Aikido for adults
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.
Calgary Aikikai
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.
Our friends at BigRock Aikikai will be hosting an aikido seminar on November 8th & 9th with Fran Turner Sensei, sixth dan and chief instructor at the Aikido Shugyo Dojo of Toronto. Further information about this exciting event can be found on BigRock Aikikai’s website.
A reminder to all members that we will be having kyu testing on Saturday, November 1st. If you wish to test, please assess the number of days you have practiced since your last test and speak with one of the senseis about testing. The Pre-test occurs on Monday, October 20th. Train hard and good luck.
Here is some more great footage of Shirakawa Ryuji sensei showing clear bokken and hand techniques. It will be great to see and learn from this young Sensei in our upcoming aikido seminar the weekend of the September 12 to 14th.
