Welcome to Aikido Hawaii
Aikido Hawaii is a web site dedicated to unifying all practitioners of Aikido in Hawaii, and to the preservation of the history of Aikido in Hawaii. Affiliated with no single dojo or organization, the Aikido Hawaii web site provides information and access to all dojo in the state of Hawaii. Your contributions to the information contained in these web pages are actively solicited.I have come to Hawaii in order to build a "silver bridge". Until now, I have remained in Japan, building a "golden bridge" to unite Japan, but henceforward, I wish to build a bridge to bring the different countries of the world together through the harmony and love contained in aikido. I think that aiki, offspring of the martial arts, can unite the people of the world in harmony, in the true spirit of budo, enveloping the world in unchanging love.
- Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of Aikido
