Starting a Dojo or Designing an MA Store?
About a week ago, I received a call from a friend that trained with me a long time ago. He told me about his progress: Getting his blackbelt, trophies from various tournaments, and certification to teach. After receiving quite a bit of funding, he wants me to be deeply involved in starting a dojo. Personally, I wouldn't mind doing it, but my real passion is in developing training tools [Llike "Q" from James Bond films], and hopefully I want to open a store. What should I do? Any Suggestions?

Run your store out of his dojo.. this way you dont have to have a storefront, there isnt two rents to pay etc... While you are developing your new and improved products you dont need to be paying for wasted space, hydro, etc...
If anything you make becomes successful than consider expanding.

I took your advice.

About 3/4 of the entire area is for students, training equipment, and a small store front for sparring gear. The other quarter section is a small wood shop like area for me to design training and conditioning devices. It has been working out well so far. Wish me luck!
