About Los Angeles Aiki Kai

Los Angeles Aiki Kai was founded in early 1956, making it the oldest aikido dojo in the United States. It first opened its doors in the “Seinan” area of Los Angeles, eventually relocating to its current location in 1967. The dojo is a shibu of the Kokusai Aikido Kenshukai Kobayashi Hirokazu Ryu, and is directed by 8th Dan Hanshi Cognard André. Our chief instructor is Ishibashi Robert Shihan, 6th Dan. At Los Angeles Aiki Kai, we are proud to have established the oldest aikido dojo in the USA. We offer a variety of classes and programs to foster the development of aikido practice and knowledge. Our experienced instructors provide quality instruction and supervision in a safe, fun environment that promotes physical and mental well-being. We strive to create a positive, supportive atmosphere that encourages students to reach their full potential. We are committed to helping our students reach their goals and experience the joy of aikido. We are dedicated to providing an exceptional aikido experience for all.
