He acquired a 6^th Dan in this field under Master Rasooli’s direction.  As a student of Master Rasooli, he not only learned different techniques of Ramz-Iran but was also taught lessons in humanity, kindness, modesty and living honorably.  Master Jafari-Pour successfully received the first class certification for training Razm-Iran from the Iranian Marshall Arts Federation.

Through research, practice, study of different publication and his interest in the art of personal defense he became fascinated by AiKiDo.  He started learning AiKiDo in 2001 and his 32 years of experience in practicing and training Marshall Arts and specifically Judo facilitated his learning process and greatly assisted him in achieving a 2^nd Dan International in AiKiDo.  He has been trained under Shihan Ahmad Ali Agh-Saghloo director of Iran AiKiDo Federation and official representative of Japan Aikido, Master Kasuda-Dan 6, Master Tano Chi-Dan 4, Master Homma-Dan 10, Master Kanasava-Dan 6,  Shihan Kubayashi-Dan 8 and Shihan Aray-Dan 7.
