CLARIFICATION
AND PUBLIC NOTICE
Since the terrorist
attacks on September 11th 2001 there has been a surge
in so called "Israeli Fighting Systems" in the
United States. Individuals with very questionable background
and limited skills have made claims to be affiliated students
or certified instructors of Hisardut® and/or combat
veterans of the Israel Defense Force. Many American citizens
concern about the growing threat of terrorism were fooled
into buying instructional books, DVDs and training courses
offered by such individuals.
To clarify
matters we would like to remind everyone that military
service is mandatory in Israel and every able Israeli
citizen becomes a soldier in their lifetime. Being a soldier
in the IDF does not mean that they were a combat soldier,
nor does it mean that they were expert in counterterrorism.
Furthermore, all martial arts are very popular in Israel
and many Israelis have trained and attained black belts
in karate, ju-jitsu, kick boxing, kung fu and judo (at
the Olympic level). Being Israeli martial art instructors
does not mean that they were certified to teach Hisardut®.
To clarify
any misconceptions it is important to remember that there
are only TWO authentic fighting systems ("martial
arts") that were developed and originated in Israel:
Hisardut® and Krav Maga.
Both systems
originated and developed in Israel during the same time
period. The two methods share some fundamental teaching
concepts but are clearly distinct from each other.
Krav Maga in
an essence was developed as a BASIC and GENERIC self defense
course (designed as a one week intensive training course)
for the IDF (taught at the Wingate Sport Institute in
Natania). Hisardut® is a complete survival system
that was developed from inception to teach all methods
of engagement, all aspects of survival and personal security.
Hisardut®
teaches "all dimensional fighting"; from a distance,
close range and on the ground with and without weapon.
By comparison, Krav Maga does not teach weapons, wilderness
survival, team tactics, violence management, counter terrorism
and terrorism survival and has just recently adopted some
ground fighting techniques from other martial arts.
WARNING!
Don't be fooled
by amateurs and phony instructors.

Anyone attempting
to represent him/herself as a Hisardut® instructor
without being certified in writing by Grand Master Dennis
Hanover and Master Instructor Alon Stivi and the United
States Hisardut ® Headquarters is a fraud.

AUTHENTICITY of anyone who claims to have studied Hisardut®

Quality & Authentication Declaration:
Unsurpassed
instructional quality, true in-depth knowledge and professionalism,
realistic and innovative training methods, tactics and
techniques tested and proven in the real world, a comprehensive
modern learning curriculum, information that is easy to
understand and retain, are some of the Hisardut® system
advantages over any so-called 'competition'. Why waste
your time and money learning a partial, non-applicable
defense method or martial art tradition if you are serious
about survival. Comparing what Hisardut® offers to
what is available on the market is like comparing the
teaching at the university to kindergarten. Don't be misled
and don't compromise. Hisardut® has no competition
and no comparison. Call or, better yet, come see for yourself.
