Amir Perets Personal Anti-Terrorism Self Defense and Fitness DVD Set

West Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) December 1, 2005

At age 18, Amir Perets became Israel?s heavyweight full-contact martial arts champion. Already an expert martial artist and national champion, he joined Israel?s Defense Forces (the ?IDF?). Soon he became an instructor of the infantry and Special Forces units for ?Krav Maga,[1]? the IDF hand-to-hand combat system, as well as an instructor for combat fitness. Excelling as an instructor, Amir was assigned to the top level of Krav Maga instruction in the IDF, certifying the hand-to-hand combat instructor course, Having taught some of the IDF top instructors, Amir then was selected for the elite IDF Naval Commando Unit (the Israeli equivalent to the U.S Navy SEALS). There, he built that unit's hand-to-hand combat program and trained them to use it.

After completing his military service, Amir traveled to Thailand to continue to pursue his interest in mixed martial arts by training in ?Muy Thai,? the famous Thai system of kickboxing. Amir then immigrated to the United States and began using his broad experience in mixed martial arts to teach defensive techniques against armed and unarmed assailants to U.S. Special Forces Units, U.S. Federal Agencies and select police department units. Simultaneously, he became a lead instructor at the newly formed ?Krav Maga National Training Center," in Los Angeles California, where he holds a fourth degree black belt.

In his own quest to discover the best elements of many different types of martial arts, Amir continued to study mixed-martial arts, training with and instructing world champion "no holds barred" professional fighters.

Since September 11, Amir has devoted himself to finding a way to bring the same skills he has taught military personnel, police units and professional fighters to the general public. To do so, he has distilled a lifetime?s learning and teaching mixed-martial arts into ?The System: Personal Anti-Terrorism Training? a simple, effective method of dealing with attacks by both armed and unarmed assailants. Using ?The System? and its program of self defense, awareness and fitness, anyone willing to commit themselves to learn can dramatically improve his or her chances of surviving and prevailing in a violent confrontation.

[1] ?Krav Maga? means, ?contact combat? in Hebrew.

Krav Maga New York Launches km X, a Self Defense, Fitness and Life Skills Program for Children Ages 5 to 10

Somers, NY (PRWEB) May 20, 2009

Krav Maga New York, announces that it has introduced km - X; a martial arts based, self defense and character development program for children ages 5 to 10. The classes are taught by certified instructors with experience teaching martial arts to children and whose primary goal is to foster a safe, fun and positive environment.

km X is modeled after the world-renowned Israeli system of self-defense known as Krav Maga and offers a well-rounded alternative to traditional after-school programming. Classes combine fitness, martial arts self defense training and character development.

"In addition to Krav Maga fitness and defense training," says Davide Gristina, Chief Instructor at KMNY, "this specialized program for children teaches life skills through the study and discussion of 'key words' that describe universal emotions, behaviors, perceptions, and attitudes encountered in every day life experiences. We use stories and role playing at the end of each class to teach the importance of key word concepts and demonstrate how they can be incorporated into a child's daily routine."

Children who remain with and actively participate in the program experience an increased level of fitness, coordination, confidence, courage, modesty, and leadership. To further promote a sense of achievement and pride through hard work, respect and commitment, children enrolled in the program are awarded stripes and belts of different colors as they progress through the curriculum.

Classes are held at Somers Sports & Fitness, 245 Route 100, Somers, NY 10589 and are offered Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings at 5 pm. There is also a class offered on Saturdays at 11 am. There is no limit imposed on the number of classes or days of the week a child may attend.

Krav Maga New York Launches Martial Arts Based Self Defense Programs In Somers

Somers, NY (PRWEB) May 20, 2009

Krav Maga New York, located at 245 Route 100, Somers, NY 10589, announces that it has introduced the Israeli Fitness, Fighting, and Self Defense system known worldwide as Krav Maga.

Unlike Mixed Martial Arts, Boxing, Wrestling, BJJ, or other forms of rule-based competition, Krav Maga is designed for real world violent situations where rules simply do not apply. One of the most devastating methods for self-defense, it teaches practitioners how best to neutralize attacks and escape unharmed. Krav Maga is characterized by practical, consistent self defense techniques against realistic attacks. Because responses taught follow simple instinctive body mechanics, Krav Maga is easily learned, easily retained, and can be replicated under stress.

Krav Maga is a favorite among many Law Enforcement, Military, Defensive Tactics and Anti Terrorist Training Units. Agencies having trained in Krav Maga are include Illinois State Police, Denver PD, US Department of Justice, and LA County Sheriff.

Krav Maga's total body fitness has also attracted countless Hollywood stars including Jennifer Lopez, Kristanna Loken, Brendan Fraser and Jennifer Garner.

Although Krav Maga is a belted system, the promulgation and distribution of belts is not the goal. Krav Maga is about street survival, the real thing, and for many students and Instructors, very personal.

Classes for levels beginner through Black Belt are given weeknights and weekends at Somers Sports & Fitness, 245 Rote 100, Somers, NY 10589.

Krav Maga New York participants are taught to manage situations where losing would be potentially fatal. Attack and defense maneuvers aim to neutralize the threat and facilitate rapid and safe escape. Students learn combatives such as punches, kicks, knees, elbows, head butts and how to defend against common punches, kicks, chokes, grabs, and bear hugs, as well as weapons such as guns, knives, and sticks. Just as important, the instructors at Krav Maga New York teach students to function during the stress and shock of a sudden, violent encounter where there might be multiple attackers.

"We help our practitioners manage threat," said Davide Gristina, Chief Instructor at KMNY. "In fact, we help our participants manage a multitude of threats. It's simulation training, and rather simple, at least conceptually. We provide a threat stimulus, and participants get a first hand experience in perceiving it, understanding it, and responding to it. This process builds confidence and increases response time. More importantly though, the process relieves anxiety and calms the soul. Our practitioners walk away feeling safer knowing that they are no longer denying the possibility of a violent encounter, but rather are doing something to manage it and to answer the nagging, daunting question inside each one of us; what would I do if...?"

Krav Maga New York is a Licensee of Krav Maga Worldwide.
