A Dojo Unlike Any Other!!

[sensei8]

This dojo is not like a dojo that one would imagine when one thinks on the word "dojo". This dojo is in Naha, Okinawa...and...it's "owned by a British guy" where patron's speak both Japanese and English.

Well, it's certainly different. Kinda cool actually. I think some folk would disagree with me tho, some see the dojo as almost sacrosanct. But I think it would be a great bar to go into and meet and discuss the MAs with people from all over the world, to get their views and theories on all sorts of things. If I ever make it to Okinawa, it's definitely on my list of places to go.

Nice find, thanks for posting.

I think that's the place that our director goes to every time he visits Okinawa to train at the WMKA headquarters. If I remember correctly, that place is next-door to the old Osensei Nagamine dojo (that closed, unfortunately...Nagamine dojo, that is). Many of the photos on The Dojo Bar's FB are of Matsubayashi-Ryu practitioners...

Yeah, looking at the photo that's posted in the article shared by Bob (photo at the bottom of the article with all the people out front of the bar), you can see the old Nagamine Osensei dojo in the far right edge of the photo...just barely visible.

Totally cool.

I wonder why Soke and/or Dai-Soke never took us there whenever we went to Okinawa with them?!?
