Georgetown Aikido Inc.

In the heart of Georgetown, Georgetown Aikido Inc. stands as a reputable martial arts school dedicated to the practice and teachings of Aikido. Aikido, a martial art originating from Japan, focuses on harmonizing with opposing forces rather than combatting them. The circular and spherical movements of Aikido are used to redirect opposing forces, emphasizing cooperation, harmony, timing, and control over aggression and strength.

Georgetown Aikido Inc. welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and skill levels who are interested in studying Aikido. Celebrating 33 years in Georgetown, the school offers a range of classes for both kids and adults throughout the week. Kids aged 6-12 can train three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, while adults and young adults have classes on the same days.

The kids' classes are mixed, allowing parents to train alongside their children in a family-friendly environment.

In addition to regular classes, Georgetown Aikido Inc. also offers special events and workshops. Starting in Fall 2023, an applied Aikido class dedicated to self-defence will be introduced, covering practical defence strategies against common types of physical assaults in a safe and informative setting. The school values community, discipline, and personal growth, embodying the essence of Aikido principles.

With a rich history rooted in the feudal age and the Samurai, Aikido has evolved into a respected martial art known for its focus on self-defence and nonviolence. The teachings of Aikido stem from the Samurai's pursuit of martial arts and discipline, ultimately leading to the development of various styles of unarmed combat, including Aiki-jujitsu.

Georgetown Aikido Inc. honours these traditions while providing a modern and inclusive space for individuals to learn, grow, and practice the art of Aikido. Join us at Georgetown Aikido Inc. and embark on a journey of self-discovery, physical fitness, and martial arts mastery.
