Position within Holistic M.A.S.

Assistant Aikido Instructor, responsible for Children's Aikido Classes

Personal Background

Born in Hungary. Been living in London since 2004 doing a PhD in Information Retrieval.

Martial Arts Background

After trying various sports at the university, I wanted to do something 'extreme', so I started Aikido there in 1999. I immediately fell in love with this martial art and attended almost every class and summer camp before coming to London where I started a PhD in Information Retrieval in 2004. I couldn't afford high quality trainings for a while so I was delighted when classes at Holistic started in 2005 where I have been training twice a week ever since. I have started teaching Aikido to children in January 2008.

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.
