February 16th-19th, 2024, Port Hardy, BC.

A Kangeiko is a winter training intensive.  There will be a myriad of classes and lots of social time - beginner friendly.  Come join the fun!

The last instructor to visit Port Hardy, up at the northern end of Vancouver Island, was Kawahara Sensei.  Andrew Hory Sensei has kept both aikido and Raincoast Martial Arts alive in Port Hardy through all the ups and downs experienced by small dojos for - quite a long time. Oh, and let’s not forget COVID. So he’s overdue for a little support and aiki gratitude!

And if helping out a fellow dojo isn’t enough reason to get you up there, just remember: you never know what awaits you unless you answer that call to adventure.

Special Guest Instructor
Bob Moline, 6th dan, of Victoria Aikikai

Guest instructors
Ramin Arvin, 5th dan, of Vancouver West Aikikai
Grant Babin, 5th dan, of Aikidaily International
