Join us for an extraordinary 3 days of hard training in this rare and beautiful martial art! Whatever style you practice, the principles of Daito Ryu will enhance your art. The focus will be on developing subtle kuzushi or unbalancing within technique.
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.

Daito Ryu is a link to the art of Ueshiba Morihei’s teacher Takeda Sokaku. Experiencing earlier versions of many familiar Aikido techniques will provide a new perspective on the evolution of the art and your own Aikido practice. Kodokai-style Daito Ryu is not “hard Aikido” as is sometimes claimed, but rather emphasizes building an “aiki body” to develop connection and achieve kuzushi, controlling the attacker with subtle, extremely soft techniques.
Although some experience with taking ukemi (rolling and breakfalls) is recommended, it is not required. Goldberg Shihan will demonstrate techniques for students of all ranks, styles and experience.
