Please do not create an article to promote yourself, a website, a product, or a business (see What Wikipedia is not). If you wish to promote your dojo on your personal page instead of the main article space, feel free to move it there. Other than that, welcome to the club!

Barokai
Welcome to Wikipedia! This article needs some serious work. It's very short and there are no sources showing that this martial art is popular/widespread/notable enough for an article. I got around 100 hits for Barokai on Google which is very low for a martial art. Please see WP:NOTABILITY and WP:RS for guidelines. Without some attempt to address these issues it's likely your article will be nominated for deletion at some point. Exxolon (talk) 23:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
