I am a student of this place and love it. I searched many places and found Aikido Shindokan was the best out of many. While training the instructors/sensei's are serious but kept it enjoyable. They do not force student's to "fake it till you make it". Instead they do their best to help students learn while encouraging to continuously trying. All the students as well are welcoming and help each other out.

Although I live in Ottawa, the Shindokan dojo is my number one destination for Aikido training whenever I'm in the Toronto area. The instruction is truly world class and the atmosphere is friendly and supportive. I cannot recommend this dojo highly enough!!

Having been at the dojo for over 6 years, I can say that Sensei Chris is a natural teacher, who is able to break down techniques at every level. We are grateful to have two of the top instructors in Canada, Chris Sensei and Paul Sensei. The Shindokan dojo is unique in that sense.

"Those who can, do. Those who understand, teach." These guys are both. Powerful martial arts, gentle instruction, very kind students. No egos, rough sparring, or intimidation tactics. They really make you feel like you belong!
