We had a good meeting with Laura, the lead lady at WREN. We're all agreed on the times and running of the program. John and I get keys this week. Laura even gave us some good advice on branding the program. We've shared some ideas on the new school logo, and we're going to simplify it, kind of cleaning it up and making it instantly recognizable, while conveying the tone of the program.
The practice sessions have been going well. That box of puzzle pieces is slowly but surely coming together. We've been going over old material, and then I'll be treated with "brain candy" as John puts it; some practical use and extensive training on various techniques.
One mildly discouraging thing: no students lined up! We're hoping to promote as much as possible. I'm hoping for 6 regular students to start, but we'll see. On our facebook page, the only real interest I've gotten is from parents wanting to enroll their kids. I feel bad telling them the age limit, but for now an adults only class (14+) is the best way for us to go. We'll visit the kids class option if all goes well over the next year.
Hopefully next month while we start up the program I'll also get back to doing Aikido, although just one day a week.
