Close protection training – FAQ’s:
On the website it was specified that there would be about 8 hours of Krav-Maga training per day. Is that every day?
On most days the Krav-Maga training starts at 0900 hrs and finishes at 16:00 with a one hour break . There will be changes according to participant level.
Are nights open for sightseeing, or is there additional training during these times?
Usually we will schedule 1 – 2 sessions of special Krav-Maga Night Training. On most “training days” we return to our hotel in the afternoon. During touring days – the tour to Tel Aviv/Jaffa may be a day or night tour. One night we dine together. Most other nights are free. It is perfectly safe to walk the streets of Israel, even alone late at night. Street crime is less common than in big cities in the world.
Is the Shooting Session part of the program?
Of course, it is very important part of the course.
What should I bring for the Krav-Maga training (i.e. clothing, gear, etc.)?
Hard groin protection (definitely for men; optional for women,), mouth-guard, shin guards, wrestling/mat shoes (recommended), and tennis/running shoes. If you don’t bring wrestling/mat shoes, you may need to train barefoot on the mats. The tennis/running shoes will be utilized outdoors. Boxing gloves (14oz.) and hand wraps are optional. Jeans/military pants with a good belt will be good for the shooting range. BTW, most of the gear can be purchased in Israel and participants can buy IKMF T-shirts and other equipment here at our Training Center in Netanya. Please bring a bathing suit.
What should I bring for the Touring of Israel?
The sneakers that you wear for training outdoors will suffice, although sandals/hiking boots are appropriate as well especially during the summer; shorts; long pants (for religious sites, and nighttime); short sleeve T-shirts (including more “nice” ones); a long sleeve shirt; hat; sunglasses, windbreaker or light raincoat. Clothing depends also on the season.
What will be the expected temperatures?
In December/January it ranges from 10 – 20 Celsius (about 50-68 F). June 20-30 Celsius (68-86 F)
What is the food like, and how much is it?
Visitors find the wide varieties of food in Israel very good, healthy, and inexpensive. Vegetarians will have no problem, and fresh fruits/vegetables/juices are everywhere. Water is safe to drink, although bottled water is cheap and readily available and recommended for tourists.
