SENSEI GARY ALON ROGOFF
Head of Martial Art Studio -Jerusalem
Rabbi Sensei Alon Rogoff has been training Karate Yuishinkia Karate, Ryu Kyu Kobujutsu weapon training and Tai Chi for 28 years. Over the years of training, he has acquired and embodied the values of this style. He is deeply connected to his Jewish roots and lives as a Torah Jew. He is a qualified interior designer and in 2006 he received his Simchah from The Sheradi Center in Jerusalem.
He has synergized the world of the Torah and the word of the martial arts in his own life. The dojo is the safe place in which a person can practice and master the Midot Tovot, good character traits that the Torah teaches.
As Hanchi Inoue says “The real aim of classical martial arts, is to cultivate "a peaceful, humility, and respect for self and others." It is a method to "meet life" with the awareness to avoid conflict, but "always to be in control, if a conflict is inevitable."
He believes that Israel is ripe to cultivate a new generation of Ben Yisrael, that have embodied the values of Derech Eretz, (the way to intelligently engage this world and others) and excellence. Through this balanced approach, we will emerge to be a true light amongst the nations.
