Jersey City Aikikai needs your help!
Finances are one of the most difficult hurdles to building a dojo from the ground up. Even with the help of my partner and a few generous donors, I am shouldering most expenses on my own. Until I get a dedicated student body some of these costs are going to remain a personal burden.
Here is a breakdown of costs that have come up:
Rental Space: $1800/ month
Cost of one tatami mat: $425
Meditation cushion set (zafu and zabutan): $180
One gi: $50*
One weapons set (bokken, jo and weapon's bag): $180*
*I will need to purchase a small stock of weapons and gis in anticipation of students.
Any donations will be put to good use, mostly covering the above expenses!
I am deeply grateful to all who support this dojo in whatever way they can.
