Gidon Hover, 7th Dan

Dojo's senior instructor

Began studying Aikido in 1982 with teacher Eitan Ben-Meir.

"At that time I wanted to learn some martial arts. I stumbled upon Aikido by accident at the first week Eitan came to Israel after an extended stay abroad. Looking back, my start seems a rare event, because then we were all beginners, there was only a single teacher and no natural generations of students and teachers at different levels as in every dojo."

"Since, I continued to study and later to teach Aikido which is, of course, not only physical activity for me, but a combination of physical development, spiritual and philosophical one. Over the years I was exposed to various methods and teachers of Aikido and now I see myself associated with the stream represents Tamora Shihan and his senior disciple Nabi Vural sensei which comes to Israel regularly for seminars and exams of senior ranks."
