Testimonials

a year ago

Burloak Aikikai is a clean, safe, and friendly environment to practice Aikido. Sensei Ben has had many years of training in Japan under top teachers where this form of martial art originated. Through his knowledge and experience he is able to guide students at all levels towards obtaining their objectives. I highly recommend this dojo if you’re interested in Aikido west of Toronto.

About us

This dojo began in 2017 when Ben Peacock started teaching some early morning classes to Shudokan Family Karate members and friends in the Oakville-Burlington-Hamilton area as a summer pilot project. The students' response was very positive and we are grateful to Shudokan's Nakamura-sensei for offering us his space to continue training!

Ben Peacock has a 5th-dan from the Aikikai, and has trained consistently for 35 years in many places around the world, including over a decade of regular practice at the headquarters (Hombu) in Tokyo.

We welcome new people to join us in starting the day off right with a good sweaty aikido practice!!!

Free to Shudokan members. $50/month to others.

In the COVID era, we have moved to holding one Zoom class per week and one in-person class in a park with masks and social distancing. Contact
