Hello! I am the founder of the Madrid Ki Aikido Society and the head instructor. Thank you for your interest in Ki Aikido and our dojo. Looking forward to seeing you on the mat!
My Ki Aikido Journey
I have practiced Ki Aikido for almost 20 years and believe that Aikido found me, rather than the other way around.
I began training at 21 with the Ki School, where I trained under Cristian Ion Sensei (5th dan). I also attended international seminars with Mervyn Williams Sensei and Diana Williams Sensei. In 2014, I earned the rank of Nidan with the Ki School of Bucharest.
My journey continued with the Prague Ki Society, affiliated with the Japan HQ Ki Society, where I trained for over five years, deepening my understanding of Ki Aikido fundamentals with Martin Jaburek Sensei (4th dan).
In 2020, I founded the Ki Aikido Basel Dojo, which began regular classes at the end of 2021. In 2023, I earned the rank of Shodan within the Japan Ki Society.
During this period I continued to train internationally attending seminars with senior instructors, including Calvin Tabata Sensei, Ohara Sensei, and Shinichi Tohei Sensei.
In 2025, I relocated to Madrid, where I have opened the Madrid Ki Aikido Society, continuing my path of practice, teaching, and lifelong learning.
