Burner Dojo 2024 at is a wrap! Thank you to everybody who came together to offer the playa a dojo floor to the aspiring and very talented martial artists who came to the burn. Three stories from the 24 Burn:
๐ฅ In 2022, one burner came to our board breaking class and before he broke the board, he wrote on it โF**k Cancerโ because he had just been diagnosed. This year, he came to our camp to tell us that he had beat cancer.
โค๏ธโ๐ฅ and taught classes to kids at the burn and adapted to the kids interests, teaching an impromptu, beginning parent/child ground fighting class that had everybody giggling, laughing
๐ฆโ๐ฅOne burner asked to learn how to fight with his cane. He had practiced other martial arts and suffered injuries that made it hard for him to walk. We taught him some Arnise movements with his cane, so he could keep on practicing.
So many burners came to our events to share their martial arts and to learn something from us. We are truly the playaโs dojo.
