Since October 7th, life in Israel has carried on, even amidst the complexities of war. At Krav Maga Israel, we’ve continued to run our camps and courses as planned, offering the same intense, transformative training experience that we always have. While the backdrop has changed, life here remains surprisingly normal. People go to work, children attend school, and the streets of Tel Aviv bustle with energy, humor, and resilience.
What to Expect During Training
Occasionally, we hear a siren signaling a rocket or missile launch. When this happens, we head to a nearby shelter—a routine that’s second nature for Israelis. Public shelters are everywhere, and if you’re unsure where to go, just follow the locals. You’ll notice something remarkable: no one panics. We’ve grown accustomed to this rhythm of life. Once the siren stops, we wait for 10 minutes before returning to training, seamlessly picking up where we left off.
This resilience is a defining feature of Israeli culture. People here have an unparalleled ability to adapt and support one another during challenging times. More than that, they inject humor into tense moments, offering levity and connection when it’s needed most.
Why Train in Israel Now?
While the circumstances might seem daunting, the reality is that Israel is one of the safest places in the world thanks to its robust security systems and community support. Since the war began, we’ve seen smaller group sizes, which means more intimate training sessions and personalized attention from Ron Engelman, our Chief Instructor. These smaller groups have brought together incredible individuals with unique stories and immense determination, creating bonds and memories that last a lifetime.
Training in Israel offers an unmatched opportunity to immerse yourself in the heart of Krav Maga. You’ll not only hone your skills but also gain a deeper appreciation for resilience, community, and self-empowerment.
Beyond Training: The Israel Experience
Israel is a country that truly celebrates life. From the vibrant beaches of Tel Aviv to its world-renowned cuisine and buzzing nightlife, you’ll find a place where people embrace every moment. The weather is warm and sunny, with no rain from May through October, making it the perfect destination to combine training with relaxation.
Israeli hospitality is second to none. Locals are incredibly grateful for visitors and love recommending their favorite spots or helping out when needed. Whether you’re looking for the best hummus in town or tips on exploring Jerusalem, you’ll find that people here are eager to share their love for their country.
Why Choose Israel Over Other Destinations?
While we run courses all over the world, there’s something uniquely transformative about training in Israel. The combination of world-class instruction, cultural immersion, and the camaraderie of a smaller group setting is unmatched. You’ll leave not just as a better fighter but as a more confident, empowered, and connected individual.
Israel has a way of changing you. It’s not just about the training—it’s about the people, the culture, and the resilience that permeates every aspect of life here. If you’re hesitating, our advice is simple: come to Israel. You’ll gain more than just skills—you’ll gain an experience that will stay with you forever.
