Welcome to
Aikido Yoshinkai Burnaby

Choosing a martial arts school or style that suits your own personal criteria is essential but it can be a daunting decision. Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to learn a martial art so naturally everyone’s requirements and expectations will vary. Browsing through our website should provide you with a good understanding of what Aikido Yoshinkai Burnaby offers its students. If it sounds like it suits you, I’d love to hear from you and I ask that you don’t hesitate to contact me, Robert Mustard (Chief Instructor), to answer any lingering questions, or to arrange to visit as a guest and watch or even participate in a class.

Aikido Yoshinkai Burnaby is a martial arts school for the whole family. Adult men and women will benefit from expert guidance as they learn powerful defensive techniques in a strictly focused, yet supportive and friendly environment. Kids will have a lot of fun while learning a very valuable set of life skills including self-confidence, self-respect, self-discipline, respect for others, classroom focus, and of course responsible camaraderie. All that in addition to a vast array of very effective defensive martial techniques.

Students are not taught fighting, violence or aggression. In fact Yoshinkan Aikido is unique in its effective method of controlling and minimizing aggressive behavior no matter how large or powerful the aggressor. For that reason, it has been deemed mandatory training in Tokyo for all female police officers, and Tokyo’s Riot Police candidates must attain Shodan (1st degree black belt) status before qualifying to join the squad.

Many of our current students have also come from other martial art disciplines. If you’ve been a student of Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo or Kung Fu, etc., you will discover some obvious benefits to studying Yoshinkan Aikido as an alternative to, or in addition to, your current budo training.

So please, look around our website and don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions whatsoever.

Yours,

Robert Mustard,
Chief Instructor, Aikido Yoshinkai Burnaby

Inoue Kancho, Chida Dojocho, and Mustard Sensei in Hawaii

March 23-26, 2007

To celebrate the initiation of Yoshinkan Aikido in Kona, Hawaii, Aikido Yoshinkai Hawaii-Koryokan Dojo hosted a series of clinics with these 3 spectacular instructors. For those who made the trip to the Big Island, it was a special privilege to be on the mats with a 9th dan, an 8th dan and a 7th dan.

Thank you to Will Howell Sensei for organizing this wonderful event; and congratulations on your promotion to Yondan!
