| 22 Wing North Bay Aikido Club |
Danny Ervin Sensei |
| The 22 Wing North Bay Aikido Club was originally founded by Danny Ervin Sensei in 2001. Danny Sensei began his Aikido training in 1995 at the Buseikan Dojo, CFB Borden, Ontario. Through the years, he has trained and gained valuable experience from such teachers as Steve Nickerson Sensei and Terrence Cooper Sensei, achieving the rank of 2nd kyu prior to founding the 22 Wing North Bay Aikido Club. Danny Sensei's teaching method, enthusiasm, and cheerful attitude established the groundwork for the club as it exists today. |

Anteikan Dojo |
René Knight Sensei |
After the departure of Danny Ervin Sensei in July of 2004, René Knight took a leadership role within the club, when he became the primary instructor. René
Knight Sensei was one of the very first of Danny Sensei's students at the 22 Wing North Bay Aikido Club. René served as personal uke for Danny much of the
time and eventually took on the responsibility of teaching classes whenever Danny wasn't available. René Sensei is now officially the head instructor at the club.
In May of 2005, at the Yoshinkan Aikido 50th Anniversary kenshu held in Georgetown, Ontario, René Sensei officially registered the dojo with the
Aikido Yoshinkai Foundation (AYF). The dojo was given the name "Anteikan" by Yasushisa Shioda Sensei (Gozo Shioda's son). In English the name Anteikan translates to
"Stable Home".
