Since 1997 Sensei Nilo has been providing instruction in Aikido and related martial arts in Jeddah and other cities of Saudi Arabia, and has travelled to other countries of the Middle East and Asia to train, teach and propagate Aikido. He has taught individuals from many walks of life – OFWs, expatriates, students, professionals, Prince Mohammad and his bodyguard, practitioners from other martial arts discipline, kids and others. He has developed a teaching method and curriculum based on his study of different styles and derivatives of Aikido since 1993 and his teaching experience since 1997. This curriculum is the standard syllabus for all individual members, black belt members, instructor members and organizational members of Shuseikan Aikido Federation.

After teaching Aikido in Saudi Arabia for 10 years, Sensei Nilo decided to transfer to Qatar, with the fervent hope to be able to share the same wisdom and noble teachings of Aikido in Qatar, as he did in Saudi Arabia.
