AikidoBC Vancouver

Aikido BC is a martial arts club with locations in Maple Ridge and Vancouver. As a member of the club i have access to both clubs. The lead instructor Keith Taylor is a 7th Dan in Yoshinkan Aikido which is the specific style being taught. What I like about Sensei Taylor is his attention to detail and the fact he knows other Martial arts and shares that knowledge as well. I gave the club 5 stars due to the price being very good, the people in the club are great to train with and the environment is safe. Classes are available for kids and adults several times at week at convenient times. If you are interested in learning a martial art this is an exceptional choice with great instructors.

My two kids love it here, we've been going to the Maple Ridge dojo for about 4 years now. I see the kids developing a lot of balance, stamina and mental discipline, also they like the fun and games they play at the end of class. For myself it's an interesting journey, I'm in better shape now then 5 years ago and I learned a lot from the instructors, Keith Taylor shihan and sensei Tony Rodney, both very knowledgeable and experienced in different other martial arts. Very welcoming environment, access to the Vancouver dojo as well where I had the opportunity of studying with some amazing instructors, I should mention here Andrew McBride sensei who studied many years under Yasuhisa Shioda Soke.

I've trained at the maple ridge dojo for almost 2 years. It's one of the more affordable Martial arts. Membership allows training in the Vancouver and maple ridge dojo. You can literally train 6 days a week if you like. Great dojo and great people. Aikido has an amazing philosophy as well.

Cool looking place. Fun to watch people getting tossed from a distance.
