Help for a new club leader!

I like your ideas, tallgeese. I have never trained in a setting like that, but it sounds interesting.

I'm also confused by "open to all disciplines", especially in combination with "More like a dojo class."

This probably isn't the kind of advice you're looking for, but you mentioned teams.

Out here, in SoCal, there's a small group that puts on tournaments with an intercollegiate competition. I'm not sure how it was set up, but there was one team representing each school. I think there were teams from 3 or 4 colleges competing against each other. Off the top of my head, I think UC Riverside, UC San Diego, and Riverside CC were involved. Maybe UC Irvine, too.

Maybe you could spur interest in your club by doing the same thing, putting together competitions with rival schools. It'd probably make good publicity! Just a thought.
