Hello San Tan Aikido Members.  Our goal is to move San Tan Aikido into its own facility in the Queen Creek area sometime in 2007.  Commercial properties in the area rent for about $20-28/sq. ft./yr.  For a 1500 sq. ft. space, the monthly rent would be approximately $2500-$3500/mo not including all the other expenses.  At the rates listed below, that would require 35-50 adults/mo at a non-discounted rate just to break even on rent.  Please keep your eyes and ears tuned & please ask around for commercial/light industrial space for rent or for sale, especially if you can find it better rates!  Think outside the box.  Sharing space would be a great interim step.

Tom Sensei teaches Aikido because he loves Aikido, not because he wishes to earn a living as an Aikido instructor.  However, he still runs the dojo as a business, and expects to do a little better than break even.  We have a long way to go before this happens. 

Members are encouraged to talk with Tom Sensei at any time that payment of dojo dues becomes a difficulty – we are committed to finding ways for members to train.  No one will be turned away because of financial difficulties.  Our goal is to give as many people as possible the opportunity to experience the joy of Aikido training.
