Our Lineage

Kongōshinkan Aikido traces its roots to the teachings of Morihei Ueshiba, the Founder of Aikido (O-Sensei), and to the lineage of Fumio Toyoda Shihan.

Our dojo was originally formed within the Aikido Association of America under Toyoda Shihan’s direction, and we continue to preserve the technical clarity, discipline, and spirit of training passed down through that tradition.

While organizations may evolve over time, the transmission of the art remains steady through consistent practice, respect for lineage, and dedication to the dojo.

Our focus is simple:

Train sincerely.
Preserve the form.
Carry the art forward.
