Re: Where are the oldest aikido dojos in the world?

The Hut Dojo from the early 1950s - The original dojo is still the same venue after approx. 65 years, originally named after Kenshiro Abbe Sensei " Abbe School of Judo " - later after the introduction of Aikido in 1955 and later Karate, it became the " The Abbe School of Budo ". In those early days the tatami was graced by such greats as Sensei's Kenshiro Abbe - Matsutaro Otani - Tommi Otani - Masahilo Nakazono - Masamichi Noro - H Kobyashi - Kazuo Chiba - Mutsuki Harada - Ken Williams - Bill Woods and so many other notables.
