Daitoryu Aiki Jujutsu Roppokai LA-Keikokai

Daitoryu Aiki Jujutsu Roppokai LA-Keikokai, located in Culver City, CA, is a martial arts organization dedicated to the practice and preservation of Daito-ryu Aiki Jujutsu, a discipline known for its foundational role in the development of Aikido. This school is a direct descendant of the lineage established by Sokaku Takeda, who popularized the art after it had been kept secret within the Aizu-han as Oshikiuchi, a system of self-defense techniques reserved for a select few.

The Roppokai school traces its roots back to Kodo Horikawa, appointed by Takeda as a Kyoju-Dairi qualified teacher in 1916, and continues to uphold the high-level techniques and training methods passed down through generations. Through seminars and intensive training sessions, Roppokai fosters a deep understanding of the art, ensuring its legacy and the mastery of its practitioners.
