Our Mission

The heart of a human being is no different from the soul of heaven and earth. In your practice always keep in your thoughts the interaction of heaven and earth, water and fire, yin and yang. - Morihei Ueshiba

Our mission is to provide students of the BC Aikido Federation with unparalleled instruction in the Martial Art of Aikido by:

• Providing a safe and relaxed atmosphere for new and experienced students to learn and grow;
• Teaching a solid foundation of Basic Movements and Basic Techniques which serve as the foundation for the students’ continued growth and learning at low and higher
• Developing discipline, self-confidence, and self-control
• Providing the inner strength to develop a healthy body, mind, and natural reflexes;
• Fostering an open-minded environment and offering a variety of programs to broaden the understanding of Martial Arts in general;
• Providing a space to practice for anyone in a non-competitive atmosphere. We are looking to improve ourselves through non-violent practice; no one needs to be athletic to start training in Aikido.
