Vancouver West Aikikai is a traditional Japanese martial arts school located in Vancouver, dedicated to the practice of Aikido, also known as the Art of Peace. Aikido is a martial art focused on personal development, promoting harmony and balance in mind and body. The art of Aikido teaches individuals how to resolve conflicts peacefully by harmonizing with an attacker's force to neutralize it, rather than using brute strength.
The philosophy of Aikido is rooted in the concept of universal energy, known as KI, making it accessible to individuals of all fitness levels. Vancouver West Aikikai welcomes students of all backgrounds and experience levels to explore the depth of this art and continue their journey of self-discovery.
The dojo offers various training opportunities, including special events like seminars and introductory courses for those curious about Aikido. Vancouver West Aikikai is affiliated with SFU Aikikai and offers classes at St. Philip's Gym and St. Mary's Kerrisdale Gym in Vancouver.
Whether you are new to martial arts or looking to deepen your practice, Vancouver West Aikikai provides a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals to learn and grow. Join us on the path to personal development and harmony through the practice of Aikido at Vancouver West Aikikai.
