6:52 PM Nuuanu Aikido Club 2 Comments

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Robert Kubo. He founded both the Kailua Aikido Club and Aikido Hawaii International also a former Nuuanu Aikido Club, in 2015 Kubo Sensei was the third non-Japanese in Hawaii to be awarded his 8th dan from the Akikikai. The passing of Kubo Sensei is a great loss to not only aikido in Hawaii but all of Aikido. The members of the Nuuanu Aikido Club would like to express their deepest condolnces to his Family, Friends, and Students
