When you come to Israel to train in Krav Maga you will combine the theory and the practice. You will see the people and hear their stories. You will see eighteen year old girls and boys in uniform carrying around M-16 assault rifles, and various other automatic weapons, and you will see older men who liberated Jerusalem back in 67', defended Israel in 56' and helped fight for it's independence in 48'. And yes you will be stopped at checkpoints, malls and supermarkets, checked and questioned. This is how we survive.
Training in Israel. Learning how to disarm a man pointing an M-16 at you.
Krav Maga Tour and Train Israel Program
" Thank you for a great experience at the Tour and Train. Your techniques are by far the easiest and most effective techniques that I have ever learned. There is no doubt in my mind that I will return.
Take care

A great way to accelerate your Krav Maga progress and learn about the roots and history of Krav and Israel is our "Train, Tour, Study" program in Israel which includes intensive Krav Maga training, touring, and studying the language, history and culture of Israel.
You will see both sides of the conflict; the Jews, the Arabs, the disputed territories. If you have the time you will see where ancient Biblical battles took place as well as modern Israeli battles. At the entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem you will see the bullet holes covering the ancient walls, reminders of a tough battle.
All this will add to the intensity of your training. I have found that those who come even for a short period of time gain a tremendous amount of Krav Maga skill.
Sample topics that we cover;
We begin with hand grabs, shirt grabs, chokes, and abductions. We move on to knife threats, then knife attacks. We deal with every sort of possible angle, close range and from a bit of distance. We cover gun threats from every possible direction and angle.
We move on to hand to hand combat; proper fighting stance (Not the same as karate or boxing or taekwondo), how to block, how to strike using hands, knees, elbows, and legs. We cover defense in confined spaces, in a car, or an elevator. We deal with situations when you are pushed against the wall, attacked with a knife, stick or gun.
We sometimes cover anti rape, hostage situations, school yard conflicts, and VIP protection.
The program is designed based on each individual's needs, abilities and interests, and it all takes place right here, in Israel. This is where Abraham fought, King David fought and ruled, Samson, General Bar Kochba, the Maccabees and the modern IDF all trained and fought to defend this land.
When you arrive in Israel, and even when you first approach your flight to Israel from a foreign country, you will be subject to Israel security. Nothing to worry about, just be honest and all will go well. Before you travel contact me directly and I will guide you.
In Israel many people observe the Sabbath, (Shabbat, Saturday) as such in areas such as the one I live in, there is no public transportation and no taxis. So please try to plan your flights accordingly.
Also be aware that all shops and food places are closed from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday.
Israel uses the same electricity as Europe. For all your Israeli electricity needs please see my friend Yoni Kramer's most helpful website.
