Beginning June 2010, the city of Chandler will no longer offer a family rate for the city fee, instead each person who registers for Aikido will pay an individual city fee. By making this change the city will align all their classes to reflect the same policy across the board. We are the only class that offers a family rate, which has caused some frustration and confusion. In June, when this change happens, you will finally be able to register for Aikido classes online.
This change will increase the amount families pay the city, but the instructor fees will remain the same. When this change goes into effect, each participant registered for class will pay the city fee for an individual – $8, $11, or $13 per person depending on which dojo and class is attended.
As always, we want to make Aikido available to anyone who truly wants to train. If this change creates a problem we ask that you talk to us and we will figure something out. The City of Chandler also has scholarships available.
Congratulations go out to Avichal Jha and his wife, Anu, on the birth of their new baby girl. Mother and daughter are both fine and healthy. We wish Avi and Anu all the best as they begin their new life as parents. The world is lucky to have such loving people to raise this little girl.
We are now taking orders for the new Aikido of Phoenix t-shirts. The shirts will be steel blue in color with the Aikido of Phoenix logo in white on the front and a dynamic Aikido image on the back, also in white They will be made out of a 50/50 cotton/poly blend material and cost will be $15. We will have kids and adult sizes.

Aikido of Phoenix’s website has been updated to allow Mesa students to register with the city of Mesa through our website. We have included a link that will take you directly to the page you need in order to start the registration process. Once at this page you will need to login to the WebTrac system and proceed with registration. We hope this makes the registration process a little easier.
Chandler and South Chandler students will have this same opportunity beginning in June when students will be able to register for classes online and we link it through our website.
On Saturday, March 20 Snedigar Recreation Center (location of South Chandler dojo) will be hosting an Open House that will hightlight classes taught there. Both the kids and adult classes will be having demonstrations so that the community can learn more about what is offered at the center.
The Open House begins at 10:00 am and will end at 12:00 pm. The Aikido demonstration will be from 10:00-10:30 with the adult class continuing with regular class until 11:30, which will act as another demonstration in and of itself. We will have students demonstrating a wide range of techniques to help showcase what Aikido is about and hopefully encourage people to come to a class and give it a try.
Snedigar students who are participating, please come dressed in your gi and ready to go by 9:55 am. This will be a great way to get in some extra practice. Once our demonstration is over and while you are there, check out the other classes that will be participating as well. There will be informational flyers, make-and-take activities and drawings for free stuff.
Thank you in advance for everyone who will be participating. It is very much appreciated. Let’s show everyone what a great art Aikido is!
