Welcome to our Dojo!

Toronto Aikido Centre, is one of the oldest, as well as newest, Yoshinkan Dojo's in town. What we mean to say is that Toronto Aikido is the re-incarnation of Seimeikan Dojo. In March of 2003 Karasawa Sensei, 7th Dan, decided to retire after over 15 years teaching at the Seimeikan Dojo. After much thought, many conversations, and support from the community, he decided this Sr. student Alan Shumak should take over, while he stayed on as technical advisor as well as chief instructor. Hence Seimeikan become TAC (Toronto Aikido Centre).

While day to day operations were taken over by Alan, Karasawa Sensei stayed on during the fall and winter sessions running classes. Together with assistance from past as well as present students, Alan has completed a rebuilding program that has developed the dojo into an even stronger, more vibrant place to train. Student numbers are up and class participation is building.

Maintaining a strong program based on many years of following Karasawa Sensei's lead, with a touch of modern resource management, allows TAC to combine the best of tradition as well as modern approaches to training and fitness.

We welcome the opportunity to show you our dojo and our training. Please feel free to visit during scheduled class times, or call for additional information.
