Soke Dai David Nemeroff

Owner and head instructor David Nemeroff

Soke-Dai — 9th degree Black Belt

David Nemeroff started his martial arts training at the age of seven and began his pursuit of Aikido at twelve years of age. With over 40 years of martial arts experience, and black belts in 13 different martial arts, he is able to share an incredible wealth of knowledge with you. This means you will get a more comprehensive understanding of the martial arts, and he will help you truly customize your curriculum the way you want.

“When I started martial arts, I was the second shortest child in my grade, weighing only 127 lbs by the time I graduated high school. I was also extremely shy. Martial arts changed my life by making me stronger, more confident and able to deal with the stresses of life much more effectively. Starting martial arts was the best decision of my life.”

— David Nemeroff, Soke-Dai

I began my martial arts journey at Aikido Masters in my early 40s and as I approach 50 years of age I can honestly say that I am mentally and physically in the best shape of my life. I have achieved a black belt in Kempo Jutsu and hold ranks in Jujutsu and Aikido, and, perhaps more importantly, I have discovered a pathway to serenity, increased energy and positivity. I enjoy teaching and interacting with our 5-7 year-old Kempo students. I welcome you to our dojo and encourage you to unlock all of your potential - you will be amazed what you can accomplish!

Since I was a young boy, I was always interested in the martial arts, but was always under the mistaken notion that one needed special physical prowess to be able to execute the techniques with the power and precision required. When I first went through the doors of Aikido Masters, I had no idea of the great journey I was about to embark on ... a journey that has taught me that training the mind and developing the spirit is the only way to understand and seriously practice martial arts and evolve as a person . I've always stated that coming to train in this dojo has been one of the great gifts I've given myself, but I never imagined just how much training in the martial arts would give back to me.
