Bob Noha

6th Degree Aikido Black Belt, founder, owner and chief instructor of Aikido of Petaluma.

Bob Started Aikido training in Mountain view in 1966 under Ed Riggs and Sig Kufferath. Shortly thereafter, he began his training and a life long friendship with Robert Nadeau, Shihan, who was a direct student of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of AIkido.

In the late 1960s, Sensei Noha started his teaching career as an assistant at the Mountain View dojo where he began, and left to open up the first Aikido school in Washington DC in 1970. He taught in the Washington DC Area until 1975, where he became a Security Police Tactics instructor for the Security Police at Andrews Air Force Base. From 1975 until 1977 Sensei Noha opened and operated an Aikido school in the Buffalo NY area.
