The HaganaH F.I.G.H.T. program provides the world’s only complete self-defense system with realistic, practical solutions for worst-case scenario attacks/threats. Students learn defenses against punches, kicks and other strikes, escapes and releases from chokes, bear hugs, head locks and other grappling techniques, defense against knife attacks, handguns threats and other weapons with explosive practical reality based tactics. Hudson Valley HaganaH exposes you to the entire core system in just an 18 week rotation which mirrors the Israeli Defense Forces.
Students are drilled to create a mindset that reacts to a violent assault by immediately switching from a victim to an aggressor. Every touch is designed to create damage. Every tactic has both a defensive and offensive element. Techniques are overlapped to “short-circuit” and overwhelm the attacker. THERE ARE NO RULES of engagement. Every technique builds on instinctive responses.
The HaganaH teaching approach is designed to mirror military style teaching while recognizing the time demands and typical fitness levels of the working adult. The curriculum is simple to learn and presented in a comprehensive realistic manner. All material will ultimately rely on muscle memory so the scenarios are therefore short, sweet, and to the point. Students will not have to memorize 100 different techniques that they will ultimately forget when the time comes to REACT UNDER STRESS!
The HaganaH F.I.G.H.T. program is taught to civilians, law enforcement and military personnel. Just about anyone can do it, regardless of strength, size, or physical fitness. You’ll get in great shape, have an absolute blast and get the same kind of confidence of the professionals. The confidence that comes from knowing you can handle whatever situation you might encounter. It’s confidence that comes out not only in physically threatening situations (which will hopefully never occur) but also in your daily life. We include upgraded and evolved scenario training. Our system is continually enhanced and combat proven!
The Israeli Tactical Knife Program is restricted to law enforcement, military and approved civilians. This program teaches use of the knife as a defensive tool and as an offensive weapon (for military). ITK covers all facets of using a knife against an assailant who is also armed with a knife from effective deployment strategies to using reverse grip tactics to draw the attacker into an effective counterattack. Knife-fighting training is an excellent way to develop a keen understanding of how a knife is used in an attack. It is also a great way to develop a sense of the flow of an assault with a knife, improve footwork for all programs, and improve recognition of knife motion and patterns. All of this not only serves to turn students into effective knife fighters, but also importantly helps students greatly enhance their ability to “read” the existence and direction of travel of a knife being used against them. This is a critical ability to possess and to develop for the empty hand versus knife tactics taught in the F.I.G.H.T. program.
This course teaches the Israeli system of Counter-Terror warfare using the semi automatic pistol and assault rifle, as done in the Israel Defense Forces Duvdevan unit . It is an aggressive system that has its philosophies deeply rooted in the idea that distance to the threat must be closed at all costs to be an effective counter terror fighting machine. The Israeli method is one that puts human ability and programmability at the top of its training priorities. Students are taught to use their natural instincts matched with motor memory to react to the stimulus and neutralize the threat. Students learn Israeli methods to include; Firearm nomenclature, Proper weapon clearing safety procedures, Body position for optimum stability, Drawing techniques for urban concealment, Point on target aiming and proper sight alignment, Trigger control, Rapid magazine changes, Techniques for weapon manipulations and instant jam corrections, Closing distance methods, Multiple target acquisition, Entering unsecured areas and much more.
Battle Ready Kickboxing is a professional striking curriculum designed for fast deployment training. This program targets the objective of military application for urban warfare missions against insurgents and terrorists in extreme close quarters environments as only found in the IDF. Battle Ready Kickboxing is the most recent upgrade to HaganaH found in our GEN 2 F.I.G.H.T. program. This is NOT your average kickboxing class!
