Dedicated to the modern martial art of protection since 1984

Aikido of Madison was founded in 1984 by Robin Cooper and John Stone. In the 40 years since that time many people have transformed their lives through the study of Aikido. In 2024, Aikido of Madison was re-organized as Aikido of Madison Dojo, Inc, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to making Aikido training available into the future.
