The Aikido Center of Los Angeles as an organization is one of 17 organizations in the United States which has konin (公認) or official recognized status with the Aikikai Foundation — Aikido World Headquarters in Japan.
The Aikido Center of Los Angeles is an organization that was founded by Rev. Kensho Furuya.
Our mission is the preservation of traditional Aikido and Aikido as a martial art.
Our dojos are committed to the study and practice of the teachings of the Founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba. We are loyal to O’Sensei and his legitimate successors, Nidai Doshu, Kisshomaru Ueshiba, the present Doshu, Moriteru Ueshiba and Hombu Dojo Dojo-cho, Mitsuteru Ueshiba.
No Politics, Only Aikido
Politics and money are what is killing the art of all martial arts. As an organization, we wish to go back to a time where training and dojos were about putting in the work and finding the beauty of the art. Aikido can be a martial art for everyone, but it is not for everyone and neither is our organization. We only ask that our dojos be serious about training regardless of level or style.
Join us
We will accept any Aikido dojo, school, group or individual regardless of style or prior affiliation. However, with that being said, we ask that you only contact us if you are interested in joining a community of dojos who put training and relationships over politics and profit. Our goals are to train in Aikido and give dojos a path to Hombu Dojo for rank and affiliation.
PLEASE NOTE: Before applying, we ask that you attend at least three of our seminars either in the US or abroad or have been training with one of our member dojos for at least 12 months. This is to ensure that your affiliation is a good fit for both parties involved.
