Juneau Aiki Dojo is a non-affiliated martial arts school teaching Aikido in a traditional setting. Our Aikido is primarily the style taught by Morihiro Saito in Iwama Japan, the village where the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, lived and taught for the last 27 years of his life. Our Aikido is strongly influenced by the teaching of Bill Sosa, a pioneering instructor of Aikido in Dallas, Texas. We have been influenced in our expression of principles by Don Angier, an outstanding teacher of traditional Aik
