He obtained his black belt in 1989 and has since taught Aikido to adults and children at various clubs.

Recognising the significance of self-defence in today's world, Aziz sought to find a faster and more practical approach to teaching self-defence. He obtained a BTEC Level 3 Self-Defence Instructor qualification, which provided him with a deeper understanding of the relationship between self-defence and the law, as well as the instinctual response and use of force.
