The Midwest Aikido Center is open seven days a week and is staffed by eighteen regular instructors, including one Shihan and three USAF / Aikikai Shidoin. All instructors give freely of their time and are long-time students of Akira Tohei Shihan and the Midwest Aikido Center. The MAC also hosts several significant Shihan taught seminars throughout the year and most of our instructors travel the world to attend other important training opportunities and further their own studies. See the Class & Events Calendar for information about future events.
