Short Biography

I was born in Lebanon 1967, in the capital city, Beirut. In 1980 I started to practice Karate Kyokushinkai. My teacher was grand master HASHEM MAKKI, the branch chief of the Lebanese Kyokushinkai organization. 1984 is the year when I attended the 1-st Dan black belt degree. In 1988 I came to Odessa (Ukraine), to study and I organized my first group and started to teach Karate. My club name was Karate Dojo.
In the year 1990 I returned to Lebanon and took a test on the 2-nd Dan. After my return to Odessa, I knew that already exist a Ukrainian Kyokushinkai federation, but from the first contact with them, I felt that I am not welcome in their organization. In 1991 I developed my own federation and style. It was the Simmey-Do Karate or the way of the bright spirit. It is a mix style, so universal. The base was kept from Kyokushinkai Karate with the add of Ju-Jutsu elements and Kickboxing punches. At the present time we have many branches in a different countries . Russia, Ukraine, Chechnya, Dagestan, Armenia and many more. My federation organizes tournaments and my pupils take participation in different kinds of championships. The movement of my federation is continuing, because my style is a way, a way of life and discipline. Let us not forget that the globule meaning of the Karate is not to defeat somebody, but our oneself.
