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:

Thanks to everyone that came out to try Aikido at our open house and all the dojo members that showed up to help out.

Effective March 1, 2025 we will be suspending the Monday 4:30pm children’s class. The Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday children’s classes will continue.

On Saturday March 8, 2025 the dojo will be closed for all classes. Consider attending the seminar Sato Sensei is co-teaching in Urbana that weekend. You can sign up from this link.


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.
