The purpose of the aikido club Shurenkan is to contribute to aikido training in Kontiolahti and the region. The training place, dojo, is located in the sports hall of municipality of Kontiolahti.

Anyone older than 7 years is welcome to join the classes. Younger  children between the age of 7-12 years have classes designed to suit their age. Teenagers and adults have classes of their own.
The classes are based on the most widespread aikido style in Finland. The head instructor is certified by the Japanese Aikikai Foundation and Finland Aikikai.

The name of the club refers to an institute where the body, the mind and the spirit are forged so that they become strong and bright through sincere and dedicated training. The name reflects the spirit of the club and the general ideas of aikido training.

The members of the club are active and young in mind. Not only do us practice aikido with dedication and humble minds but we are always ready to learn something new. In addition to aikido, some members of the club have other interests in Japanese culture e.g., Japanese food, movies and manga.

We welcome you to train and experience the way of harmony.
