Hopefully, this format works a little better for ya 'all. I looking for usable information here folks, not rambling discourse. Just straight forward answers to the questions asked.
1. Art you practice in?
2. Size of training area at your dojo?
3. # of classes per week offered?
4. # of classes you attend per week?
5. Rank of head instuctor?
6. Rank of assistant instructors?
7. Does your dojo rent a building, or sublease space?
8. Cost per month?
Quick martial arts dojo survey. Questions in detail section.?
1. 8 forms martial arts (karate, aikido, judo, kung fu, tai chi, ship palgae, samurai sword %26amp; bagua)
2. approx 25' x 80'
3. (6) classes for adults
4. try for 5 usually 4
5. 3rd dan
6. 1st - 2nd dan
7. sublease space

I'm training for my health, not for the ranking nor the complete mastery of each style.
Reply:Art one:
1.) Aikido (Aikikai)
2.) 50x30 ft. (best guess, never actually measured the mat)
3.) 18 (2 kid's, 1 teen's, 2 weapons, 1 ukemi, 2 open mat, 10 adult's)
4.) depends... but for me, its usually between 4 and 9 per week depending on my schedule.
5.) 2 Rokudans (a married couple) - they have regular classes or teach whenever they are there for class
6.) Those having scheduled teaching responsibilities in the kid's, teen's and adult classes - 2 Yondans, 3 Sandans, 1 Nidan (he is probably the most naturally proficient student in the dojo - he just hasn't tested in a long time)
Those who fill in regularly for adult class - too many Shodans and Nidans and Sandans to list; the senior student teaches class
Those who fill in or assist with kid's and teen classes - 3 Shodans, 1 Nikyu (that would be me - I always get there early for class after work and used to be invited to help out. Now, I'm a regular assistant or lead class myself)
7.) Neither - the building is owned by Senseis.
8.) 65 for adults, no contract, flat rate regardless how often you attend with discounts for students and kids.
Art 2:
1.) Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu Karate
2.) 50x50 ft. (again a guess - never measured)
3.) 4 (when I studied that is)
4.) 2
5.) Rank - Godan, Title - Renshi
6.) 2 Sandans, 1 Nidan, 2 Shodans
7.) Subleased then later owned - Sensei converted an old barn on his own land into dojo space.
8.) I have no idea. At the time I was a student at that school, my parents were paying for me - it was when I was between 8 and 16 years old. I do know it was a 3 month term flat rate though.
