Personal Background

Martial Arts Background
After having no chance to carry on in my basketball carrier, I was looking for some different sporting opportunities. I discovered Aikido by chance, but after having my first training session at the beginning of 1999, Aikido has became the foundation of my life. Until I had moved to London, I was learning from and training with one of the most well-known Hungarian masters, Laszlo Elsner 5th Dan Aikikai Aikido, who was the first pioneer of this Japanese martial art in Hungary, nearly 30 years ago.
Favourite technique
There are lots of amazing techniques, but if I had to choose I would say Koshi-nage.
Grades held
1st Dan Black Belt of Aikikai Aikido (Hombu-Tokyo)
Hobbies
Go-Karting, racing simulators, traveling, clubbing, cinema
Why Holistic?
Holistic Fitness Studio is not just a Kick-Box club, but a great alloy of other martial arts and also nice people. Aikido has perfectly attached to this profile and it is a great opportunity for all of the club members, with different backgrounds, to share some experiences within the studio.
