Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu is a 1,200-year-old samurai martial art. 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 and focus on subtle manipulations of balance will complement and enrich any martial arts training.
Once a secret art, passed generation to generation through the Takeda clan, the system of Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu was revived in the late 19th century by Sokaku Takeda, 32nd in line of the Takeda family.
To this day, Goldberg Sensei continues to train under his instructor Kiyama Shihan and he believes that, “in the martial arts, one teaches only to continue his own unfinished study.”
Sensei Goldberg's goal is to preserve, protect and transmit Daito Ryu, the beautiful secret art and National Treasure of Japan, to pass it on to serious students, just as his teacher, Kiyama Shihan shared it with him.
Participants will explore:
- Foundational bodywork and breath training in Daito-ryu
- The solo work to kata
- The traditional pathway of waza and how the body work supports technique
Goldberg Sensei, who is also a highly trained Physical Therapist, will once again be holding a special Thursday seminar on manual therapy. See information on last year's seminar here.
