Our Story
Founded in 2004 under the guidance of Rev. Zenko Okimura Shihan, Aikido of Minnesota is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit dedicated to teaching the art and spirit of Aikido. With a commitment to fostering a diverse family atmosphere, all instructors volunteer their time to provide classes for both children (age 8+) and adults. In 2019, the organization celebrated its fifteenth anniversary and moved to its current location at 755 N. Prior Avenue in St. Paul, continuing its mission to share the transformative power of Aikido.
