme Connecticut on a frequent basis. I will check out one of his seminars.
