Aikido of Charlotte is a North Carolina Non-Profit Educational organization founded over 30 years ago and is the oldest, most experienced aikido dojo in the Charlotte area led by Chief Instructor, Dennis Main Sensei, 6th Dan, Shidoin. With 48 years of experience, Main Sensei is the most senior aikido teacher in the Charlotte surrounding area. We are dedicated to the teaching of traditional Aikido as handed down from the Founder, Morihei Ueshiba (O’Sensei). We have an Air-conditioned 2400 sq. ft. dojo with a 1250 sq. ft sprung mat system just minutes from Uptown Charlotte and highly accessible from South Charlotte or the Lake Norman area. We have an "open mat" policy where you can come watch and/or participate in a class. We encourage fellow aikidoka from other dojos to come seek us out in their travels. We strive for a "friendly" atmosphere where we train seriously yet have a lot of fun at the same time. Please contact our Dojo Cho, J. Weiner Sensei, 4th Dan, Shidoin for more questions.
