Chicago Aikikai Aikido Dojo

Chicago Aikikai is a welcoming dojo located in the heart of Chicago, dedicated to the practice of Aikido, a non-competitive Japanese martial art that emphasizes harmonizing with energy rather than combat. Founded in 1963, it fosters a supportive community led by Chief Instructor Marsha Turner Sensei, providing a space for individuals to explore self-control, focus, and balance through regular classes and seminars.

As a member dojo of the Aikido Schools of Ueshiba, Chicago Aikikai promotes the principles of nonviolent conflict resolution rooted in the traditional disciplines of the Japanese samurai. The dojo welcomes newcomers with a free introductory class each Sunday, encouraging both local practitioners and visitors to engage in this transformative martial art.
