Vancouver Eishin Ryu Iaido Club - Marpole Dojo: what do users think?
Victa Li: UBC location is closer to me but I had the opportunity to drop in at Marpole a few times. Can find people with various experience which is very nice. From beginners to intermediate levels and then the folks who have been practicing for many years, it felt very easy to connect to the people at this dojo. Also at summer time there is air conditioning, which is a big bonus during heat waves.
Tommy Do: Very friendly club members here at Marpole. They are very accepting of new iaido trainees. I have been training here since April of 2022 and it has been a blast learning the ways of iaido. I would recommend this activity to anyone who would like to try out iaido.
Alex Johnson: I’ve been part of the dojo since January 2012 and continue to enjoy learning Iaido from Inoue Sensei and fellow students. It is a great place to learn and practice iaido and has always been welcoming to new students while holding to high standards of direct and unaltered transmission of iaido from one generation to the next. Top notch dojo. Anyone who wants to try out iaido is welcome!
ミスタードーナツ: I've been with the club since 2006, great class, great group of people. I started at the UBC Dojo, but now primarily practice at the Marpole location simply because it's closer to home.
Yixiong Pan: I have been practicing iaido at this Dojo for a couple of months. At this place, you will not only learn Iaido Waza(techniques) but also have a chance to learn about Japanese culture and make new friends. Friendly people, they are thrilled to share iaido knowledge with you.
Christian Pencz: It has a wonderful space, plenty of free parking in the area, and great location. It has been an eye opening experience for me attending Iaido and I am so thankful to the students/teachers for a welcoming and enthusiastic experience. Highly recommend trying a class if you love katanas or want a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture.
samuraiaccountant: I occasionally practice here, and everyone is very good, and the environment and atmosphere they foster is very conducive for personal physical and spiritual growth.
Lawrence Wong: Excellent club, everyone is very friendly, knowledgeable and very skilled.Facilities are great, there is lots of parking, the dojo is spacious, and the air conditioning is very welcome in the summer.
w w: I have been practiced iaido at this place for two years. I liked the people here. They are so nice and awesome. Sensei (teacher) is awesome too!!! He's experienced and so nice to everyone. I really like Iaido and would like to continue to practice at this place.
J Q: I've been practicing here for many years - it's a good group and the people are friendly. The facility itself is good, lots of free parking too in the area.

Vancouver Eishin Ryu Iaido Club - UBC Dojo: what do users think?
Mikhail Faiguenblat: UBC Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaido Club is a great place to learn an authentic Japanese sword art. I live in USA, but I have trained with Inoue Sensei and his students on many occasions (both in-person and also on Zoom during pandemic), and would recommend UBC iaido to any of my friends. UBC is an official dojo World MJER Iaido Federation, founded by Esaka Seigen Sensei, and many UBC iaido members travel to Japan regularly to train, which is why their iaido is so good. Besides excellent technique, I have also always noticed that everyone from UBC iaido has a very friendly attitude and I am very happy to have them as my friends. It is truly a great dojo!
Alex Johnson: I’ve been part of the dojo since January 2012 and continue to enjoy learning Iaido from Inoue Sensei and fellow students. It is a great place to learn and practice iaido and has always been welcoming to new students while holding to high standards of direct and unaltered transmission of iaido from one generation to the next. I’ve been so fortunate to make lots of friends through Iaido and have had the opportunity to practice several times in Japan at our head dojo. The Vancouver Iaido club is a top notch dojo. Anyone who wants to try out iaido is welcome!
Victa Li: Location is within UBC rec centre and it is very convenient to go to iaido classes after school. Senior students and teachers are very knowledgeable of the field. Classes are divided into groups after a whole class warmup to meet individual students' experience and skill level. And for absolute beginners, sensei always guides them with great patience and explanations 👍
ミスタードーナツ: Been with the club since 2006, great place to learn a 400 year old art. I started at the UBC dojo, now I study at both at UBC and the Marole location.
EY Yang: Mindful meditation with a sword! Hiro-sensei and the senior senpai's are an amazing group of people to learn from and train with. Welcoming atmosphere, lots of individualized attention, and lessons tailored to all skill levels. You also get the opportunity to do fun activities with the club such as demonstrations for local community events. Highly recommended!
w w: Nice place. Nice people. Club members are very focus on iaido practice and we learn from each other. Parking is convenient. Big changing room.
samuraiaccountant: Great place to lean how a centuries-old martial art on how to properly use a katana, and also to develop yourself in the process! How cool is that? One thing that makes it worthwhile to go all the way to UBC.
Henry Chan: Started at the Marpole dojo in 2014, and now at UBC dojo. Through practicing iaido, it felt like I was able to learn to appreciate the Japanese culture through a deeper lense. Great way to practice mindfulness and concentration. It's been a really awesome journey and met lots of cool people in these short years. Huge thank you for sensei and everyone for helping me improve myself!
howard tu: It's a great place to learn and practice! I am a 3 month old newbie. Thanks so much to my Sensei and my classmates here for helping me grow and enjoy the art of Iaido :)

Vancouver Dojo: what do users think?
Richard Cunningham: I came to this Dojo to learn Tai Chi in a way that honours its martial heritage - Lucas does not disappoint! Self defence, active meditation, and physical activity all in one.
MIGUEL MARTINEZ CEJA: Parents/Children class is great for everyone. You must give it a try to keep the little ones excited and active.Very warm and welcoming group.
Matt Inkredamine: I love Vancouver dojo! Sensei Lucas has a really great way of teaching that makes learning martial arts a good mix of fun, but also seriousness.I have learned many new skills and doing the Tai Chi classes has benefited both my mind and body.Thanks Vancouver Dojo!
Pete Giesbrecht: I am very happy to hear that they will not discriminate.Stay strong!!
Lydia Hentschel: I train here with my young daughter - it's perfect for us and doesn't fall into any of the negative stereotypes that surround a lot of North American martial arts training. The instructor is very even and relaxed - he wants you to succeed and will push you to a degree that he knows is appropriate for the individual, but there are no overly "macho" or "militaristic-like" attitudes here. He keeps it a friendly and safe environment for everyone and doesn't let anyone's ego go unchecked.The dojo offers three types of classes: adult karate, adult tai chi, and kids (plus parents if they'd like) classes. My daughter and I attend the karate classes, while my partner attends the tai chi class. The tai chi taught here is real tai chi - it's not just a type of exercise class, it's a proper martial art and you will be taught how to apply the techniques to defend yourself. In the summer, and if the weather is good, there is also a combined tai chi/karate class on the weekends that is held in a nearby park which makes for a great change of pace.Overall, if you're looking for a great place to train and become part of a small dojo family, this a perfect place to do it.
Alex Hentschel: Our entire family (two adults, one kid) have been training at the Vancouver Dojo for a couple of years now and we have had a very positive experience. It's a smaller dojo with a personal and friendly atmosphere.I am participating in the Tai Chi training. It's a great balance between learning and refining the Tai Chi forms, but also learning the underlying applications originating from martial arts.
Paul Breau: Sensei Lucas is an experienced and supportive martial arts instructor. The Vancouver Dojo is an excellent place to practice traditional karate and tai chi. My daughter and I have practiced karate at the Vancouver Dojo for the past two years. We enjoy developing our skills and have made lasting friendships with other students. Sensei Lucas works with each student and helps them discover their own best potential. If you're thinking about studying a martial art like Karate, Jujutsu, or Tai Chi, I highly recommend Sensei Lucas and the Vancouver Dojo.
Dave Gowans: I've been training here for 8 yrs now and my 11 year old daughter for 3 yrs. Sensei Lucas is a kind, knowledgeable and skilled martial artist an excellent teacher. He is great with kids, encouraging them to reach new heights of confidence both mentally and physically. As a parent and a student I suggest you try this dojo if you are interested in a traditional style of Karate for yourself or for children.
LS: So thankful for a dojo and community of this calibre on the west side!

Academie Duello: what do users think?
Tetiana Kirian: We had an outing with colleagues and everyone really enjoyed axe throwing, was really fun. The Academie Duello's team is a very approachable, getting in touch and replying very fast and helped promptly with all organization of the event. Thanks!
Michael Labbé: Axe throwing bachelor parties are fun here. Exceeded our expectations. They set us up for a great time. Thanks!
Wilson Y: We took a private archery course with Pierre and a private duellist course with Delaney. They were great instructors and we had a lot of fun. Although it was only an hour each, we learned a lot about each discipline. Compared to our archery experience with another vendor, this experience was miles ahead! We got to shoot three different types of bows and learned to use the force! =)
Lorraine Sims: Our instructor, Fox, was excellent. He provided careful step-by-step guidance to make us feel confident in learning archery and swordplay. The Duello facility is exciting, with multiple activities. It is well-organized and provides an awesome Medieval experience. We had a lot of fun. It stretched our minds and bodies.
Walker: Academie Duello is more than just a martial arts school, it's a community of interesting, decent folks who share a wildly engaging sport. If you have any interest in swords or Medieval history, you should stop in for a visit and stick around for a free class.
Robin .B: Had a ton of fun with the 90 minute axe throwing experience at Academie Duello on Saturday night with my partner and my 2 older brothers. Tobias (maybe Travis? but I'm pretty sure I heard Tobias so idk: shorter blondish person with a great sense of humor and taste in music :P ) and Erin were fantastic hosts. Tobias was great teacher and was able to accommodate my oldest brother being deaf. They made sure to make my brother feel included and involved in the lessons and activities, which can sometimes be hard to find as many hearing folks will avoid interacting with the deaf person in a group, but Tobias was able to communicate effectively and even make a number of great jokes with him along the way. The whole staff there were very LGBQT+ friendly as well, which made for a very safe and inviting atmosphere. I was also happy to nerd out with them over LotR and ancient roman musical instruments. Would gladly be hosted by them again for future adventures! Academie Duello should be very thankful in the form of living wage compensation (at least) to have two absolute gems working for their company.
Michael Bradley: Booked a private session swinging swords and vanquishing squash. We had a blast! Our instructor, Travis, was great. Super knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Erin Monahan: Such a great experience! A friend and I had a private axe throwing lesson, and it was a blast. Erin was a great (and patient) instructor and assured us we could not accidentally hit the ceiling with an axe. Highly recommend if you want to do something different - but a word of caution... it is way harder than it looks!
Lauren Grout: Had such a great time here! Did the Duellist class with my sister for her birthday, and it’s definitely an experience we’ll never forget. Delaney was our instructor and she was phenomenal, so fun, talented, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this if you want a unique and exciting time! We’ll be back for sure!!
Tiana: Absolutely lovely instructor and environment! Delanie guided me and my sister in duelling for my birthday, and we both had a blast! Definitely will be coming back to try axe throwing next!
Dervla Fowler: Excellent axe throwing experience. All staff were really friendly and helpful. 10/10 would recommend!
Heather Stack: We had an adult archery birthday (with some kids aged 9-12 as well). We all had a blast. The instructor was very knowledgeable and made the event interesting and educational for us all!
Scott Ashton: We did the Warrior Adventure Booking and had a lot of fun. Our instructor Travis was enthusiastic, super informative, and fortunately very patient with us. They have some really interesting museum pieces there, too, which you don't see every day!Looking forward to our next one!
Brandon Kelly: My partner and I did a 1hr archery session as a Valentine’s Day gift. We had Travis and Pierre as instructors. They were both incredibly knowledgeable and a lot of fun. They took time to explain the history of all the different types of bows and the techniques for shooting them. They were both very encouraging and made it an awesome experience! Would highly recommend this as a super fun experience!!
Kory Truong: I really enjoyed my archery experiences here! The staff are so knowledgeable, friendly, and really focus on safety which is important. Travis taught our group both times that I went and he was awesome and encouraging. It was fun to try the three different types of bows and learn about them and their history of use. Would highly recommend!!
Benjamin Epperly: Great facility, wonderful people, awesome skills. Very welcoming.
Sabrina Tran: We had a group of 4 sign up for archery introduction, and Travis was our instructor! Though all of us had different levels of experience with archery, it didn't feel like any of us were left out while Travis was teaching how to use the different bows. I really liked that we had an option to choose our favorites at the end and just shoot. The horseback experience was definitely the highlight! Thanks for such a good time!
Kristi Vanskiver (Whisky Wanderlust): I'll start with the good, Benjamin was our instructor for the day and he was fantastic. He was a great instructor and we had a blast with him.Now the bad. Booking this session was a nightmare. They don't answer their phones or respond to emails in a timely manner. It took over a month for me to hear back from them from my initial email, it was over the holidays so I'll give them a bit of slack for that. But once I booked, I emailed them back within the hour wanting to change my booking and I wasn't able to get a hold of anyone for 36hours. Even when we got a hold of someone they weren't calling because I wanted to change my booking but to confirm the one I had already.This review would be 5 stars for Benjamin alone. We did have a really great experience. But a 1 star for their booking system.
Chris Thurston: My wife and I had a wonderful time at the archery class. The instructor Travis was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, which made our time there a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for something new and exciting to try out in Vancouver.
Corinne Kappeler: The Axe Throwing with Travis, our instructor, was a lot of fun. He made us feel confident to try new strategies and succeed after a few trows. The games at the end turned into a fun competition between me and my partner. We made great memories at Academie Duello. Thank you!
Robbie Morrison: My friend and I had a very enjoyable axe throwing session this week. The Duello facility is well appointed and carries a nice vibe conducive to a fun learning environment. Travis, our instructor, was very friendly, engaging, and kept us safe. Travis’ rich knowledge of Medieval and Early Modern Europe martial arts helped whet our appetite for exploring other Duello offerings at a future visit.

Kel Gibas Nikolic: Very respectful, and good quality!!.
Kostya Zolotarov: Ordered in April, arrived in August.
Naomi Beebe: Wonderful service and product! They were very helpful with my purchase. ありがとうございました!
ミスタードーナツ: Been going to Aoi Budogu for 15 years, definitely my local go-to place for all things Iaido.
Henry Zhang: This is the review about their online shopping experience. I lived in Ontario and had a hard time to find a proper shop for iaido bokuto and kendo accessories and equipment. Well, this is the place for great price and high quality staffs, the bokuto and shinai are been well packed, only take less than 5 days to receive them. I'm looking forward to buy more and more advanced equipment from them in the future.
Ali Andrade: El trato con el cliente es superior a ningún otro establecimiento, la asesoría es súper profesional y el precio es tan bueno como la enorme variedad de productos.
Jerry: Very nice place
Victoria Culbeaux: Yukiko was friendly and super through in helping me pick through the gear I was shopping for. She took her time with me and let me spend some time browsing at their large and beautiful selection of Iaido, iaito, shinken, kendo and other supplies. Best part is they ship anywhere!
Renee Little: Love the friendly and very knowledgeable staff. The shop has an excellent selection and new product frequently comes in.
Tony Yin: Good services
Luis Montemayor: Amazing shop and service
Laurel Gullion: Very friendly and helpful with our first shinai stick for Kendo.
Mark F.: Good prices on their bogu and shinai. Staff is professional.
Dan Gaudi: I went to Vancouver for a quick relaxing trip to get away from CFB Esquimalt, and remembered that my ex girlfriend shopped here for Kendo gear. I saw them at a tournament in Richmond, and figured I'd see for myself what the store might have for me.I did not expect to see how organized the store was, and just how comfortable it was inside. On the outside it looks small, and you'd probably second guess yourself as to whether you actually found it in the first place. I was immediately impressed.The customer service was exemplary, even though I feel like I was being an absolute weirdo and creeping out the lady who served me. Tried her best to recommend things that would suit my physical stature (small manlet).Sorry for making my first ever impression awkward Aoi Budogu, but you earned a 5/5 from me!
Amber Rose: Slow, never responds to emails.ETA: After waiting six months for something I was theoretically supposed to receive in two months, it was the completely wrong thing. And so now I'm apparently supposed to wait for a replacement.This place is a joke. Order clothes or whatever, in stock items, that's probably ok. But anything custom is a waste of money and time with these people.

Vancouver Martial Arts: what do users think?
Jess Bobby: Had to put in my info just to see the class schedule and since then, have been hit with a multipronged attack of text msgs, emails every 2 days, and phone calls. I was interested before, but not anymore...it feels too desperate.And yes, i know the text msgs and emails are automated...but it just creates more work for ppl to actively unsubscribe.
Anne CZ: I only got as far as inquiring about this place so my review is solely based off this experience. I submitted a request through their website to get info about their programs. Shortly after submitting the inquiry request I received both an email and a text message from the instructor Alan. He was quite prompt with his responses and suggested that I drop by the facility to get a tour of the place and more information then. He was also accommodating as his suggested times didn't work for me and he was able to suggest alternate times that worked around my schedule. During this time of figuring out what times would work, I received another email from Vancouver Martial Arts in response to my inquiry. I was a little confused as to why I also received this email but I shrugged it off thinking that maybe it was an automated email that gets sent out to those who inquire from their website. Unfortunately, I ended up changing my mind as I had decided to go ahead with another facility (decided I wanted to do something other than Taekwondo) prior to the tour we scheduled. I gave Alan a heads up that I had changed my mind and he was appreciative of me letting him know. Probably a week after, I received a call from Vancouver Martial Arts asking if I had time to talk - I'm assuming about the programs they offer and I let them know I had went with another facility. I was a little confused as to why I received this call but I have a feeling that there is a lack in communication between the instructor and the people who manage inquiries from the website. I also think that it would be nice for the name of this place to include Taekwondo in it as I was under the assumption that this place offered a variety of martial arts.
Tania Perzoff: My son enjoys his classes with Master Alan and the environment is supportive and inclusive. The bonus is the leadership training students receive in addition to physical fitness. Great, well-rounded approach to teaching Taekwondo.
ada: Eh, not that good tbh. It's worse quality than tkd u could at a community centre.EDIT:If I was able, I would give this dojo 0 stars!Alan is unprofessional - he gives attitude (sighing after helping students that he dislikes) and uses the lower belts as instructors. What I mean by LOWER BELTS, he uses the second to third (so yellow belts to orange belts) least experienced belts. Also, he does not pay the instructors, which is completely unethical!In addition to what was mentioned above, he expects you to learn poomsaes/patterns, kicks, and weapons without teaching you. He gives off an "If you don't learn this, it's not my fault but yours" attitude. Like how dare that I don't know it!He gets mad at you for not coming to ONE teaching day and being late. He expects you to explain why you didn't come. He says he 'understands', but he doesn't.He is the worst instructor in the place. The higher belts (red-black to any of the black belts) are amazing as they can actually teach and their enthusiasm is evident.It completely frustrates me how I can't give 0/5 stars. Please, go to a different dojo.
Lynn Wee: The moment our daughter showed interest in Taekwondo, we looked online and found this place.We had an introduction meeting with Master Alan and he was detailed and experienced based on the number of awards he has received.It has been almost 3 months and my daughter has received her yellow belt and leadership badge. She has also become more focused and listens better. It has also built confidence in her.Master Alan takes note of his students improvements and where needs improving. He treats them as students, our future and not just clients.We as parents love everything about it and definitely would recommend Vancouver Martial Arts to anyone and everyone.
Rylie Chew: I have been going to Vancouver Martial Arts for about 9 years now. I can say that Vancouver Martial Arts teaches more than just punching and kicking. It teaches you leadership, respect, and gives you self confidence. Master Alan has a lot patience, especially when it comes to the younger students. I don’t think my life would be the same without Vancouver Martial Arts!
The a & b Sandhu: Both of my young sons (6 & 4) attend the youth classes here and I feel fortunate to have discovered such an incredible school close to home. Master Azizi is a remarkable teacher of Martial Arts, instilling life lessons of respect, dignity, discipline & perseverance through pearls of wisdom. His classes are highly organized and his level of firm patience with children offers a level of structure all youth require in order to prosper on their journey through life. It’s wonderful to witness my boys experiencing something transformational that I wish I had when I was their age. I highly recommend to all!
Rick Dhanda: I have been attending VMA for the majority of my life now, since the day my mother drove me to the school and signed me up. Since then, I've grown a tremendous appreciation for the martial arts and the way VMA teaches and inspires students. I received my black belt 13 years ago and haven't even considered stopping since. Martial arts is a lifestyle as much as a sport and Dragon Temple is a 5 star school to empower students. VMA is one of the fixtures of my life and I can actually feel the difference from taking even a week's break. In my over 20 years of being a student, I have seen my fellow attendees get healthier, happier, and more equipped to deal with the rigours of adult life. I cannot recommend this school and practice enough.
Dominic Chiu: Master Azizi has a tremendous talent for teaching and bringing out the best in his students. His professionalism and passion for martial arts is what inspires others. From him I have learned martial arts not only as a sport but also as a way of life. The potential he sees in his students is clear and he uses that vision to help them become leaders. He easily and accurately identifies what his students need to improve on and effectively communicates this to them to become better. His discipline and dedication to martial arts is what students can learn from him. Thank you for all that you do and for all that you have taught me.
Princes May Bartido: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueBest place to bring your kids! Master Alan is very welcoming and so professional. My daughter is having so much fun on her class and is always excited. She just started on March 2021 and I can already see some positive impact on her like always being positive in everything she does. 100% recommended!
Essentially Motivated: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy son has attended VMA for the past 3 years. His personal growth in terms of leadership and focus has been exponential. He enjoys learning as well as helping to teach Taekwondo. This has been such a positive experience for us I would recommend VMA to anyone!
Yellow Wonder: My son is 5 years old, he goes to Vancouver Martial Art for over 3 months. He is very happy and grateful in learning Martial Art with Alan.Alan give great guidance and patient toward his students. My son respect his master a lot, he doesn’t want to miss any lesson. I am very proud to see him practicing at home. I can see it in my son’s eyes that he is very proud to be learning Taekwondo.Special thanks to Master Alan 🙏🏻
Semiha Bahar: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityVMA is a great place to discover the capability of your body.Master Alan provides a welcoming environment for everyone who is interested in martial arts. First time in my life, I am exercising regularly. Contrary to every other attempts to include physical activity, this time, it is not boring.
Shreya K: Vancouver Martial Arts is a place where leaders are born and it is exemplified in both words and action. Taekwondo is world consisting of so much more than just kicking and punching, and I was able to realize that at VMA. Some aspects such as self-respect, perseverance, and leadership qualities are equally valuable as the physical techniques you get to develop here. I would definitely recommend VMA to anyone looking to send their kids or learn taekwondo for themselves, as there is no age limit for partaking in this magnificent art of life.
CDN Mountain Rider: Vancouver Martial Arts is a school that inspires you to become a master of you own body’s capability. Master Alan's teaching extends beyond just the class itself. His school and his focus on developing one’s self to the maximum of their potential quickly translates to all aspects of your life. I 100% recommend VMA to all who want to challenge their body’s ability, and personal capacity to grow into more than you are today.The Cook Family
Ahmad Rasouli: My son is an old student in Dragon Temple Martial Arts. Master Alan teach my son self-confidence and Self-discipline .I appreciate him to help my son to know himself well.My son is always excited for going to class.
Niayesh Rasoli: Mr Alan is amazing . At the beginning I thought that I can just learn kicking and punching. But now I learned self discipline too and I appreciate him . Thank you for all those amazing words and thoughts . You changed my life Mr Alan .
Nima rasouli: Great atmosphere and a great teacherMaster Alan taught me how can I be confident and become a good leader
D0D0BIRDIE XD: I attended Vancouver Martial Arts from 2012 to late 2019, and after around seven years of consistent training and practice, I can say that my overall experience was an overwhelming positive one. The instructors are all very kind and cared deeply about my success the and advancement of my martial art abilities, whilst my fellow students became some of my closest friends. Vancouver Martial Arts not only kept me fit, but in the process, I also learned valuable life lessons and the importance of self discipline. Greatest Martial Arts studio ever!
Ritchie Le: 2 words to describe it? Second home. a place where I was able to relax and just practice the art of martial arts. A very comfortable environment and a great community to be surrounded by. Even after absence, they still care about you and are always welcome back. Not only did I learn Martial arts, I learnt how to better myself in life and others around me.

Aikido Yoshinkai Burnaby: what do users think?
Steve Griffiths: 2nd to none. The quality of instruction here is simply amazing.
Kim C.: I have been studying Iaido here under the instruction of Fashad Ardestani for the last 8 months. I am thoroughly enjoying it, and have found Farshad Sensai a knowledgeable and patient instructor.
Bob Mooney: Over the years I've attended many seminars for Aikido and jiujutsu led by great Aikidoka and jiujutsu practitioners hosted by Robert Mustard Sensei. While not the best uke, I've been able with Mustard Sensei's help and the help of his senior students to improve both my timing and control.This dojo is multifaceted in that opportunities exist to train in multiple arts, one is Iaido which is taught by Farshad Ardestani Sensei who is a remarkable teacher both in Iaido and Aikido.This is also the home of a highly regarded Feldenkrais practitioner and instructor Judy Remedios. Over the years Judy has helped me to re-establish mobility through my hips that I had thought lost and gone forever.There is no doubt in my mind that Aikido Yoshinkai Burnaby led by Robert Mustard Sensei is a great place to learn martial arts and develop traits such as honour and respect for oneself and others.Respectfully,Bob Mooney,Head InstructorGuseikai Karate Vancouver
