Chuck Weber Sensei started Aikido in 1975 in Denver, Colorado. After Hiroshi Ikeda Sensei moved to Boulder Weber Sensei was introduced to Mitsugi Saotome Sensei. At Saotome
Sensei’s request in 1988 he opened a dojo with Charles Page in Baltimore.
In addition to receiving the rank of Nanadan, Chuck Weber Sensei has been given the Ueshiba Juku designation by Saotome Shihan. In 2026, along with other 7th Dan of the ASU, Hombu Dojo certified Weber Sensei as Aikido Shihan.
Fasen Sensei highly highly recommends training with Weber Sensei for his articulate teaching methods, his inviting intellect, consideration and humility, along with his outstanding weapons work. Shindai is really excited about finally having Weber Sensei in our dojo.
