Krav Maga Israel Training Camp
Israeli Krav International (IKI) offers an intensive but user friendly Krav Maga course suitable for all levels.
We find that a blend of advanced practitioners including high level instructors, with beginners as well as students from other styles, helps to develop a unique program. Each participant develops at their own rate and their pace.
Personal Approach
We take a personal approach and each participant is seen as an individual with their own needs. We address those needs.
While the program is in English we can manage with French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German and Dutch, and of course Hebrew.

How Long is the Course?
The basic course is ten full days however it is actually a little bit longer plus there are options for extensions.
Our first official day of training is a Monday morning and we continue through Friday afternoon. We break on Friday afternoon for the Sabbath.
The Sabbath/Shabbat/Saturday is a day where you can either hang out at your place and rest or join us for religious services, or just join us for a group lunch in the Sabbath spirit.
- Saturday night we have additional optional training. As such this is brings us to 11 days of training.
- The Sunday before our official start is an Orientation Day. We expect you to arrive by this Sunday at the latest. On Sunday you will check into your rooms, meet your hosts, and settle in. We will take you shopping for food. We will take you to a fair money changing place and we will help you in any way that is necessary.
- Sunday night we have our regular Krav Maga lesson with our local group and you are invited to join us for that. Thus you already have another additional training session.
- "Day 11" is the Friday after the conclusion of Tour and Train. This is a day where for those interested we visit the Counter Terrorism base and a full day of training. There is also a possibility for "Day 12" which would be Sunday. That would be a VIP Personal Protection Course. Both these courses involved additional fees. (see below for links)
- There is also the option of arriving early for extra training, or extending your trip and staying later.

Do I Need Previous Experience?
While many participants do have previous experience this is not required. You might ask how can beginners and advanced students train together? Well, they can and when you arrive you will see how this works our very successfully and each participant gets exactly what they need. Each person is teamed up with an appropriate partner under our careful supervision.
What Kind of Fitness Level is Required?
No special fitness level is required other than basic good health. Krav Maga is designed for regular people, not only Olympic athletes. If you need to take a break you can do so at any time. If you need a day off you are certainly allowed.
Can I Test for Rank?
All participants can test for rank. IKI members can also test for instructor ranks. In order to test for instructor one must be a member of IKI.
Do I Receive a Certificate?
You will receive several certificates: Tour and Train participation certificate, Counter Terror course certificate and any other courses you chose to participate in, as well as potential rank diplomas.
Note: Belt tests are an extra fee.
How Do I Reserve a Spot?
To reserve your spot you must pay the $400 Registration fee (with Paypal this is $425)
$400 deposit and registration fee. Non - Refundable.
This
is a processing fee and reserves your spot. This covers us for our
time, effort, and expense in the event the participant does not show up.

course.

What is the Best Way to Prepare Myself for the Trip.
One excellent way is to join our Krav on line distance program. This way you will receive many video clips and will arrive with a better idea of the techniques. Thus they will appear more familiar to you. In addition you will receive a $100 discount for the Tour and Train course.
Purchasing the DVDs is also an excellent way to prepare for the training.

Housing
The choice of housing is up to you, but we can help you. Prices for Hotels or a bed and breakfast in Jerusalem can run from a few dollars per night to hundreds.
I feel it is best to stay in Maaleh Adumim. We do not have any hotels but there are very nice rooms an units for rent ranging from about $20 per night to about $50 a night.
Once you register for the program we contact you and arrange all the details and find accommodations that suit your needs.
Food here is rather inexpensive, unless you choose to dine in fancy touristy restaurants.
Smoke free environment:
IKI is a smoke free environment. Our hosts have made it clear that no smoking is allowed on their premises. If you are a smoker please refrain while you are here, or find a place far away so that it does not affect others.
No smoking during the tours or during the training.
Sabbath:
This is a Sabbath observing community. As such we ask you to respect the feelings and the guidelines of the community. Thus on Saturday there is no playing of loud music, no vehicles, no smoking etc.
Our community is a traditional Jewish one. You will feel very welcome here. Please try your best to fit in and respect the community and they will treat you the same. Those who wish may spend Saturday on their own. Some participants chose to go to Tel Aviv, the beach, or to visit friends, the choice is yours.
