About Toronto Aikido Centre

Aikido is considered a non-aggressive style of Martial Art. However the Yoshinkan method is considered to be an extremely effective method for use in self defense. We combine the best of defence and offence to develop all round pupils. At Toronto Aikido Centre, all our instructors are registered in Japan. Our Head Instructor is Alan Shumak, a 6th Dan, who teaches his students how to respond to an assault simply by redirecting the aggressor’s force in order to deprive him or her of balance. Classes are open for everyone, regardless of age and level of ability. And if you're not sure if Aikido is for you, feel welcome to drop by and try a free trial class.
