Welcome to Tri City Aikido

Thank you for considering Tri City Aikido as your place to practice the art of Aikido. Our dojo (school) is conveniently located in Newark.

At Tri City Aikido, you will find a dojo with a deep history. We are proud to announce that we are now a satellite dojo for Kumano Jyuku dojo in Shingu, Japan. The Kumano Jyuku dojo was originally operated by Hikitsuchi Sensei who was one of the original students of the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba (O Sensei) and was able to achieve Judan or 10 degree black belt.

Since Hikitsuchi Sensei's passing, Anno Motomichi Sensei is now dojo cho in Shingu. He presently holds Hachi dan, or 8th degree black belt. Anno Dojocho also had the great honor of studying with O Sensei due to his frequent visits to the Kumano Jyuku dojo at that time. Anno Dojocho was recently honored for his lifetime dedication to Japanese martial arts. We congratulate him on his award!

Tri City Aikido has been fortunate to have Tasaka Shihan visit and share his 35 years of teachings and experience with us. Tasaka Shihan was also a long time student of Hikitsuchi Sensei.
