I’m not sure if you all know what I do when I’m not fixing computers but I teach Karate and have done for many years.
As you know I really do not ever like to overcharge for my services and in karate I really don’t either so my dojo operates on fairly break even to get people in through the door.
Currently we are running a campaign for new mats for our Dojo so I’m reaching out to see if anyone could help in any way by donating to our crowdfunder on the links below.
If you fancy starting karate then let also me know… best decision you will ever make ( in addition to using me to fix your Mac kit for over 26 years)
PLEASE LOOK AT OUR CROWDFUNDER campaign for NEW mats for the Dojo. We are getting so close to our target now and just need the final push with your help.
As many of you know the Dojo runs at fairly zero profit basis as the rent for the space we occupy is horrendous (good old landlords) and we even have to pay massive business rates too.
Our Mats in the Dojo are getting close to 6 years old now and with the constant heavy cleaning in the Covid years (and since) have diminished the mats in the space.
While this space allows us to train properly and safely, it also means we don’t have the turnover to cover large one-off costs like new mats without putting pressure on our members or increasing fees — something we want to avoid. That’s why we’re asking for help.
How the Money Will Be Spent. Every pound raised will go directly towards:
Purchasing new, high-quality martial arts mats
Improving safety and comfort for all training sessions
Ensuring the dojo remains fit for regular classes, seminars, and visiting practitioners
If any money is left over it will be invested in equipment for the Dojo to benefit all.
There are no hidden costs and no profit — this is purely about reinvesting back into the dojo and its future for all the Martial Arts clubs that use our hollowed space.
We’re calling on our martial arts community, friends, supporters, and anyone who believes in what we do to help us invest in the future of Dojo Newquay. Whether you train with us, have trained with us in the past, or simply support community-driven projects, your contribution will make a real difference.
If you can donate, share, or spread the word, you’ll be helping ensure that The Dojo- Newquay continues to be a safe, welcoming, and high-quality training space for years to come.
Thank you for your support — it truly means everything to us. Crowdfunder link below. please contribute if you can or simply share if you cannot...
