Sensei Nikhil Trivedi

Martial Arts All Styles (MAAS) is an organisation that caters for a wide
range of martial art styles and disciplines. MAAS organises Gradings,
Seminars, Courses and competitions throughout the year as well as providing
insurance cover - all without the politics and interference of many other
martial arts associations within the UK.
Spirit Combat is a system that originated from Soke Brian Dossett in the
early sixties, as one of the first truly ³mixed martial arts² , long before
it became popular and accepted, as it is today. It combines JuJitsu, Aikido
and kickboxing (amongst others), to provide a very effective martial art.
MAAS has rapidly grown throughout the world, with many top martial artists
joining our ³family², including Nikhil Trevidi who represents Brian Dossett
in India as India's Spirit Combat Kancho.
Recently Nikhil was one of the team of Internationals celebrating Soke Brian
Dossett¹s 65th Retirement Party on Saturday 12th February followed by a
seminar the following day during which Sensei Nikhil was one of the
Instructors and where he taught Yoga and Indian Martial Arts. This was the
first opportunity for Nihil to meet many of the other Kanchos and Masters
from Australia, Canada, USA, New Zealand, South Africa, Jordan and several
European countries.

What follows is a profile of a Master who has dedicated his life to
improving himself and the lives of many others, through the practice of
martial arts and it¹s inherrent philosophy for life.

Sensei Nikhil Trivedi started practicing Yoga at the age of five. In the
same year he visited Kenya, where he would be invited in the years to come
to train the fitness enthusiasts of Nairobi.  At the age of twelve, he
showed keen interest in wildlife and participated in various jungle and
marine camps.  At fifteen he joined the State Mountaineering Institute.  His
skills at the sport took him to the Himalayas where he successfully guided
his group to a height of fifteen thousand feet on snow covered mountains at
the mere age of sixteen.
Finally he took up karate, soon to become a Black Belt.  He started Arjun
School Of Martial Arts of India at the age of 21.  Today he holds a 5th
Degree Black Belt. So far he has trained more than fifteen thousand students
aging from 5 to 75

.

Sensei Nikhil Trivedi has been honoured by various National and
International awards. Many institutions from different cities and cultures
(whether it is London, Nairobi or back home, Bombay) have been inviting him
to conduct courses in yoga and martial arts.  He has appeared on various TV
shows in India and abroad.
His compassion for suffering people drew him to healing systems.  Now also a
Reiki Master and an advanced Pranic healer, Sensei Nikhil also incorporates
accupressure in his treatments.  It is amazing to see how many of the
chronic and acute diseases get cured by these natural healing systems.
In recent years he was introduced to ³The Art of Living²  and has done
numerous advanced courses. He is a keen follower of the Path shown by his
spiritual master Sri Sri Ravishankar.
Sensei Nikhil¹s main aim is not just to teach how to get strong and how to
fight but the transformation of the student itself. A (w)holistic approach
to life. Sensei Nikhil Trivedi provides a range of residential course in
India to bring out your full potential.  The course also covers subjects
like Ayurveda, ancient Indian herbal medicine, body language etc.
