Calgary Kids Spring Aikido Camp

Kids aikido camp

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.

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