David Ben-Elisha (from the Sharabi martial center) won a silver medal at the first world championship in Taekwondo which took place in Azerbaijan on June 10, 2009. Ben-Elisha participated in a competition for handicapped. Ben-Elisha, 43, was critically injured in a terror attack in Tel Aviv in 2003. As a result his arm was amputated. Since the terror attack, Ben-Elisha began practicing Taekwondo and became a successful athlete. He was sent to this unique competition by his well known personal karate trainer, David Sharabi.

ATZUM has been privileged to be of assistance to David Ben-Elish since the terror attack in 2003.
