About Us

Welcome to Aikido of Winnipeg in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Founded in 1991, Aikido of Winnipeg was established as a not-for-profit dojo at its current location in 2004. The chief instructor, Doug Reichert, is a Sandan (3^rd Dan) registered with the Aikikai Honbu dojo in Tokyo, Japan.

The Aikido of Winnipeg dojo trains in the Iwama style of Aikido as passed on from Morihei Ueshiba (O’Sensei), to Saito Sensei.  We are a proud member of the California Aikido Association under the direction of Hendricks Sensei.

With a focus on mind, body and spirit co-ordination, there is an emphasis on clear, precise, basic movements which with consistent practice become graceful and effective movements.

Beginners are consistently treated with care and respect in our creative and challenging atmosphere. You may wear loose clothing and join us for one complimentary, introductory class at any time.
