Dojo Caracal
Testimonials
Over the years, students and people from very different backgrounds have come to the dojo, and each of them found something different in the training. The testimonials here were written by people who trained with me, took part in classes or know my way of teaching closely.
Oren Smadja
Olympic medalist (bronze) in judo, Barcelona 1992, and world vice-champion, Chiba 1995.
Highly recommended. For anyone who wants to add a different and somewhat more “exotic” direction to the world of judo, Shai is definitely someone worth learning from.

Martial arts at their best!
Shai teaches with sensitivity and wisdom, with personal attention and encouragement for every student, and with great knowledge and flexibility in adapting the learning to the situation. Highly recommended!

A fascinating class and very varied training. Shai is a patient teacher who explains, demonstrates and is original.

This is the first time in my life I have seen someone teach and work so calmly and quietly in the middle of a fight.

The talk and the explanations about slow work and awareness inspired me in my music playing too. I felt significant progress the very next day. Thank you.
