About the Haganah Self-Defense System
Haganah is primarily a mix of Israeli martial arts - called Krav Maga and Hisardut - and Israeli military systems. The approaches are all combat-proven to work in a real life setting against today's types of threats. All are blended together in a unique way so that only the strongest most tactically sound approaches from each system are used. There are no uniforms; no bowing. Only practical, simple to learn material is included. It is innovatively structured, using tactics unique to Haganah and oriented toward maximizing an individual's effectiveness in the minimum timeframe. Haganah represents the best tactics in use by Israeli Special Forces operators, police and other professional confronted with violence on a daily basis. To this day Haganah is enhanced by updated tactics flowing out of Israel, and also from information provided by more than 50 programs across America teaching it.
Haganah is unlike a traditional martial art. It's a self-defense system created with everyone in mind. Regardless of experience, strength or size, Haganah helps individuals feel confident in their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones. All Haganah tactics are simple and build upon natural reactions to various situations. They are designed to work even at a great size and strength disadvantage.
Haganah teaches effective self-defense strategies to use to respond to the most common and most severe types of attacks. Continuous training of these same techniques reinforces them, so when an attack happens the response is immediate and natural. Practitioner's bodies "know" what to do to protect them. Haganah does not require years of training. After just one class students experience how easy it is to learn - and are amazed at what they can do. Just a few months yields proficiency. All of this occurs as a result of Haganah's Technique Funneling.
Individuals do not need to be in great shape to start Haganah. The more they do it, the better they feel. While they learn to defend themselves, Haganah helps individuals tone their body; lose weight; build self-confidence and self-esteem, and reduce stress.
Haganah provides a self-defense and fitness improvement solution for every type of individual - men, women, teens, young women, youth and law enforcement and military.
