Specialties
We are an Aikido dojo (school) in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood. Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art which focuses on blending with an attack in order to neutralize it. Instead of strength, strikes, and force, Aikido emphasizes movement, technique, and balance. Our active membership includes men and women from all walks of life, ages 6 to over 70. As a new member, you will pair with many experienced Aikidoists, guaranteeing a dynamic and varied approach to learning this dynamic and varied martial art. The benefits of practicing Aikido go far beyond mere self-defense. We invite you to come see for yourself!
History
Established in 1975.
The MAC, a 501c3 non-profit organization, was founded in 1975 by Akira Tohei Shihan, a key figure in the global expansion of Aikido. Because of his leadership and vision, and the ongoing dedication of his students, the MAC has developed into a strong, stable community. Our membership represents diversity in all of its aspects, reflecting the universal appeal of Aikido. Practice is the most important part of membership but not the only part. All members participate in our community by training as often as they are able, helping new beginners, caring for the dojo, and participating in seminars, to name just a few examples.
