About the Dojo

Aikido Kokikai of Rochester is an all volunteer run group dedicated to the study of Kokikai-ryu Aikido. None of our staff or instructors receive any compensation, in fact, everybody pays the same dues! What does this mean? It means you will find a family of people devoted to a common interest without the pressure of dues contracts, constant testing fees for "tips" or "stripes", or restrictions on your learning opportunities. Sure, if you want a clean dojo you might have to pick up a mop or dust rag, but you will be cleaning right next to your instructors. A constant reminder that we are all always students.
