The mission of AHAN, the Aikido Humanitarian Active Network is to extend the philosophy of Aikido into the world beyond the dojo. For more info, click on the links below.

One goal of AHAN (the Aikido Humanitarian Active Network) is to inspire individual dojos to find and develop service projects in their own communities. It is not required to join AHAN as a member. Individual independent ideas and activities are encouraged and supported! If your dojo has started an activity you would like to share, please let us know and we will post it on the AHAN Activity Bulletin Board.
