SELF DEFENSE/ ISRAELI COMBATIVES
Q:
Are you guys a hard or a soft style? Offensive or defensive? Do you
emphasize grappling or standup fighting?
A:
Self defense and Martial Arts is not the same thing, so you
need to open your mind to a different way of thinking.
Survival doesn’t know methods or set strategies. It uses
whatever means necessary. If you throw hot coffee into an
angry muggers face, is that offensive or defensive- soft
style or a hard style?
Q:
Do you incorporate firearms into your training?
A:
We incorporate defense against firearms as part of our
standard combatives. Albert Timen, Israeli Special Forces
veteran conducts live fire training on a need to know basis.
Q:
Do you teach knife defense/fighting?
A:
Yes, edged weapon defense is an unfortunate reality. We also
teach the tactical usage of edged and impact weapons. We
also offer courses in improvised weapons and pepper spray.
This is done on a “need know” basis, and a security
clearance is required.
Q:
Are you the same as
Krav Maga?
A: Krav Maga is a generic term, for Israeli martial arts,
much like Karate or Kung Fu. There are many styles and
teachers. Not wishing to be associated with American Krav
Maga, we are teaching real no-nonsense self defense.
Q:
Isn’t Krav Maga the
official system of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)?
A:
Just like there is no “official” gun of the Israeli or US.
Military, what is taught in the IDF varies from platoon,
brigade, and unit and the needs of an individual soldier.
Q:
What is KAPAP?
A:
see our page for more details
HAPKIDO FAQ’S
Q:
What is Hapkido?
A:
see our page for details
Q:
Aren’t traditional martial arts
obsolete, since the UFC?
A:
“The way of the
Samurai is no longer necessary? What could be more
necessary” –Tom Cruise in the movie “The Last Samurai.”
Fighting is about victory over an opponent. Combat sports
are about competition against an opponent. Traditional
Martial Arts is about victory over the self, and the process
of getting there. Interestingly enough, many of the top
fighters in the UFC were traditional martial artists.
Q:
What is the difference
between Jin Jung Kwan and any other Hapkido school?
A:
Nowadays, anyone in the
US
can teach Hapkido. The truth is there are only a few people
who practice Hapkido as it is known in
Korea. There are even less
who are licensed to teach it. Hapkido is not an “add on
system”, as it is being taught many schools. It is a
complete stand alone martial art. We don’t claim to be
better. We just invite you to come see for yourself.
