About Nova Scotia Aikido Federation

Nova Scotia Aikido Federation (NSAF) is the provincial association which serves as an umbrella society for the Aikido dojos in Nova Scotia.  The NSAF allows the national Aikido body, the Canadian Aikido Federation (CAF), to interact with a provincial organisation, which can in turn act with the individual dojos of the province.

The CAF is in turn a member of the Aikikai Foundation, Aikido World Headquarters, Tokyo, Japan.  The CAF is dedicated to the teachings of Master Morihei Ueshiba, the Founder of Aikido.

We receive instruction from Y. Kawahara Shihan, 8th Dan, who acts as designated teacher from the Hombu Dojo (Aikido Headquarters in Japan) to the CAF.  Kawahara Shihan, who lives in British Columbia, visits the Atlantic Provinces once every year or two for seminars.  In addition, we have invited other advanced Aikido teachers from Montreal or Toronto to conduct seminars in Nova Scotia.
