We are an autonomous non-profit society based in Canada, dedicated to developing harmony through Ki  (‘love or universal spirit’) in daily life through Aikido training.

Senshin is a Japanese term meaning ‘purified spirit’ or ‘enlightened mind or attitude’ and is the fifth and final stage of the Five Spirits of Budō (in Aikido, the peaceful warrior’s path of self-purification) which are: beginner’s mind (Shoshin), no-mind (Mushin), immovable mind (Fudoshin), continuous mind/presence (Zanshin) and Senshin.

In Ki Aikido there is no aggression, tension or competition. The purpose of training is to: develop a strong, confident and individual spirit; to learn to extend our power fully and live more fearlessly; and to be a positive force in every aspect of our lives. In the dojo we provide an enjoyable and friendly setting in which we can discover the nature of Aikido for ourselves (the path of love/reconciliation) through principles of coordination of mind & body. We train to focus and stabilize our mind/body with a relaxed, confident and extended feeling, to allow us to blend harmoniously with our partner’s movements.

Through the exercises we develop a feeling of the principles of Ki (universal energy) and Aiki to more effortlessly handle the stresses of daily life. Classes are suitable for all levels of fitness and are accessible to young adults (15yrs) and up of of any size or ability.
