Tour of Old City JerusalemWe have the tour guide for a full day, he is US born, and is a personal friend of mine. Two of his sons are my students. 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 will visit Ir David (The city of David), which is where the Hebrews lived before the Old City was built. We will be given a VIP tour (special connections). The security guards in this area are excellent, they were trained by myself, Itay and Sharir.
Before doing this we will study together some passages from the Talmud about the High Priest so you will be familiar with some of the ancient rituals.
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, a descendent of these exiled people will be exiled again, this time from his birth land in Europe, and he will return to Israel and resume the ancient fight, he is Imi Lichtenfeld, founder of Krav Maga.
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. This is up to you, so your input is important. Look up Jerusalem on line and see what is most important to you.
Sites in or near Maaleh AdumimMaaleh Adumim is a modern town in the hills of the Judean desert. The name comes from a town that existed in Biblical times.
Things to see: Martyrius Monastery; built by the monk Martiyriuis during the Byzantine period. Excavation of ancient town Beduin Nomads

Local Transportation - Getting AroundMaaleh Adumim is located in the Judean desert, a short ride from Jerusalem.Most Krav Maga visitors chose to stay in Jerusalem and travel to Maaleh Adumim daily. Jerusalem certainly offers more night life. You can take the bus from Jerusalem to Maaleh Adumim, 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. The choice is yours. Non – Participants If you wish to bring a non participant, (friend, spouse, child, guy from down the road) they can participate in the tours. Their only cost would be the entrance fees to the sites in the Old City, ($40 for the day). How to keep them occupied during training time – that is up to you.
HousingThe choice of housing is up to you, but I can help you. A bed and breakfast in Maaleh Adumim or Jerusalem is about $35 a night or less. Food here is rather inexpensive, unless you choose to dine in fancy touristy restaurants.
