A little history

Sensei Smith moved to New Jersey from Bermuda in 1978 and was first exposed to aikido at what is now Aikido Schools of NJ under Sensei R Stickles.

After returning to Bermuda in 1983, Bermuda’s first aikido dojo was opened just past Raynor’s Garage in Warwick. After 1 year at that location, Bermuda Aikikai relocated to Samaritan’s Lodge on Cobbs Hill where it remains today.
