| Please join MWA on June 26 – 27 – 28, 2026 in one of the Last Best Places, historical Livingston Montana! We are proud to host Sensei John Messores 7th dan for our signature Summer Weekend Seminar. Come for the terrific aikido training and aiki community gathering, but stay for the adventure that only South Central Montana offers. We are the gateway to the Grandaddy of the U.S. National Parks (YNP) and surrounded by nature’s wonders. Bring the family to partake in the exploration, hiking and all kinds of outdoor activities available in our neighborhood. |
This summer event brings John Messores Sensei to Livingston to share his gifted instruction. As one of Mitsugi Saotome’s original students and the most senior instructors of Aikido Schools of Ueshiba (ASU) Messores Sensei provides personalized and hands on training. Our events are intimate gatherings. The dojo facility is well appointed and comfortable. Our door is always open to everyone, regardless of training experience or organizational affiliation. We frequently receive comments on how inclusive and welcoming our MWA members treat others.
