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!

Everything is Aikido, right?
“Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher.” —Morihei Ueshiba

🔥Sat. May 23 2-3pm at Norwood Park (Gerrard st East x Norwood Rd)🔥

💥The goal of Aikido training is to neutralize aggression, control the attacker and protect all parties involved. Rather than meeting force with force, the arts focus on blending with an opponent’s energy, redirecting it and to produce the result they require 💥
