Michael Russ

Dr. Michael Russ, Bamberg, Germany, started training Karate at the age of 10. Always looking for something new, he joined many Dojos and experimented with different styles. But when he had the possibility to learn from the well-known Japanese teacer Shoji Nishio Sensei, Dr. Russ started learning swordsmanship and Aikido as the basis of his martial art. Now he runs his own Dojo, in which people learn the art of Aikido, Aikido Toho lai and Jiu Jitsu. Dr. Russ holds a 4th degree black belt in Aikido and Aikido Toho lai, a 6th degree black belt in Karate and a 2nd degree black belt in Jiu Jitsu.
