Fifty Years of Aikido Training

Aikido Markham

This year will mark my seventy-fifth birthday and fifty years of Aikido training. Aikido has been a major factor in my life since I was a young adult, and I can hardly imagine this life without it.

The training has been hard but rewarding. As the saying goes, “Eat bitter, taste sweet.” It has been my privilege to have fine instructors, training partners, and then my own dedicated students.

Aikido has brought me self-discipline, health, insight, many good friends, and a wonderful wife.

Love the Aikido training here under Sensei George and his senior students. Been learning a lot since I joined after covid. Good folks that help you along the way. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat. So much to learn, best gift you can get is improving yourself every step along the way.

Sensei Hewson is an example and teaches with both the background of old Bushido and modern Western essence; having the sensitivity to be both gentle and stern as an instructor. The assistant instructors are committed to Aikido … and teach beginners with patience.
