Shohei Juku Aikido Canada

I live in Victoria but have visited this dojo several times, and have also attended their seminars. Tama Sensei is an excellent teacher. She is also very friendly and helpful. The senior students (black belts) are also friendly and experienced. Although I have just been a visitor on a few occasions they have always made me feel welcome at their dojo, and haven't been intimidated by training with someone coming from a different style/dojo (as long as that person doesn't injure people). They train in a way that is safe and I like seeing that there many women in the classes which isn't usually the case here in Victoria. The visiting teachers are also very good (not only are they good at Aikido but they are also good at teaching and presenting information in an organized way to students). I wish Vancouver and Victoria weren't so far away and I could train with them more often. :)

As a new comer to Canada with 7 years practicing Aikido, I found this Dojo a real peaceful martial art place to practice Aikido. Tama Sensei is a great one in teaching Aikido and you will always find new things to learn in top level. I enjoy practicing in such a friendly atmosphere and recommend it to everyone looking for soft martial art.

I have been a part of this dojo for many years and it is one of the most open and welcoming places I have ever been. People of all levels come to practice and learn under the guidance of our amazing Sensei. I cannot recommend it enough! Come train with us!

I've been practicing Aikido for about 20 years now, and I can say for sure this dojo is special. The sensei "Tama Sensei" has this awesome positive energy, a really hard-core Japanese-English blended way of speaking, and by far the most exceptional skill. The dojo itself is exceptionally well placed, on the top floor overlooking the park. It's traditional Japanese at its best. Very casual and flexible, so check it out. There's no special protocols for beginners to worry about, just go.

Great place to learn with positive and supportive Sensei(s). I always feel very good after each class! Tama sensei is not only a great teacher, but her smile and positive energy is always in the dojo!

Thank you!
