MatsuShinshii Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hang in there Noah. God Bless! The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails-but the one who moves on in spite of failure. Charles R.

All of you are in my prayers daily!!Please excuse me for asking this, and I mean nothing but respect...What's to become of the Peaceful Warrior Martial Arts & Healing Center dojo now??For the time being, we are going ahead with classes in January as normal. He wouldn't want us to stop. Those of us who are instructors will have to sit down with Tiffany, though, and figure out where to go from there. I don't think anyone wants the dojo to close, but we may have to downsize to a smaller/cheaper space at some point. It's hard to keep such a large dojo going with only part-time instructors.

bushido_man96 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I just read the sad news of Sensei Poage's passing. I offer my deepest condolences. And I as well. I'll keep your school and his family in my prayers. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR 137 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 My sincere condolences to you, Noah, Poage sensei’s family, friends, and students.It sounds like you have a dedicated and highly competent group of instructors, and very good students. While things are completely up in the air right now, I’m sure once the dust settles everything will be fine with the dojo. It’ll never be the same, but that doesn’t mean it’ll stop being a great place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
