At the age of four his family migrated to this country in search for a better life. At the age of six Ariel was diagnosed as hyperactive and recommended to be placed in a sport that teaches discipline while exhausting his energy. Luckily there was a karate school 15 Minutes away (walking distance).Ariel immediately fell in love with karate and both him and his family did everything possible for Ariel to follow his dream to one day be world champion.
