From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seidokan Aikido (誠道館合気道, Seidōkan Aikidō) is a style of Aikido and organization founded in Los Angeles, California in 1981 by Roderick Kobayashi,[1] formerly a top instructor in the Ki Society. Kobayashi brought to the new organization the strong influence of his teacher Koichi Tohei, and Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido.[1] Although independent and never formally affiliated with any parent organization, Seidokan's style and teachings were recognized by 2nd Dōshu Kisshomaru Ueshiba as a legitimate interpretation of the teachings of his father, Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba[citation needed].
