“It is neccessary to develop a strategy that utilizes all the physical conditions and elements that are directly at hand.  The best strategy relies upon an unlimited set of responses.”

“I am the mother of three daughters between the ages of eight and 20 years. All three of my girls have been involved in Aikido over the last 12 years. When the girls started training Aikido at the Victoria Aikido Centre we noticed with each of them that they had an improvement in their grades and theirfocused attention span. The instruction from the volunteer instructors has been very valuable to our family and our children. The instruction focuses on respect for one another, discipline, self-esteem, character building and of course there is lots of fun.”
