For over 30 years, Hanshi Nico has trained an estimated 15,000 or more students. Thousands of these former students may not have achieved their full Nikidokai Black Belt status due to life events. Moving to a different state, parents having new jobs requiring a move or simply having a schedule that makes attending a class weekly difficult to impossible.

Many of these students have expressed their desire to continue their Nikidokai education with Hanshi Nico but are unable to. With NWU, it’s now possible to do so. We created Nikidokai Worldwide University | Mix Martial Arts as a way for former students, as well as NEW students to learn and master the art of Nikidokai remotely. With NWU eLearning Course you can:

• Study & Practice at anytime, any day.

• Use Airplay to view your courses on your HD Screen at home, bedroom or workout room.
