Self Defense with Yaman G.

I started training in Aikido over 25 years ago. I traveled to Japan in search of further instruction. On my return I opened several different dojo's in Europe and managed them. After my 2nd Dan, I met with Christian Tissier Shihan and chose to follow him as his student. Later on I represented Christian Tissier Shihan in Universities in countries like Turkey, Belarus, Macedonia, Ukraine, Moldova and Russia. Many of my prior students now have many different Dan degrees awarded by Christian Tissier Shihan. Some of these students now have their own dojos. I followed Christian Tissier Shihan in seminars all over the world for the past 10 years. I still pursue his studies in Aikido. I represent Shihan Christian Tissier in the East Coast of USA. I initiated Aikido programs in Sports Academies and in Recreation Departments and taught Aikido at Theater Departments of universities and other education institutions for students to develop their skills.
