Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu is a 1,200-year-old samurai martial art and National Treasure of Japan. Its core principles focus on subtle manipulations of balance that can complement and enrich any martial arts training. Daito Ryu is not just a set of techniques, but a mindset that can transform budo practice.

It has directly influenced the development of many popular martial arts, such as Shorinji Kempo, Hakko Ryu Jujutsu, Hapkido and most famously Aikido, whose founder Morihei Ueshiba trained extensively in Daito Ryu under Takeda Sokaku. 

Roy Goldberg Shihan is one of the highest ranked Daito Ryu practitioners outside of Japan and the Chief Instructor of Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu Kiyamakai. 

For over four decades, he has trained under Kiyama Hayawo Shihan, the Chief Instructor for the Kodokai branch of Daito Ryu in North America, and is Kiyama Shihan's senior student. 

The Kodokai Menkyo Kaiden, Inoue Yusuke awarded Goldberg Sensei the rank of 7th dan, the official Kyoju Dairi teaching license, and the Hi Ogi no Koto, the 3rd scroll in the Kodokai tradition. 

In 2017, Goldberg Shihan separated from Kodokai in Japan to form the Kiyamakai, an independent Daito Ryu organization, but maintains a close relationship with his longtime teacher Kiyama Shihan, who has recognized Roy Goldberg as the Shihan of Kiyamakai. He supervises Study Groups throughout the US and in Tokyo, traveling regularly to teach in seminars all over the world.

Goldberg Sensei's goal is to share this beautiful art with anyone of good character who is dedicated to hard training with an open spirit, regardless of style or rank.
