Ido Portal Ido is a movement artist and teacher that offers a unique, holistic perspective on movement-health-performance using his knowledge in nutrition, exercise physiology, anatomy and various body-mind systems.
Ido started training at an early age in traditional martial arts.
Later in the age of 15 he immersed himself in the study of the Afro-Brazilian Capoeira. Ido was part of the first generation to bring this art into the public’s eye through his work in the media and through teaching children, teenagers and adults in his classes in Haifa, Israel.
In 2003/4 Ido has opened up his second training center – a facility that combined the first official Capoeira training center and the first ‘Hardcore Fitness Box.
Throughout his search to better his own body, mind and movement Ido has extensively researched many subjects, getting into official and unofficial studies of anatomy, physiology, training methodology and science as well as various arts, sports and mind-body practices.
Among other subjects, Ido has researched Gymnastics, Boxing, Dance and movement, Rock Climbing, Yoga and various Martial Arts.
Drawing upon these various practices, Ido has formulated his own approach to teaching movement and the development of various physical capacities as well as well as how the body should be moved, what should it be fed and so on.
