Our
History
The Aikido Club at Columbia
University was started by math professor, Joe Gregg sensei, in 1991. He
was responsible for planting the Kokikai-ryu Aikido seed in New York
City. After he left, Ken Polotan (4th Dan) eventually assumed instruction of the Club. Ken sensei started with the Club soon after its
inception. In fact, he is Columbia University's first black belt in Kokikai Aikido.
In 1999, Gary Snyder sensei (6th Dan) assumed the Head Instructor role
at the Aikido Club at Columbia. He teaches on Tuesday evenings,
assisted by Ken Polotan sensei. Ken Polotan sensei
teaches on Thursday evenings. The
Club owes its continued success to past officers, including Kent Chu,
Amanda Lloyd, Ricky Hum, Frank Mancini and most recently, Miles
Kusonovich.
