I'd say Steven Seagal

Seagal is a 7th Dan Aikido black belt.

Seagal is the first foreigner ever to own and operate an Aikido dojo in Japan. Known as "Master Take Shigemichi", he was the chief instructor at the Aikido Tenshin Dojo in the city of Osaka.
Seagal had an Aikido dojo is West LA for many years but closed down and I don't know if it's been relocated.
