I have been practicing martial arts for 36 years, starting with Aïkido in 1988, then beginning studying Iaïdo in 1995, and Jodo in 2000.
I was blessed to meet great teachers that guided me on the path of Budo.
During my years of training, it was always assumed that Budo was meant to be shared, which is why, after a reasonable period of training, I started teaching these three disciplines and have been teaching them for more than 20 years now.
I am very happy to share this passion with other people and I am teaching for free. It is also a way for me to honor my teachers, and their teachers before them, to be able to pass on this great gift.
