OUR NONPROFIT MISSION

Founding member Josef Birdsong (7th Dan, Shihan) started Aikido of Austin in order to provide training and education in the practice of aikido to dojo members, ACC students, and the central Texas community. That tradition continues today.

Founded in 1984, Aikido of Austin is a 40-year, volunteer run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies on contributions from our members and generous donations from our growing Austin Texas community to meet our organizational needs.

All donations directly support our mission and our programs.

Please reach out through our contact form or via info@aikidoofaustin.org if you would like to receive email updates regarding our programs and special events.

We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All contributions are tax deductible. No goods or services will be provided in exchange for the contribution
