If you practice at home (house) where exactly do you practice? I expect that answers will fall into several main categories:
1. Practice in the middle of a room set up and used for other purpose, i.e. family room
2. Practice in an area sort of reserved for karate practice but also used for other purposes, i.e. spare bedroom, garage stall with car removed.
3. Practice in an area with space dedicated to Karate practice, a home dojo, i.e. bedroom, garage stall, section of basement equipped with mirrors, posters, weapons, makiwara, punching bag, perhaps a Bob stand and other accoutrements of Karate.
If you answered number 3 please provide a brief description. Size (Square feet/ meters? ! square meter = 10.8 Sq. Ft.), mirrors, lights, flooring, heated, TN, DVD/video player etc. Pictures would be nice.
does your area have a name? Mini Dojo? Dojo-ette, Karate cave. Retreat, refuge, hide away?
I am thinking of setting up one stall in my two car garage for Karate practice. Looking for ideas. One issue for me is cold winter weather is starting here, Michigan, USA. High temperatures predicted in low 30 degrees Fahrenheit ( -1 degree in Celsius) for the next two weeks then colder until spring.
Thanks
