‘My dream is that one fine day our dojo will be a ‘Rainbow Dojo’, a multi cultural multi generational place of sharing daring & caring. I see Grandparents training with grandchildren – parents training with their own parents and children – Strangers training with new friends – an inspiring circular community where all who wish to open their mind and hearts can join in to develop local families and global societies.’
