parkerlineage Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 I got to our dojo at 9am today, only to find my Sensei had been there for 6 hours, after a drunk driver blasted through our front wall, which was double paned glass of some sort, at 3am! We spent a good hour picking up shards of glass in our front room. Ugh...don't drink, people, and if you must, don't drive, and if you must, DON'T DRIVE INTO OUR DOJO, PLEASE!! There's a parking lot in back, sheesh... American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker
ShotokanKid Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Sorry about your dojo, I'm glad you weren't hurt.One time, we had some kids come and set off some kind of firework or paintball bomb on our window. Our windows have been cut with glass cutters.We should make the dojo windows out of barbed wire or something Sorry about the window at your dojo "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."
Pacificshore Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Make sure to have the drunk driver come back as part of his/her community service to discuss the ills of drinking and driving, and then to have them clean up the dojo after every business day Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
Brandon Fisher Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Man things like this make me mad. Sorry to hear about the dojo but at least no one was in the building. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do
Sohan Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Unbelieveable. Good thing there wasn't a class at the time. Hope you get things fixed up soon.

lordtariel Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 That's crazy, I had a friend get clipped by a drunk driver. She spun out of control and wound up in somebody's laundry room. Glad nobody was hurt. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
cathal Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Make sure to have the drunk driver come back as part of his/her community service to discuss the ills of drinking and driving, and then to have them clean up the dojo after every business day Oh wow now that is an excellent idea, especially if there are kids in the dojo. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
Shotokan-kez Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Such a shame. People like that don't deserve to drive, i can't abide by drink drivers. I hope the dojo gets sorted soon and i'm glad no-one was hurt.Kez xx Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk
luckorskill007 Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 At least no one got hurt. On New Years eve a drunk lady ran through our dojo, so i know i sucks man. She was driving a Mercedes CLK, i felt bad for the dojo and the car
patusai Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 It was a bad thing but better early in the morning then during class. I hope that everything works out well while you get things back together "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt
