Established in 2005, Kiku Matsu Dojo serves as the headquarters of the Aikido World Alliance (AWA), offering high-quality training in the Japanese martial art of Aikido. Our dojo also hosts the Chicago Buddhist Meditation Group.
Please note that regular classes are cancelled from Friday April 19, 2024 through Sunday April 21, 2024 as the dojo is hosting the AWA Nintei Kosu seminar with instruction by Andrew Sato Sensei (7th Dan, Aikikai Shihan) and other members of the AWA Technical Committee. Regular classes resume on Monday April 22, 2024.
We have classes 7 days a week and on-going students may attend as many classes as they like. Those who would like to get a taste of Aikido are invited to take our 4-week introductory course.
