Aikidaily as it happens.
Our schedule will be changed as follows from January 6th.
Unfortunately, we need to cancel the noon Monday noon until the beginning of February as we will be back teaching at Skyridge Montessori School in the new year on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for 5 weeks. The Monday neen classes will resume the second week of February, on the 10th.
Aikidaily would like to acknowledge our Chief Instructor, Grant Sensei, on his promotion to 5th Dan!
We appreciate his dedication, guidance and the support he offers his students and community.
We would like to further acknowledge the sensei and senpai who have guided Grant sensei over the years, and the greater Aikido community for their support and encouragement.
From September 5th, our schedule will change as below.
From July 3, our schedule will change to summer schedule as below.
Please help us with our fundraiser!
Four of our teens are going to Calgary for a teen leadership retreat in August hosted by Big Rock Aikikai. This is a great opportunity for our students to learn leadership skills that they can bring back to the dojo. A large group of teens from Victoria will also be joining us, as well as a few other guests from other dojos. Our objective is to bring the costs to families to zero. Our goal is to raise $2500.
