Aikido is a dynamic modern Japanese martial art, created in the 20th century and based on centuries of martial training.
Aikido founder, Morihei Ueshiba, formulated a martial Way that merges effective techniques with a mind set on peace. The power of an attack is controlled and redirected, not confronted, allowing a suitable technique to be applied. The intent is not to destroy an attacker, rather to extinguish the violence. BigRock Aikikai is a non-profit organization, incorporated in the province of Alberta. Our volunteer instructors have been committed to teaching traditional Aikido to all ages since 1998. We are led by chief instructor Steve Erickson, 4th Dan, who has trained in Aikido since 1985.
