About the Tupelo Aikikai
The Tupelo Aikikai and all its schools were founded by William Gibson Sensei. The Tupelo Aikikai was the first main stream Aikido school in the State of Mississippi. Our school offers instruction in Aikido(hand to hand), Aikijo(staff) and Aikiken(sword) as taught by the Founder of Aikido and preserved by the late Morihiro Saito Shihan. Our School offers teaching in a family friendly environment with top of the line flooring and 10,000 square feet of building. There is no application to get in, no trial run to see if you fit in, and certainly no vote on weather or not you can train in aikido. If you run into this situation they are not teaching aikido and certainly not following the true heart of aikido.
About our Sensei

He has 18 years of aikido training by certified aikido instructors and all his training hours and seminars he attended are documented. Gibson Sensei's main instructor was Ron Myers Sensei. Ron Myers Sensei began training in Japan in the 1970’s while stationed there with the Air Force. He continued his training in Hawaii with Donald Moriyama (7th Dan), who was a direct student of Morihiro Saito (9th Dan).
