Welcome to Kiku Matsu Dojo

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.

Announcements:

The dojo will be closed for class on Friday October 18, 2024 (the 6:00pm class). Many of us are traveling to Memphis for AWA fall camp. It’s not too late to join us.

Kids movie night is coming on October 26 from 6-9pm.

We will be hosting an Open House for anyone interested in Aikido on Saturday November 9, 2024. 10:30am for youth, 12:00pm for adults. Come and see what Aikido is all about and start your journey. Just wear comfortable clothing to move around in for example a t-shirt and sweat pants.


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.
