Dear Mr. Gorelik,
I viewed your website and found what you are doing most interesting, unique and creative.I like the flow of technique to control moves.One of the problems many Uechi practitioners have, is their inability to take the basics and translate these movements into ones that can be used in the real world.I would say that your "sets" approach the problem in a workable manner.
Congratulations on creating something very unique and effective.
Stay in touch,
Best,

Dear Moshe,
After watching and even participating a little in the training sessions of ISAI, I have found that ISAI is a very innovative Martial Art with extremely flowing, continuous and relaxed movements. ISAI also is very effective as a Self-Defence Art.
Best regards,

As a martial artist for over forty years I have made it my occupation to analyze martial arts for their providing technically effective solutions to real hostile aggressive attacks and for their feasibility in terms of natural motion for greater adaptability and easy assimilation by the practitioner. To this end I took it upon myself to create a martial art of my own based on the findings of my analysis. This system is called ABIR and is what I call a modern expression of Ancient Native Israelite Warrior Arts. As an Israelite living on my ancestral soil I believe that the location of my being on this planet has had a dramatic effect upon the formulation of my combat system.
The ISraeli Art of Integrity ISAI was developed in Israel by Grandmaster Moshe Gorelik as a result of his scientific mathematical work on human kinetics as applied to the martial arts. As a man with a spiritual orientation I see the fact that both systems were created in the Holy Land of Israel as a reasonable explanation for the amazing similarities between ISraeli Art of Integrity ISAI and ABIR. All similarities considered, the two arts have undeniable differences that warrant each the right to be their own separate entity. I am very impressed with ISAI as an effective combat /self defense system and feel that it is technically sound as a diverse effective art whose motion theories and principles are in accord with my own.
ISAI has solid methodology and sound explanations of its components using new and unique scientific concepts that I feel will be of great benefit to anyone interested in martial arts, human anatomy and kinetics.
