45th Anniversary Aikido Seminar – Igarashi, Friedl, Shirakawa – August 29 – 31, 2025

Calgary Aikikai’s 40th Anniversary came and went in 2020 and so we’re happy to announce that we’ll be celebrating the legacy of Inaba Sensei’s vision with our 45th Anniversary instead! We are beyond excited to welcome the three sensei who have nurtured us since our founder’s passing, for the first and likely only time. This is an aikido event not to be missed.
