NEW MATS!

There is a great offer for new mats and so we are able to order with your support 60 m2 for our new dojo. As you know this is the most important part of the equipement of a dojo.

SO THE FIRST MAIN STEP FOR THE NEW DOJO IS DONE!

We hope during waiting for the mats the new accomodations will also materialize.
We are so happy, that it`s going on!
Thanks again for all of your support!!!

News

Dear boosters!

We closed the campagne with 178% of our first goal!
And now, after all the personal "thank yous", it`s time to say also here a very big official thank you to all of you great people!!!
You all brought us so much hope!

At the very moment we are still in an intermediate solution and searching for our new dojo, but we are sure with your help in our back there will show up a new way, when it`s time for it.

For now we still are allowed to practice once the week in the gym of the primaryschool that reacted first after our black day. With the tatami of the the children aikido project AikidoKidsLuzern and happily very low rent.

So your donations help us for a very long time or, and that is now our plan, the very most costs for the new tatami later in our new dojo.
We will not move into our old rooms again for several reasons. On the one hand there is still the danger that it could be flooded again (as we now heard it`s the 2nd time in 10 years), on the other hand we want to start a bit smaller and hopefully with a lower rent, so that it is more secure that we can stay there for long term. We hope to be able to make a very new and clear start then.
Most of our Aikidokas stayed with the dojo. No matter that for the moment there is only one training-possibility in the week and this in another part of the town.
So we are glad what we still have and look forward for whatever will come in the future. We are sure that what comes will be the best for our dojo!

And if the time is there and doors open to go further to the new shore of places and experiences, with your donations we`ll then be able to react very directly. That is so releaving! Thank you so much for this freedom!

We just have to tell you this:

In one step from 104% to 161%!
There are already a lot of friends who boosted some smaller and some also larger donations to the dojo. And this new donation is topping all. WOW!
A big Thank you! to the students of the Aikido Schule Basel who collected 1200.-CHF for the reconstruction of the Jikishinkai Schiavone Dojo!
So after 3 weeks of summer-hollyday-stop we are now a big step closer to the new Tatami!

And more good news:
After first just having the ok to use the gym of the St. Karli Primaryschool till Oktober, we are now allowed to stay till December! That`s where our partnerproject Aikido Kids Luzern (www.facebook.com/AikidoKidsLu... is training and where we can use their tatami...

We are so happy, that it is going on!

How to stay on the wave?

The first step is done. But: to rebuild the dojo there is still a long way to go. So please continue to share our campaign. So that we will reach the final goal with a new dojo in the end.

Thanks also to those three boosters who believe in the reconstruction and sent us a new donation - plus to the first target!

You give us hope!

What we were able to achieve till now is a weekly training for the adult aikidokas in a gym after school holydays. Just one the week and in another part of the town. Not ideal, but better than nothing!

So please continue to share our campaign.

We wish you a wonderfull happy summer!

First target reached! Yeah!

Yeah! We will continue! The first step is done! At least the interim solution is assured now. You are phantastic - WOW! I can`t say what that means to us...
Now it`s clear: We will find a way to continue. Because of all of you! We really thank you from our hearts.

Of course the Dojo isn`t rebuild with this. But the most important thing, the regular training, is saved now for the next time. For the reconstruction we are still happy for any new donations.

What`s the next step?
With the 2100.-CHF you`ve sent to us we will pay the additional costs for rents in another dojo during the interim solution.
Everything more will be for new mats and other furniture.
Till now it`s not completely clear if the Jikishinkai Schiavone Dojo will be again in the very same rooms or in new accommodations nearby. Accordingly to this the interim phase will be longer or shorter. To make our old rooms ready to move in it seems that we would have to wait till 2016 when everything has completely dried and is fully renovated.

But first of all we are thrilled that the first target is reached!
1000 thanks to all of you!!!

To close these happy news here is a short poem we found on the back of a foto of Fujimoto Sensei as we were drying it (free translation from the Italian):

"snow from yesterday
falls like petals
becomes water again"
First target reached! Yeah!

Stopgap - lawn...

It`s dry and sunny weather here in Lucerne!
So the kidstraining was taking place once again – on the lawn behind our old Dojo.

Now we`ve got more than ¾ of the money we need for the interim solution! We are so happy about and hope it will continue like this.

Thank you! A very nice summer to all of you!

The half + the seminar is saved!

Wow!
You`re wonderfull...
You`ve spend the half for the first rents in only 4 days!
That`s really a strong sign!
Thank you all so very much.

The other good news:
The testing - seminar tomorrow will take place! Of course not in our dojo. That needs some more time, but it`ll take place! :)

That and your input bring our wish to continue more and more to reality.
Thank you!
The half + the seminar is saved!

Thanks thousand times!

On the pic you see the rest that we were able to recover out of the dojo.
