Aikido & Iaido

My story...

        I have dedicated myself to training hard in Aikido, immersing myself in the art of the sword, and ultimately achieving the esteemed rank of third degree blackbelt. Through countless hours of practice and discipline, I have honed my skills and embraced the principles of this traditional Japanese martial art. With my deep understanding of Aikido, I have been given the opportunity to share my knowledge and expertise with others. I am currently teaching beginning Aikido classes for adults at the Ventura Parks and Recreation Department. It brings me great joy to introduce newcomers to the beauty and grace of Aikido, helping them develop self-confidence, physical strength, and mental clarity. Witnessing their growth and progression is truly rewarding, and I am honored to be a part of their martial arts journey.
