Aikido Shobukan Dojo was founded in 1976 by Mitsugi Saotome, Shihan (“Sensei”), Patty Saotome, and his students as a model center for the study, practice, and creative aspects of Aikido of which, this mission is still performed today. Through the years, the dojo has also become a living museum of artistic works exchanged in thankful appreciation to and from Sensei, the Dojo, the Members, Aikido Schools of Ueshiba, and the Community.
