Aikido Calgary Aikikai, an aikido community

Welcome back kids! Aikido classes for children resume in September with the first class starting on Wednesday, September 1st. Starting in September parents wishing to enroll their children can do so at our dojo location on Wednesday (6:30pm) and Saturday (10:45am) of each week.

Additional information on fees can be found on our website or if you have any questions please email us at or call us directly at (403) 243-9880.

We look forward to seeing all the kids back from summer holidays.

On Sunday April 25th Calgary Aikikai participated in a Calgary-wide kids aikido camp. Children from four dojos across Calgary participated at the Southland Leisure Centre where they got to go swimming, participate in three 45 minute aikido sessions and have a lot of fun. In total 98 students came out for this free event. This joint venture would not have been possible without gracious support of all four dojos. Big thanks go out to Tanren Juku, Aikido Dai Etsu Dojo, Big Rock Aikikai and to all the parents, volunteers and senseis that helped make this event a success. Thank you.

It was great to see Igarashi sensei this past weekend. As always Igarashi sensei put on a thought provoking seminar mixed humour and insight into training in aikido.

Thank you to all who came out and trained and Thank you Igarashi sensei. We will see you again in August.

A big congratulations goes out to Todd Lachance, Andrew Barron and Chris Hayward. Todd and Andrew successfully tested for Nidan and Chris for Sandan. Stay tuned for the upcoming promotion celebration. Nice job guys.
