“It is necessary 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.”

There are widely recognized benefits to be derived from practicing Aikido.

The focus is on basic techniques, movements, philosophy and etiquette.  Beginners must attend 12 introductory classes to be awarded a Level 1 Certificate and another 12 introductory classes to be awarded a Level 2 Certificate respectively.  Upon receiving their Level 2 Certificate, beginners are offered full (regular) membership at Victoria Aikido Centre and may attend any classes appropriate for their level of proficiency.  Regular adult classes are offered 6 days a week.

“As the children progress through the Aikido levels they are given opportunities to take on leadership roles. They are supported through this by the instructors who give them direction while letting them learn to practice. It was great to see these kids flourish in these roles and take pride in their achievements.”
