Nippon Kan was established in 1980 as a center for Denver residents to experience Japanese cul-ture. The center has served more than 6,000 stu-dents with its variety of classes, but its core is still Aikido. Gaku Homma is founder and Chief Instructor of Nippon Kan. He has practiced under the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba—as well as instructors of other styles. Thousands of students have benefitted from his form of dynamic Aikido.
