Shohei Juku Aikido Canada

I have been a part of this dojo for many years and it is one of the most open and welcoming places I have ever been. People of all levels come to practice and learn under the guidance of our amazing Sensei. I cannot recommend it enough! Come train with us!

I live in Victoria but have visited this dojo several times, and have also attended their seminars. Tama Sensei is an excellent teacher. She is also very friendly and helpful. The senior students (black belts) are also friendly and experienced. Although I have just been a visitor on a few occasions they have always made me feel welcome at their dojo, and haven't been intimidated by training with someone coming from a different style/dojo (as long as that person doesn't injure people). They train in a way that is safe and I like seeing that there many women in the classes which isn't usually the case here in Victoria. The visiting teachers are also very good (not only are they good at Aikido but they are also good at teaching and presenting information in an organized way to students). I wish Vancouver and Victoria weren't so far away and I could train with them more often. :)

Excellent Traditional Aikikai Aikido. Tama Sensei is friendly, respectful, highly qualified and an great teacher. She is a rare combination of a 6th dan (Degree) martial artist with a powerful technique and a humble and friendly Sensei passionate about teaching Aikido.All black belts are also friendly and well qualified. The Dojo has a great atmosphere and the pricing is very modest (especially when you think of all that you get).I would recommend this Dojo to any visitor or serious martial artists in the Vancouver area.

As a new comer to Canada with 7 years practicing Aikido, I found this Dojo a real peaceful martial art place to practice Aikido. Tama Sensei is a great one in teaching Aikido and you will always find new things to learn in top level. I enjoy practicing in such a friendly atmosphere and recommend it to everyone looking for soft martial art.
