Dimitris

It all started with the 1970s series Kung Fu.

But really, I began my path in martial arts over thirty years ago, discovering Aikido as a student in Oslo before founding my own dojo and later teaching at Norway’s first school to integrate martial arts for self-development. My journey has since taken me across Europe and Japan, where I have studied with some of the most respected teachers and deepened my practice in Aikido, Qigong, Iaido, and Zen.

Martial arts are are only one part of a broader path. Earlier in life, I danced, acted, and even modeled; creative adventures that gave me curiosity and a love for expression and movement.

Alongside guiding students, I’ve organized international seminars and summer camps, and continue to teach in Greece, Norway, and beyond. In recent years, I created Seekers of Harmony, a project that shares practice through workshops and online, with gatherings now held on Greek islands and in cities across Europe.

For me, martial arts is not only about discipline and form, but about connection, transformation, and finding harmony within ourselves and with others.

Whether through Aikido, Iaido, or reflective practices, my goal is to inspire participants to explore their inner strength, embrace transformation, and connect with the essence of their journey.
