Legendary Teacher who has been in aikido for more than 50 years.

Student of two Senseis. Steven Seagal Sensei and Haruo Matsuoka Sensei gave foundamentals of the world aikido by showing aikido in action films.

About Aikido...

Aikido is the art of softness

Aikido is the art of softness, no resistance and hamony between students. It roots back to ancient Japan with its zen and buddism tradition.

Japanese art of self-defense

Aikido is based on using the attacker's energy and reorganizes it to defence applications.

We respect one another...

We respect one another, we master body and mind coordination, we learn to focus on motion, elasticity of body and we dismiss fear from our behaviour.
