Discover Your Inner Power

Ai means HARMONY -- Ki means ENERGY or SPIRIT -- Do means PATH or WAY -- The British Columbia Aikido Federation is a non-profit organization established to support and promote Aikikai-style Aikido in British Columbia. We are a member of the Canadian Aikido Federation and the Aikikai Foundation (Aikido World Headquarters, Tokyo, Japan). The BCAF offers Aikido classes in a safe, friendly, and constructive manner to youths ages 8 and up, and adults of all ages. Our goal is not only to preserve the art of Aikido in its original form, but to ensure that our community has access to this highly unique and traditional Japanese martial art.

CAF Fall Seminar with Osawa sensei

Kelowna, BC, All Day

This year's Fall Seminar will be held in Kelowna, BC.  The exact dates are October 25 to October 27.  Traditionally, registration for the Fall Seminar will take place after the conclusion of the Summer Camp.  Please check the CAF website periodically.  
However, the Okanagan Aikido team has been busy securing reasonable accommodation for the Fall Seminar. The Siesta Suites in Kelowna set up a group block of 40 rooms with a $20 nightly discount. They will be holding the rooms and room rate until September 25, They have not  set rates for the end of October yet, but expect a modest increase to their current low-season range of $119-$194 per night before taxes.
Happy Training and we hope so see you for both CAF events.
