The Evolution of our Aikido Dojo

Call (720) 221-3665

This is what the dojo looked like when we first purchased it. Yuck!

Here's what the dojo looked like once we finally got the old tenant out!

The lobby needed some work, too.

Eventually, the wall went up separating our new home from the adjacent unit.

Once that was done the paint started to go up.

Then things started to look a bit better including the lobby.

Yeh! The tatami mats finally showed up!  But before we can put them down, we have to clean and prep the skylights... actually, I left most of that to Allison.

OK, I helped a little, but did so from the roof side. 

Carpet for the changing rooms.

First things first.  We had to get a picture of Osensei hung up!

OK. Now it is starting to look like a dojo!

Next, the changing rooms had to be built.  That took a while.

Then came the monstrocity called the KAMIZA...

...which, of course, had to be hand-stained.

Here is pretty much the finished product.  We still have some work to do, but all in all, not bad I'd say.  The work out space is just under 2000 SF comprising almost 80 tatami mats.  Thank you to everyone who helped put it all together.
