Additional Information and FAQs

  • What type of classes do you have and when are they held?
    We have Aikido, Weapons, Iaido and Iaijutsu classes.
    These are held at the dojo most of the time, but on the first Saturday of the month Weapons classes take place outdoors at High Park from 10:00 to 11:30 am and all classes at the dojo are canceled that day. If due to bad weather classes cannot be held outdoors, then classes at the dojo are reinstated.
