Training in Israel in December and January are the months of the holiday par excellence, where we find ourselves with friends and family around banned the boards to celebrate Christmas, the end and beginning of new year wishing the best luck.
year for the teacher Ciro Alessandro Varone Sajetta instructor was not so, both have traveled to Israel from December 28 to January 6 to take part as only Italians in the course of improvement on the technique of martial arts krav maga (body defense in the body), a special technique used by the IDF and the Israeli military nowadays the most important civil and military security agencies in the world, citing only a few: Navy and police units, Australian Air Marshals, Singaporean Army, U.S. Federal Agents, Dutch Polish, FBI, etc..
ten days have been intense: the early morning wake-up, then every day we waited for 5-6 hours of intensive training under the guidance of founder Eyal Yanilov heir and founder of krav maga worldwide, direct student of the founder of Krav Maga Imi system Lichtenfed.
The logistics base of the seminar was Netanya, very beautiful city overlooking the Mediterranean sea: the place where it was mostly trained at the Wingate Institute, un centro sportivo olimpico grandissimo attrezzato e strutturato per accogliere tutti i tipi di sport e non solo.
Oltre chiaramente all’allenamento in palestra le sessioni si tenevano in maniera itinerante e nelle diverse città di Israele negli ambienti più disparati, come per esempio nelle vicinanze del muro di Gerusalemme, al deserto del Masada, nelle acque del mare mediterraneo fino ad Acco e nel kibbutz di Haifa, sulle strade di Tel Aviv, insomma nei luoghi, nei modi e momenti più disparati come purtroppo avviene di solito nella realtà della difesa personale.
I dieci giorni di formazione hanno toccato diversi temi tra cui: difesa personale civile, tecniche di controllo di polizia, tecniche di tiro con armi firearm techniques in hostile environments, urban defense and control techniques, the psychology of confrontation, techniques in water-stress and mental training.
For obvious reasons they were ten days of great tension, both physical and mental, dictated by the fact that in those days was leaving the Israeli offensive on Gaza and Israel that although there were no problems in the upcoming power of the people was still palpable and This leads to a certain nervousness in all environments.
The experience was very important since it has had the opportunity to practice together and better prepared teachers of this method that is increasingly spreading throughout the world, so much so that even in Italy are many requests that come from law enforcement officials and civilians to learn about this innovative and effective method.
Master Ciro Varone as national technical director of krav maga is called throughout Italy to attend postgraduate courses, workshops and seminars organized even many municipal authorities, security agencies, and national police forces.
