Winona Maikido Karate was originally taught by Joseph Chia on the WSU campus starting in 1981. Mr. Chia stated, "Maikido is considered to be a modern school of martial art. Culturally and traditionally, all styles of martial art are universal and identical, or somehow similar to schools under different founders who perhaps learned from the same master. Therefore martial art should be viewed as a “science”. This being true, we are committed to overcoming barriers our forefathers had failed to overcome, by making discoveries which they may have missed…’This is’ a modern school of the art of self-defense and incorporates the best of fighting forms and self-defense skills which have been biomechanically analyzed, tested, adjusted and adapted to produce the most efficient and effective human fighting skills.”

The martial philosophies of Mr. Chia were carried and further developed by Mr. Stoltman, Burke, & Carroll in the American Maikido Dojo . These philosophies and methods continue in the Maikido Martial Arts of Winona class.
