Policy Update

Masa Kokoro — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 11:36:58 +0000

Sunday classes and the intermediate/advanced training session (from 8:30pm to 9:15pm) are now for registered students only. However, if you had once registered previously and had to change to a drop-in basis because of some commitment or a vacation, you are exempt but should re-register when you can. That means that for these people who were once registered, you may still come to the intermediate/advanced sessions and Sundays (with your drop-in card).

New students and students who have never registered should register for the privilege of the extra training day. The benefits of registering include free SAIT parking, an extra training day on Sundays, and an extra 40 minutes of practice (typically) each class (on top of the use of the gym, pool, hot tub and sauna).

SAIT P1 Closure Dates

Masa Kokoro — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 04:56:41 +0000

SAIT’s P1 parking area will be closed on Thursday, July 8th until Monday at 6 am. This means that for the Friday class and Sunday class of that weekend you cannot park in P1. Please park in the adjacent parking lot just up the hill. If you are a registered Aikido student (not a drop-in student), then parking is always free on training days.
