For the last 20 years Bryner has been studying with Shoji Nishio Sensei. Nishio Sensei's emphasis is on the martial arts aspect of aikido and its relationship to jo and sword. He has promoted Bryner to 6th dan in Aikido and 3rd dan in Aikido Toho Iai. Bryner is also a student of Taika Seiyu Oyata, the founder of Ryu-Te, Okinawan self defense art and holds the rank of 7th dan.

The Dojo offers Aikido, Iaido, Ryu-Te, Kobudo, and Kali. Bryner has instructed the California Highway Patrol and was requested to be a member of the LAPD Use of Force Committee.
