Aikido / Aikijutsu

Our Style

Whereas in most Aikido schools you will polish techniques in a graceful harmony with your training partner, this is not what happens in a real fight.

The goal of our training to understand the origin of the techniques, how they can be applied in present day circumstances.

To do so,

we expand our arsenal by techniques from Judo and Jujutsu
we learn how takedowns can be performed as strikes
we learn how to spar in a safe Judo like way

and much more

Instructor

I, Daniel Nuriyev, trained between 2009 - 2022 under Jason DeLucia, student of Takano Kōsaku Sensei. Prior to that between 1992 - 2008 I trained in Changquan Wushu, Traditional Kongfu, Sanda and Taijiquan. In parallel I spent a few years learning and teaching Krav Maga.

And, in the spirit of never stopping to learn, I am trying to learn BJJ and it's not easy ;)
