Daniel's Martial Arts Journey
@forsurenotdaniel.bsky.social
Just a place to track my martial arts what nots.
My Saturday class has gained 0 new paying students in 14 months. And attendance has dropped to 0-1 for over 3 months now.
Thinking it’s time to call it quits or rebrand. Owner thinks we stay the course for now.
It’s a lonely 20 min drive each way
But hey - had the whole mat to myself

I’m having a sciatica incident I think and I got oral surgery coming … this is after year+ off after knee injury
Oral surgery is looking like 6 month off. We’ll see I guess before I make drastic decisions.
