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 all who came to our open house.

We are conducting a food drive until December 14, 2024 in conjunction with the Ravenswood Community Services Food Pantry. There is a donation container in the back of the dojo with a list of recommended items.

Join us on December 14, 2024 for our end of year testing and Holiday Pot-luck Party. Come help and watch your fellow students testing. Then bring a dish later to share at our holiday party.


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.
