Goal
As is my custom each year-end, I’d like to invite you to join me in supporting a good cause!
Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps.
This year we are finally back in the dojo training in person! We are gradually rebuilding our dojo's membership. And I'm beginning to travel again to lead seminars in other dojos around the world.
I’ve included information about Aikido Kenkyukai International USA below.
Thank you in advance.

Aikido Kenkyukai International, USA ("AKI USA") is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Every year we work to raise money so we can continue our important work in the community. This work includes, but is not limited to:
Giving back wherever we can, such as our support of the Fundraiser Seminar to benefit Ukrainian refugees in Poland April 30, 2022.
Making online resources and events available for practitioners and instructors.
Providing opportunities for young people to accompany me on training trips to Japan, such as 16-year old Kevin in 2019.
Creating new relationships with overseas dojo, thus enriching the experiences of our young members. A couple years ago, one of our 17-year-old members accompanied me on my European Tour, co-teaching youth classes there and participating fully (most times being my main "uke") in adults classes.
Providing scholarships to those in need. With your help, we have provided nearly $50,000 worth of scholarships! Recipients include low-income youth, military veterans with PTSD, and other underserved populations.
Offering Aikido seminars with world renowned instructors. Each year we host at least two seminars, attracting practitioners of all skill levels from around the globe. Scholarships are also available to those in need for these seminars.
Currently, our biggest project is simply rebuilding our Los Angeles dojo after the COVID lockdowns.
Any amount helps. Please give what you can.
