Schedule

Students are encouraged to arrive at the dojo 15 to 30 minutes before class starts to allow adequate time to change and socialize. Seiza line-up begins exactly 5 minutes before class time.

Regular Aikido Classes

The dojo is closed on statutory holidays. When a stat holiday falls on a Monday or Wednesday, an announcement will be made as to when that missed kids’ class will be held.

Special Classes: Iaido, Kenshu (Aikido) and Karate

• Iaido: One weekly class in Japanese Sword (Iaido). Yoshinkan Aikido is based on the Japanese sword, so this class will be highly complementary to your aikido training.
• Kenshu aikido class: Currently one class per month, Kenshu means “research”. In this class we will delve into “Riai” or logical explanation behind a technique. In Japan, Kenshu was traditionally taken by Uchi Deshi and those taking their Instructor Training as well as anyone else who wished to deepen their knowledge and bring their training to a higher level.
• Karate: One class per week in Shorin Ryu Karate
