Authentic Yoshinkan Aikido Training
About Us
Aikido Yoshinkai Ottawa (AYO) provides instruction in Yoshinkan Aikido: A rigorous style of Aikido recognized for its structured approach to learning, explosive power, and strong emphasis on effective self-defense techniques.
Aikido Yoshinkai Ottawa was founded in 1993, and is a member school of Aikido Yoshinkai Canada.
Step Into Change
Yoshinkan Aikido is non-competitive and uses a collaborative approach to training. Deep skill and self-mastery emerge as a result of consistent, mindful training.
Yoshinkan Aikido is non-violent and does not depend on strength. Drop by to watch or try a class. We practice on the second floor of the Takahashi Dojo. Ages 14+ welcome.
