We are a traditional martial arts dojo that offers training in Aikido. Aikido is a grappling art involving joint locks and throws developed by Morihei Ueshiba (O’Sensei, right) in the 1920’s.
Aikido practice is under the direction of chief instructor Charles Aarons and assistant instructor Norine Longmire Aarons. Classes are available for the beginner to advanced – for adults as well as children.

When seeking a martial art teacher, look for someone who inspires and challenges you to step out of your comfort zone – one who supports your growth and development in the art – not one who supports old habits.
Aikido Takayama has been through several transformations since it opened its doors in 1989. As Mission Aikido and the Fraser Valley Aikikai until 2003, Sensei Aarons has been dedicated to bring the art of Aikido to this community for over 20 years. As a proud member of Birankai North America we became Aikido Takayama and in 2008 found a space fully dedicated to the practice of Aikido.
All are welcome.
