description of the school
Portland Aikido is Maine's oldest and largest Aikikai. It was founded in 1985 as an affiliate of New England Aikikai, which is directed by Shihan (master teacher) Mitsunari Kanai, eighth degree black belt and uchi deshi (apprentice) of Aikido’s founder, Morihei Ueshiba. Portland Aikido is a member of the United States Aikido Federation, the premier Aikido organization in the United States with direct affiliation with Hombu Dojo, Aikido World Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. We also enjoy a close affiliation with Framingham Aikikai, whose directors David Halprin (6th Dan) and Barbara Britton (5th Dan) are students of Kanai Sensei and guest instructors at Portland Aikido from time to time.
