ABOUT

I am the Founder, Owner and Head Coach of YR Jiu Jitsu Team. I started my fitness and martial arts journey at the age of 10yrs old. I have a back ground in Fitness, Nutrition, Judo, Muay Thai, Aikido, Krav Maga, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I’m originally from Tel Aviv Israel, my passion is to help people live a full and meaningful life. I am a dedicated Husband and a devoted father of 5 amazing children and a German Shepard.

I opened my first Academy in 2003 today we are 20yrs strong!

I competed at the highest levels all around the country holding many titles, I have trained and helped thousands of students in my lifetime, I have been through some of the darkest moments but through a positive mindset, determination, ability to adopt and change and training I have always found a way to turn negative into positive. 

In 2012 I published my first book "CRAVE the Ultimate Guide to Life and Fitness" Currently I am working on my next book "Pirate Life" 

Jiu Jitsu has helped me become the best version of myself. I am eager to share my passion, knowledge and philosophy with you.
