tallgeese Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Took a look at the system name, and what I wanted to convey. It's also helpful to take a look at what kind of facilty you'll be using and what the focus will be on.As anb example:For me, my group became Bujin Combat SolutinsBujin out of respect to my primary system. Combat from the connotaion it brings and how well it represents what I wanted to focus on teaching. And solutions came up becase I work more along the lines of a consultant approach rather than a school atmosphere. It just had a better feel for what I was doing. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarateEd Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The first school I attended (Tang Soo Do) operated out of a church. Classes were held in the fellowship hall. The instructor had the dojang certified and called the school "Tri-Star Tang Soo Do." He was influenced by his religion when it came to naming his school.

Wa-No-Michi Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 In Traditional Japanese Budo, its is often the case that a Dojo is given its name by the head (or very senior) instructor "Ryu-ha" to which it belongs.Often these names are given when the Sensei has visited a group and has experienced the "feel" of the dojo and named it appropriately.Typically, Japanese dojo names reflect the ideologies of "do" .FortitudeSelf ImprovementEducationSpirit Mind Heart EtcAnd usually the names awarded to the dojo are compounds of such principles.A former fellow student from my Wado group, is now head of the New Zealand Wado-kai and his Dojo was named "Yoshin Wadokan".It translates to "Hall of Cultivation of the Mind and Heart, through the Study of Peace and Harmony".Alternatively you could create your Dojo name by prefixing the "style" of MA you will be teaching with the name of the town the Dojo will be in.Job done "A lot of people never use their initiative.... because no-one told them to" - Banksyhttps://www.banksy.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
