Around nine years ago I started to study Aikido Martial Art with the first teacher who brought this Method to Israel . His name is Eytan Ben Meir. and since learning with Eytan i couldn't learn with other teachers. When Eytan stopped his classes in Tel Aviv , i stop doing Aikido in Israel because i couldn't trust any other teacher . Learning Aikido for the first time with Eytan was like to born into a new Family , He was a teacher but also a guide for life principles . Every exercises was not only a technical explanation more over a guide for understanding your own individual center in life and trust it to guide you in the right way and for that reasons i'm glad i started Aikido with Eytan. When i traveled to USA , Eytan recommended me to take class with Mike Abrams http://www.nyaikikai.com/instructors.asp and Robert Ishibashi http://www.laaikikai.com/instructors/ . Both were a fantastic experience for me , it was almost like they spoke the same Aikido Language as Eytan does. No wonder he recommended them to me .
