The name Haganah does not only represent the power and uniqueness of the fierce Israeli system, it signifies what our school is all about; Integrating together in a very unique way the worlds most effective Martial Arts styles into a Total Self-Defense hybrid system. We link together the effective elements of self-defense, striking and grappling; Integrating the energy of the workouts values with the character, discipline and confidence building values into a Total package of success.
Haganah offers two programs for youth:
Strengthening Children From the Inside-Out
In the past the study of the Martial Arts was considered synonymous with soccer, baseball, horseback riding and other similar after school activities. Today, it is widely recognized by many educational experts to be far more than just extra curricular activity... it is a physical training program that empowers children with powerful techniques and strategies that strengthen them from the inside-out for lifelong achievements!
Real Self-Defense
In a real life self-defense situation, there are no rules, no referees and no time limit. Unlike Tae Kwon Do and other generic Martial Arts, we offer a simple curriculum to kids that has been rigidly tested and proven to effectively address the realities of a real physical confrontation. The techniques are street-smart, easy to learn and almost impossible to forget, rather than astound our students with gymnastic like and spectacular techniques that have little or none real applications, we concentrate on techniques that are simple gross motor skill and have developed a training curriculum that instills muscle memory so the techniques learned will keep the children safe in the face of danger.
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.
Fitness Impact Training (F.I.T.) conditioning programs use Haganah techniques combined with objective-specific exercise to help individuals lose weight and feel great while preparing them to succeed in the system. Elements of these are incorporated throughout the self-defense programs.
Haganah has two hand-to-hand self-defense specialty programs for people of all types and ages. One - Self-defense And Fast Escape (S.A.F.E.) - assumes in its approach that escape is a viable option for the victim. The other - Fierce Israeli Guerilla Hand-to-hand Tactics (F.I.G.H.T.) - assumes that escape may not be viable.
Haganah also has two weapons training programs - Israeli Combat Shooting (I.C.S.) and Israeli Tactical Knife-fighting (I.T.K.). Finally, it has Israeli Professional Tactical Training (I.P.T.T.) at its peak which is currently used to train various law enforcement and military personnel, including FBI, DEA, SWAT, Secret Service and others.
