We practise Kobukan (prewar Aikido) influenced martial and dynamic Aikido while following “The Spirit of Aikido.” Aikido is a non-competitive Japanese martial art that uses the energy of the attack and circles it back onto the aggressor. It does not rely on upper body muscle strength or body size to be effective. Training in Aikido helps you develop balance, flexibility, coordination, spatial awar

eness, strength, good judgement and self control. AIKIDO SHUGYO DOJO is a non-profit martial art club that has been a centre for Aikido training in Toronto’s east end since 1985. Our dojo teaches both open-handed and Aikido weapons techniques to adults and children. You are welcome to try a free class or come to watch All Levels and Children's classes!

One of many exercises to develop your Kokyu-ryoku skills (…and patience!). Allow uke/practice partner to grab your wrist. Release tension in your shoulder, arm, and wrist without collapsing, maintaining your center throughout.

Students begin their Aikido training by learning fundamental safety, proper posture and stances, basic repositioning skills, controlled relaxation of the arms and upper body, safe ukemi/falling, some Aikido terms, and the dojo etiquettes.
Sensory overload??
Don’t worry 😉 we will build that up step by step and with lots of repetition.
