We're excited to host BCAF Shochugeiko (mid-summer intensive training) in Squamish again this year—from July 25 to 27!
Registration is now open!

We’re thrilled to welcome two new BC Shidoins as guest instructors:

  • Valentine Kabanets Shidoin from Vancouver West Aikikai

  • Martin Moreau Shidoin from Rock Water Aikikai

There will also be a kids class on Saturday for students who are orange belt and up or 8 years old and older. This class will be led by Ella Moreau Sensei,  who started Aikido at age 7 and has been supporting the kids program in her dojo for many years. Ella—is going to be a great inspiration for our young students! 

This amazing class will be followed by a youth/adult class led by Martin Sensei, a long-time kids' instructor and strong supporter of youth in Aikido across Canada.
