My name is Guy Shpak, and I am a martial artist driven by a deep curiosity about how martial arts shape the brain and impact our well-being. 

 

My way in the world of martial arts started at the age of 12 and has never stopped since, lasting over 30 years now. Throughout the years, I learned and taught Karate, Krav Maga, Tai chi, several Kung-fu styles, and others. After moving to the Netherlands, I was fortunate to find Karate and Kobudo Delft and train under Gonzalo Vilarubia sensei since 2015, where I am still regularly training. I obtained a 3rd-dan degree in Shito-ryu karate from the NFK on 23/06/2024.  In addition, I am a certified Krav Maga instructor.

  

I try to integrate all the knowledge I learned to find the common threads that connect it all. As a neuroscientist, I am interested in how martial arts modify our body and body's physiology to promote our mental well-being. For more information, please visit The Mind-Set Framework.
