In 2023, Roman Solonyy reunited with his Sensei, Roman Limarev, 5th Dan. They began practicing Aikido Jiseikan under Roman Limarev's guidance, and our dojo is the only school in the NYC area teaching the Yoshinkan style of Aikido. Our philosophy is one of dedicated training in a positive, non-competitive environment with an emphasis on the fundamental movements of Aikido.
