Tour of Old City Jerusalem
Our tour of the Old City will cover thousands of years of history including the latest finds, digs, and research. You will feel what it was like to live in Jerusalem in Temple times and deal with the Romans. You will walk the path where the Hebrews and non-Hebrews walked to get to the Temple, step on the same stones, see the gates from which they entered to offer sacrifices. You will see the ritual baths where they emerged to purify themselves before entering the Holy Temple, Beth HaMiqdash, and you will see original stones from the destroyed Temple.
We can visit Ir David (The city of David), which is where the Hebrews lived before the Old City was built. The security guards in this area are excellent, they were trained by myself and other well know Krav Maga instructors.
You will understand the pain the Jewish people suffered at having lost the most magnificent building of its time, being sent into slavery and exile, and waiting 2,000 years. And 2,000 years later, descendants of these exiled people will return to Israel and resume the ancient fight.
Walking the streets of the Old City you will understand the development of the Krav Maga techniques, as you will see the narrow streets and stairways. Sadly, many attacks have been taken place here and from these cases we developed new techniques and approaches. Jerusalem Krav Maga emerges from these streets.
When you return home you will have more of a feel, understanding, and appreciation of Krav Maga than any local instructors. You will have also have a Tour and Train certificate and T shirt.
There is much to see in Jerusalem and it is up to you to determine what you want to see; We will certainly see ancient Hebrew historical sites but we can also see historical sights of importance to Christians, such as churches and places where it is said Jesus was.
Sites in or near Maaleh Adumim
Maaleh Adumim is a modern town in the hills of the Judean desert. The name comes from a town that existed in Biblical times.

Local Transportation - Getting Around
Maaleh Adumim is located in the Judean desert, a short ride from Jerusalem.
Most Krav Maga visitors chose to stay in Maaleh Adumim although a few have opted for Jersualem. Jerusalem offers more night life. You can take the bus from Maaleh Adumim to Jerusalem , number 174, or several people can share a cab (divided a few ways it is not bad at all), or some prefer to rent a car.
Housing
The choice of housing is up to you, but I 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 for rent ranging from about $20 per night to about $35 a night. Food here is rather inexpensive, unless you choose to dine in fancy touristy restaurants.
