Mark Larson Shihan (Takuto) began practicing Aikido in 1992, after years of competitive athletics including ice hockey, Wing Chun kung fu and Goju-ryu karate. Over a period of ten years, he studied numerous times as uchideshi (dojo live-in student,) and lived at the Founder’s Dojo for over four years of residential training under Morihiro Saito Shihan. 

He is the founder and chief instructor of Minnesota Aiki Shuren Dojo, Nowthen, MN, and technical advisor for a number of Aikido Dojos in the USA and Japan as well as Canada, Denmark, and Sweden.

Larson Shihan currently holds a 6th degree black belt in Aikido (rokudan) from the World Aikido Federation (Aikikai) Headquarters, Tokyo, Japan, led by the current Aikido Doshu Sensei, Moriteru Ueshiba (1951- ), presented to Mark L. Larson on January 13, 2013, at the Hombu Dojo Kagami-biraki ceremony and celebration in Tokyo, Japan.
