About me
Founded by Morihei Ueshiba, who trained under many classical teachers, aikidō is unusual as a Martial Art where both the well being of the initiator and the responder are of equal importance to the technique. Established in the early 70s by Jon Mamoru Takagi, a student of Yukiso Yamamoto-sensei, Arizona Aikidō continues Takagi-sensei's legacy of teaching with classes and seminars here in the Valley but other Arizona cities as well. The dojo was started in 1968 by Takagi Sensei.
