Mary, you quite adequately defined what a dojo is. As to the Buddhist connection, ancient Buddhist practitioners were largely responsible for martial arts and integrated meditation and Buddhist ethics into the various schools of martial practice. Almost in the way that yoga developed as an arm of Hindu spiritual practices and worship.
Jim, I’m not sure what a “dojo” is; I presume a place to practice the martial arts.
Does this fit into Buddhism in any way? Not sure what this is all about.
But, as usual, your picture captures most of the room–a good picture as usual is what I meant to say. MCS
