Ki-Aikido came to Fort Collins in 1979
when a small group of individuals asked Kashiwaya
Sensei for permission to begin practice and open a dojo (school) here.
From that humble beginning the school established a foothold in the
community and, after some location moves, found a
home on campus as a CSU Club Sport in late 1980. CSU
students ran the organization on campus while instructors came from our
headquarters dojo in Boulder to teach one night a week.
Russ Smith
provided instruction the other night, and he
(now a 4th dan) is still teaching
classes for
almost 30 years now! |

Over the years, there has
been continued energy brought to our
organization by a flow of new and sustaining
students. We have touched
the lives of many people on and off-campus as we continue to share our
way, budo, with those of you who enroll in these classes. |
