When Josef Levitis opens the wooden doors of his small studio in Netanya, the space feels more like a living museum than a gym. Heavy stone locks, scarred wooden planks with hand-burned Chinese calligraphy, spears, swords, and iron palm bags sit alongside kettlebell-like training balls modeled on Manchu and Mongolian designs. In one corner, a Qing Dynasty officer's helmet – purchased from an Israeli antique shop whose owners had no idea of its provenance – rests like a silent witness to history.
