As a senior member of a struggling dojo, I highly appreciate this videos. I didn't even know what are the signatures of a healthy dojo! I would love to hear more from you, whatever topic you think is important for dojo development (which is can overlap but not the same as student development).
Thank you! Please check out my other videos, especially in the 'Keep'm coming back' playlist. I'll do my best to share what I've learned 😌 We all have ups and downs in community clubs, so hang in there 👍😊
Blake Sensei, thank you for sharing your knowledge through this video. As a struggling Karate Sensei and Coach, the advice you give is very invaluable, as well as readily applicable! What I learn most of all is sharing in the responsibilities within the dojo. This is something my dojo really needs to work on. This is what I as a Sensei and Coach need to implement more! Thank you so very much!
So good to hear that these videos are reaching coaches in other martial arts, too! We all share similar challenges (and successes) because, at the end of the day, we don't coach sports/martial arts, we coach people! Please let me know if there are any areas in particular that would help to unpack further. Thanks for your support on this channel!
Thank you for the sharing! Would love to know more your thoughts on safeguarding, and the difference between tough training and violence in martial arts.

Incredibly invaluable video. Something that desperately needed to be addressed. These Bennett bros are bohdisattvas.
Thank you, Lars. So glad you found value in these musings! Its great to be able to share thoughts and research with the kendo community!
First one in the comments 😂 good to see you sensei Blake. Excellent topics covered and what an amazing production value, love the background design!!
Thanks mate! 😊 Appreciate the feedback 🙏
Thank you for the sharing! Would love to know more your thoughts on safeguarding, and the difference between tough training and violence in martial arts.
Copy that 👌 Talking about safeguarding and the line between violence and harsh training are important for us in kendo, eh. I'll get to work on this 👍
Would love to read your thesis on both topics, do you have a link?
Kind regards,
Happy to share! Please PM me on Facebook (or ResearchGate if you're on there 👍)
