Murat Özveri
Murat Özveri was born in 1969, in Istanbul. He graduated from İstanbul Erkek Lisesi and Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry. He completed his PhD at the Periodontology Department at the Faculty of Dentistry in Marmara University.
Short after he started with modern sports archery he came across the magical world of traditional Turkish archery. He started to work systematically in order to repair the broken chain of tradition, to recover and save the know-how that had been lost in history.
He founded Okçuluk Araştırmaları Derneği (Society for Archery Research) with a few friends of him (the society came to an end in 2008). In 2006 he founded the very first archery re-enactment team in the Republic era and put the very first show onto stage. He did research in museum collections and participated in some other research. In 2007 and 2008, he represented and introduced Turkish archery at the 1st and the 2nd of World Traditional Archery Festival, organized in South Korea, and in 2014 and 2015, at the 1st and 2nd Yecheon International Archery Festival, again in South Korea.
Özveri has been teaching archery by following the authentic Ottoman training methodology under the banner of Tirendâz, which he founded in 2008. He and his students have been participating in traditional archery competitions organized in Turkey and abroad. Giving lectures in Turkey as well as in other countries, he keeps consulting documetary films, doing scientific research in museums, writing articles and participating in TV programs.
