I have quite a few articles that I have found over the years. I love to give my students as much as I can to help in their martial development. So what I am going to do is share as many as I can here, some of which you may already know..

This is a sore topic to me. So many people seem to frown on a succesful studio, so I am posting this artice I ran accross. i hope you all enjoy.

Budo & Business: Dispelling A Myth . . .

by Gary Gabelhouse

In my conversations and interactions with martial artists over the years, I have consistently observed that budoka equate business, business executives and commercial success with a number of distasteful and/or negative attributes . . .

Dishonest
Quick Talkers
Greedy
Money Grubbing
Aggressive
Slick

Many budoka associate a kind of anti-dojo kun with successful business and business executives. This is a myth-and a tragic myth, in that this perception-this discriminatory view of business and good business executives, can forever limit the budoka with regard to the growth of a prosperous, yet traditional dojo.
