CAF Fall Seminar with Hayato Osawa Shihan

We are excited to invite our Aikido community to beautiful Squamish, British Columbia, for the Canadian Aikido Federation Fall Seminar with Hayato Osawa Shihan (8th Dan) from the Aikikai World Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.

This seminar is especially meaningful for us, as it also marks Aikidaily's 10th anniversary. We can think of no better way to celebrate this milestone than by welcoming friends from across Canada to train together, reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and share an unforgettable weekend of Aikido.

Whether you've attended many national seminars or this will be your first, we hope you'll consider making the trip. Squamish is surrounded by spectacular mountains, forests, and ocean, making it a wonderful destination to extend your stay and enjoy everything the Sea to Sky Corridor has to offer.

Early bird registration is available until August 31st, so we encourage everyone to register early.

For complete seminar information—including registration, schedule, accommodations, transportation, and CAF bursary opportunities—please visit:

We are also excited to announce that Aikidaily 10th Anniversary commemorative T-shirts will be available soon. Keep an eye out for details—we hope you'll help us celebrate this special occasion.

Rie and I are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Squamish this October. Safe travels, great training, and wonderful company await.

We can't wait to see you on the mat!
