Aikido Tekkojuku of Boston is a traditional dojo that promotes the practice of Aikido in an environment of sincerity, celebration, and mutual respect. As well as a martial art, aikido is a practice of personal and interpersonal development. Tekkojuku therefore promotes vigorous training alongside a values-driven and friendly dojo culture. We celebrate the diversity of our members; their achievements on and off the mat; and the friendships they forge with each other.

Aikido Tekkojuku is a traditional dojo devoted to advancing Aikido as a path of both martial and personal growth. We practice in the tradition of Mitsunari Kanai (8th dan, Shihan), himself a disciple of Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei, the founder of Aikido. Kanai-Sensei’s Aikido emphasizes the unification of the body; the generation of dynamic power from the hip (koshi); and the connection between empty-handed movements and sword movements. At Tekkojuku, many of Kanai-Sensei’s most senior students continue to develop and teach his Aikido in his loving memory. Our name “Tekkojuku” is derived from tekko, a compound word of Kanai-Sensei’s invention (see The Meaning of Tekkojuku), and juku, meaning a school offering intensive education outside of school hours.

To help evaluate whether Tekkojuku is the right fit, we strongly encourage you to visit us and observe a class. You can stop by during any of the classes, but we suggest contacting us so that we can help plan your visit and answer your questions.
