Denver Aikikai invites you to join us for our fall seminar, the Across the Ocean Aikido Exchange, September 18–20, 2026. Sakabe Shihan and Takahashi Sensei from Japan will join Colorado instructors Eugene Lee Shihan and Denver Aikikai Chief Instructor Edgar Johansson Sensei for a weekend of exceptional Aikido.

Registration is now open, and early registration pricing is available through September 1. To help ensure the best possible training experience, attendance may be limited, so we encourage you to register early.

Please let us know if you have any questions or difficulty registering. We hope to see you in September!

Fun times at the Hendricks Sensei seminar in Colorado Springs a couple of weeks ago hosted by Traditional Aikido of Colorado Springs!

We are very excited to announce a spring seminar at Denver Aikikai from May 1-3, 2026 and hope you can join us!
The event is titled “Unusual Suspects” and will bring together three rokudan Senseis with decades of experience as dojo-cho, who all share a passion for clear principle-based teaching and training and a desire to share these with their students and beyond.

David Ito Sensei – 6th dan – Aikido Center of Los Angeles
Andrew Blevins Sensei – 6th dan – Kiryu Aikido
Edgar Johansson Sensei – 6th dan – Denver Aikikai

Students will go away from this weekend not only with new techniques and wonderful memories, but also with clearly demonstrated foundational ideas to advance your aikido training and teaching.

We had a great Kagami Biraki 2026 this Saturday, 1/17 with a whole crew from Traditional Aikido of Colorado Springs. Great training, one 4th kyu test, and demos!
