Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) was born in Russia and immigrated to Israel at the age of thirteen. An engineer and physicist, he studied at the Sorbonne in Paris , where he assisted Joliet-Curie in early nuclear research. He studied with Professor Kano, the developer of Judo, and was one of the first Europeans to earn a black belt in the martial art (1936).
