Vancouver Japanese Language School–Japanese Hall: Japanese Hall

Shoheijuku Aikido Canada was established to promote the art of Aikido as taught by Morito Suganuma Sensei (Aikikai 8th Dan), based in Fukuoka, Japan. The organization offers Aikido classes for all levels, including programs for children. Its main dojo is located at Trout Lake Community Centre in East Vancouver, with additional locations in Surrey and on the Sunshine Coast. 

Their demonstration will begin with a brief warm-up led by Tamami Nakashimada, 6th Dan and chief dojo instructor. Students will then pair up to demonstrate a range of techniques, including responses to strikes and grabs in the roles of Uke (attacker) and Nage (defender). The demonstration will also include advanced techniques such as rolling, disarming, and methods of self-protection.
