Gastown Aikikai was established as a dojo in downtown Vancouver in January 2011 to concentrate on Hombu-style instruction with an emphasis on more advanced techniques. Though modest in scale, our dojo desires to contribute to a robust future for Aikido in Canada by making additional advanced training available. We are a Canadian Aikido Federation affiliate dojo.
Members are drawn mainly from word of mouth and through introductions by existing members. Our students include men and women of Dan and Kyu ranks who want to train hard in a fun, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. However, safety in practice is paramount, particularly in advanced practice, so our dojo aims to foster the development of individuals already above the beginner level.
Classes are generally held for about one and a half to two hours each Sunday, followed by social time off the mat.
We usually practice Sundays at 10:45,
but call to check if you don't get our email announcements.
Ishiyama Sensei will be teaching May 27, 11:00-12:00 and 12:15-1:15!
Fee is $20 for both classes. Social time to follow at a local pub.
We are located in the downtown eastside of Vancouver. Fees are $100 per term, with a 20% discount for students and a 50% discount for people outside the GVRD.
Please call 604-813-2515 for information.
