Instructor and School Coordinator
- 2012 - present
On 12 December 2012 I established the KRAV-MAGA Stability in Motion School
with the aim of creating a more flexible and effective training framework.
I teach ordinary people (men and women, adults and children) to defend themselves effectively
and become stronger, regardless of their physical condition or the time available for training.
By combining physical, mental and emotional training I facilitate personality development
with positive effects for life.
I teach Krav-Maga as a martial art, based on the principles established by Imi Lichtenfeld.
- 2005 - 2012
I taught weekly and intensive Krav-Maga classes in Cluj-Napoca under the umbrella of
BUKAN School of Krav-Maga.
I have trained through weekly courses more than 400 students and 4 instructors,
organized 5 belt exams, 3 instructor training courses and 2 national seminars,
facilitated the opening of 7 new branches of BUKAN School of Krav-Maga in Romania.
Diplomas
- Black belt diploma awarded by Yaron Lichtenstein in November 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
- Graduation of the training for Krav-Maga Instructors organized by the Wingate Institute from Israel in May 2011.
- Instructor diploma awarded in December 2004 by Yaron Lichtenstein, following a 2 years continuous and intensive training with Onn Chen.
Training Courses
No martial art and no master owns the absolute truth.
No instructor knows and can teach all aspects.
Therefore I like to learn from people of value, whatever the martial arts they teach.
In addition to Krav-Maga, over the years I practiced Shotokan, Kyokushin, Wushu, Aikido, Judo and Systema.
I have had the good fortune and the honour to meet some very special people, with exceptional technical skills
and beautiful character - true representatives of the martial arts.

Each instructor learns and improves teaching.
During the course of over 20 years as instructor of Krav-Maga I taught thousands of hours of weekly classes and
dozens of intensive courses.
I am grateful to the over one thousand students who - through their questions - challenged me to
find explanations and see Krav-Maga trough different perspectives.
