A Dojo is a Circle of learning that embodies Fearless Leadership through practicing MetaShift Method on a Mat.
Intention
A Dojo is a Circle of learning that embodies Fearless Leadership through practicing MetaShift Method on a Mat. The Sensei, Kohai, and Senpai, model and guide and follow as it makes sense for their level of learning and responsibility.
