“Brooklyn aikikai is a nonprofit whose mission is to foster the harmony of the entire individual (mind, body, and emotions) through the disciplines of aikido, zen, misogi, and iaido. These traditional japanese arts are a "do" (or "tao" in chinese), a way, through which one strives to reveal the true self. By bringing this true self forward, one is transformed, and so also is the world. We provide a sanctuary in new york city where individuals from all backgrounds may develop themselves through training in the above arts. We promote understanding of these traditional japanese arts, as well as other japanese cultural activities and welcome productive partnerships with schools, other nonprofits, and community organizations that enhance understanding of our mission.”

“The majority of funds raised go toward paying rent in the amount of 49,135 per year in order to have a space in which to practice. We also spent 20,036 to upgrade facilities and make repairs to the dojo. In 2016 we provided aikido classes to 95 adults and 64 children. Zazen meditation is offered to the public by donation. We hold a monthly free class open to the public. We provided scholarships for training in 2016 totaling approximately 7,603. We waived training fees in 2014 totaling approximately 1,850.”
