Sensei Dimitri was first introduced to Aikido in 1999, while studying in Birmingham, UK. After returning to Moscow, his home town, he joined Sensei Alick Natton’s Aikido club affiliated with the Ki Federation of Great Britain. In 2003, shortly after receiving his black belt, Sensei Dimitri assumed leadership of the Moscow club, where he taught for the next ten years. During this time, he and other members of the Moscow Club regularly attended seminars at the Ki Federation headquarters in Somerset. Top teachers of Ki Federation visited Moscow annually to teach in seminars.
Sensei Dimitri also received private lessons from Sensei Williams and Sensei Margaret Williams, the founders of the Ki Federation of Great Britain.
In 2013, he immigrated to Canada and established an Aikido club in London, Ontario in 2014. In 2024 he received his 6th Dan with Ki Federation of Great Britain. Sensei Dimitri teaches with passion and care, viewing Aikido as a lifelong practice that supports daily life.

For your first classes you may wear any loose, comfortable clothing and wear sandals or flip-flops between the changing rooms and the mat. Toe and fingernails should be short and clean to prevent any injury and jewelry should be removed. Eventually, however, a white Kidogi should be worn by men and a white Kidogi and black hakama by women.
