Originally founded in 1964, the Long Island Aikikai is the premier Dojo on Long Island and is home to Edward Hagihara, 7th Dan Shihan. We are a traditional Dojo with the mission of preserving and promoting the martial art of Aikido as taught by the founder; Morihei Ueshiba.
 Hagihara Sensei opened the Long Island Aikikai after playing an instrumental role in the formation of the original New York Aikikai. LI Aikikai has a 45-year history of Aikido instruction and as one of the oldest Dojos in the country the atmosphere is strongly traditional. Countless students have come though our doors to train directly under one of Aikido’s pioneers and many have gone on to establish their own Dojos as well.
The Long Island Aikikai is affiliated with the United States Aikido Federation under the leadership of Y. Yamada Shihan.
