Opening a full-time martial arts dojang sounds exciting — and it is. But what people don’t always see is what it takes behind the scenes to actually make it happen.

In this episode, I share the honest story of opening our new full-time dojang — from a year-long wait to complete, to record-breaking delays, building control frustration, a serious leak, broken-down vanss, missing deliveries… and opening the doors before everything was “finished”.

It’s a story about building a martial arts school — but more than that, it’s about staying calm under pressure, adapting when plans fall apart, and holding the line when things get stressful.

Because a dojang isn’t mirrors, desks, or perfect timing.

A dojang is people.

Share it with someone who’s building something difficult — and needs a reminder to keep going.

Train. Stay steady. Hold the line.
