Dojo founder and head coach
With over 30 years of experience in Japanese martial arts, Sensei Yossi practices researching every movement and technique he has studied and teaches in depth, whether it is empty-handed techniques or with weapons
This is in order to understand the essence of the movement, what it requires from the body and the environment and how it can be performed in the best and softest way (for the operation) – and in order for it to be performed in the most effective way against any attack
