Manny Jimenez Sensei, 6th dan Daito Ryu Kiyamakai — Manny Jimenez has been training in the martial arts since 1973. He is the senior student of Roy Goldberg Shihan (the director of Kiyamakai) and a student of Kiyama Hayawo Shihan (the North American Director for Daito Ruy Aikijujutsu Kodokai) since 1995. Jimenez Sensei has been awarded the Kodokai Rank of 4th dan and the Hiden Mokuroku, 1st scroll from the Kodokai Hombu Dojo in Kitami, Japan. He received his 6th dan from Goldberg Shihan as well as the second scroll. Jimenez Sensei is currently the lead instructor for Daito Ryu Kiyamakai under Goldberg Shihan and is in charge of curriculum development for the organization.
Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu is a 1,200-year-old samurai martial art. Once a secret art, passed generation to generation through the Takeda clan, the system of Daito Ryu Aiki Ju-jutsu was revived in the late 19th century by Sokaku Takeda, 32nd in line of the Takeda family. It has directly influenced the development of many popular martial arts, such as Aikido, Shorinji Kempo, Hakko Ryu Jujutsu and Hapkido. Daito Ryu’s core principles focus on subtle manipulations of balance and structure and will complement and enrich any martial arts training.
