CheekyMusician Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 I think your club sounds like they're raising money for a good reason. They wont to get you to Greece and they need money to do that, so no, I don't think they sound like a McDojo. Lots of clubs (not just martial arts clubs) do bag packs to raise money. I used to do them with a band I was in. Don't be embarrassed...be proud of the club your raising money for! Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.
aes Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 I agree with CheekyMusician, fund raising is done by many Dojos to help offset the costs of expensive trips. At our Dojo all the money goes to the competitors involved. None of it goes to the owners. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate
