Krav MagA Israel training camp

 Israeli Krav International (IKI) offers an intensive but user friendly Krav Maga course suitable for all levels.

We find that a blend of advanced practitioners including high level instructors, with beginners, as well as students from other styles, helps develop a unique program. Each participant develops at their own rate and their own pace. There is a good Teacher - Student ratio and a lot of individual attention. We are not drill sergeants, we are educators. 

Personal Approach

We take a personal approach and each participants is seen as an individual with their own needs. We address those needs. We want to know why you came and what you hope to gain from the program.

While the program is conducted in the English language we can manage with Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese and Dutch, and of course Hebrew.

Our first official day of training is a Monday and we continue through Friday afternoon. We break on Friday afternoon in time for the Sabbath.  

The Sabbath/Shabbat/Saturday is a day where you can either hang out at your place and rest, or join us for religious services, or just join us for a group lunch in the Sabbath spirit. Often we gather informally on Saturday afternoon for coffee and cake and to talk about life, training and our experiences so far. (optional).

  • Saturday night we have additional optional training. As such this brings us to 11 days of training. 
  • The Sunday before our official start is an Orientation Day. We expect you to arrive by this Sunday at the latest. On Sunday you will check into your rooms, meet your hosts, and settle in. We will take you shopping for food supplies. We will take you to a fair money exchange place, and we will help in you in any way that is necessary. If need be, we will also help you in medical matters.

The choice of housing is up to you, but we can help you. Prices for Hotels or a bed and breakfast in Jerusalem can run from a few dollars per night to hundreds.

I feel it is best to stay in Maaleh Adumim. We do not have any hotels but there are very nice rooms an units for rent ranging from about $20 per night to about $50 a night.

Once you register for the program, we contact you and arrange all the details and find accommodations that suit your needs.

Smoke free environment:

IKI is a smoke free environment. Our hosts have made it clear that no smoking is allowed on their premises. If you are a smoker, please refrain while you are here or find a place far away so that it does not affect others.

No smoking during the tours or during the training.
