Our children’s classes are for ages 6 and up. Kids 13 and older may start aikido in the adult class, depending on their maturity level. Emphasis is on good discipline and healthy attitude while enjoying a fun and rigorous practice. Drop by any of our children’s classes to watch or participate. Find out more
Our adult classes focus on proper technique and mental focus as well as overall fitness and flexibility. Calgary Aikikai welcomes persons of any age, gender or ability. New students may come and watch any class, and may also participate in up to four classes free of charge to see how they like it.
Since 1980, Calgary Aikikai has trained hundreds of students in this martial art that is both a practical self-defence and form of creative movement. We believe that the best way to learn is through enjoyable and spirited practice, with an emphasis on traditional techniques.

Congratulations go out to Akinori on his successful completion of his yonkyu test (forth kyu) on Saturday, May 2nd. Keep up the hard work Akinori!
Aikinori has a unique ability to be taught something and almost immediately be able to apply it technically. He is a dedicated student and is focused on precise movements. His methodical technique during the test was a lesson all students could practice.
