“Your spirit is the true shield.” – Morihei Ueshiba
Aikido Shugyo Dojo is a non-profit martial arts club that has been a centre for Aikido training in Toronto’s east end since 1985.
Aikido is a non-competitive Japanese martial art that uses the energy of the attack and circles it back onto the attacker. It does not rely on strength or body size to be effective. Training in Aikido helps you develop balance, flexibility, coordination, strength, good judgement and self control.
Our dojo teaches both open-handed and Aikido weapon techniques to adults and children. We always welcome new and visiting students in both children and adult classes.
Aikido Shugyo Dojo is a Canadian branch member of Aikido Shinseikai, Kumamoto, Japan.
