Recently I had the opportunity to lead a seminar entitled "Visit a Toastmasters Dojo" -- See also www.toastmasters.org ... The contents of this seminar come from my white-belt-observations as well as from the key points drawn from Sensei George Leonard's book, MASTERY. Few in this audience of public speakers had ever heard of aikido. Just about everyone, however, knew of the movie THE KARATE KID or had viewed the TV show WALKER: TEXAS RANGER ... Have you ever wondered why this is so? Do those who practice aikido have an obligation to explain the art to others? ... Would more folks join our dojo if we did?
