in the engagement part, he basically talks about the principle of war of continuity of action. if you engaging, go all the way in, no going back until mission is done.

This is identical to Paul Vunak's Progressive Fighting Systems, which has been taught to many police and military organizations. I wonder if there was ever any interaction?

Great episode! Thanks!

Great video! Just discovered and subscribed to the channel and I’m really enjoying the content.

Love this video. Haganah FIGHT/Apex is super.

This is what I'd consider a supplemental martial art. I believe you would need a good base in a sports based martial art like Muay Thai or Boxing before learning this, as the instructor himself has.

The Itay Gil method of Protect Krav Maga is tier 1 with the only efficient, effective, knife defenses I've ever seen. And I've been practicing martial arts and combat sports since 1982. Taught combatives in the Army. Survived 14 years in a notorious violent prison. Lived in a 3rd world latin american country. Witnessed more murders and survived more life or death conflicts than I've done anything else on earth. Itay Gil Protect Krav Maga is the only Israeli defense school I'd cosign. Todah. Shalom.

This Haganah was created by Mike Lee Kanarek a guy i’m proud to call friend and brother in arms. The orev 2 sicari knife As well as others created by Mike and Nir are the most awesome combat knives made today. Haganah is so much more than just hand to hand and weapons fighting. It includes anti-terrorism, more weapons and survival. Mike was also on america’s deadlieast warrior isreali masad vs navy seals. Thank you for showing this great complete warrior style.

Haganah is not a fighting style it is the name of the armed resistance forces that later became the IDF. "Haganah fighting" is krav maga (translated close combat). The founder of krav maga, Imi Lichtenfeld, was the chief combat instructor in Haganah.

Great content llan, once again it never misses. I always look forward to your videos When I come from work. Fingers crossed that’ll you’ll able to release instructionals on your speciality blend of self defense.

More martial arts instructors should be like this guy. He breaks everything down to make sure you understand every aspect of the lesson.

Great content, Ilan. This instructor is excellent as well. 👍👍 as always.

Thats a very well behave dog.

Please do a video on Muay Chaiya. It has similarities to 52 blocks and the peekaboo.

That’s refreshing to see HaganaH reviewed. I’d like to also see videos on Albert Timen’s Kapap, Nir M - Krav Maga (Burton Richardson trained with him) and Hisardut which is rarely seen nowdays all reviewed.

Trained with MLK and became a MIA in Haganah and loved the practicality, efficiency then further trained CT 707 KM with SGM Nir MAMAN and it was a blast! I love the POR of Haganah and the knife defense of CT 707 are superb. Train in Jiu jitsu, Hapkido and striking arts and the Israeli art supercharged them! The knife fighting fundamentals remind me of Silat/ FMA…

Great stuff, really liked that guns and knives are an integral part of the system.

Thanks for the video. Interesting system!

Good separation of combat sports and self defence systems. Big overlap but also lot's of differences. Still was not able to hear KM and this particular system comparison 😂

Amazing reminders and key tips for old and new in this video! =) I remember first studying JKD about 32 yrs ago. We incorporated a lot of Filipino martial arts (arnis, kali, escrima, dumog, etc), Muay Thai, BJJ, judo, boxing, wrestling, savate, etc...list goes on and we were fortunate to have our JKD instructor (Pete in Toronto) be so diversified and also encouraged us at that time to continue learning other arts as JKD encourages. New subbie here and loving your content. Im going to binge watch your vids in the next few days/weeks!!! ;) Keep up the amazing work and shout out from Toronto and Montreal!

Are you going to do a video on enshin karate ?

Good video on a martial art I never heard of before

"...no be there" (Nariyoshi Miyagi)

What if the aggressor fights back??

Sounds good, i dont see anything id want to add but its always fascinating to see how more sporty styles of videos are different to self defense styles

I'd like to ask what's the difference between Haganah and Krav Maga?

Ngl, the Krav Maga system I am learning and teaching looks almost identical to this.

Great stuff 😎. Finally, someone showing get out of the line of fire with a gun disarm. I automatically dismiss anyone that doesn't teach that. However, in my own practice I find my best opportunity to take the gun is when I first take the initiative, meaning hand(s) on the gun. I find "shocking them" usually is when they get a better grip on the gun, making it harder to take away. Does anyone have a different experience and how do you make "the shock" more effective???

Interesting video. I’d like to see movie with this self-defense system as the inspiration. It would be cool! The obvious difficulty is pressure testing it, since you can’t have guys breaking each others ankles in practice, for example. That doesn’t necessarily mean it wouldn’t be effective, but it does mean it’s difficult to get the complete muscle memory and full repetitions on par with live situations. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on that point. I don’t have any experience with self-defense systems like this one to speak to how it translates into real-life effectiveness.

Good stuff!

I can see some koryu uchinadi karate influence in that first engagement drill.

Thumbnail: “is Israeli self defense good?” Me: 🙊

Yeah, i was taught to cover your artery. Along with alive hand. I saw thst kid in the mall, knife video. It was sad.

As someone who has trained Krav Maga and Kapap for nearly 20 years like with Dennis survival, Urban Krav maga etc the haganah system is just a offshoot of those.

I can see some people criticizing the combo at 3:15 for being too long, remember in kickboxing we also practice long combos so we can actually do 2-3 of actions in a fight. Long combos are necessary.

Ha... you guys just reinvented the hot water... Go see battle sambo.

No sound

Very interesting, but I'm pretty sure this is just a variation of Krav Maga. This exactly the kind of stuff I saw in Krav when I studied it years ago. I wonder if there is a trademark issue like Gracie Jiu-jitsu vs BJJ.

Heard of Haganah but never seen it. Looks very similar to Panantukan/Kali/JKD up close (especially how he shells with the elbows), we like the foot traps with off-balances too. Very nice. Looks like a blend of that and Muay Thai (but maybe that is just this instructor's personal flavor on it). 👌

Nothing out of ordinary. Or perhaps I saw too many fighting techniques already. Anyways, to put a video about an Israeli art you take a position, very subtlety and I'm glad of your """""""choice""""""

It’s weird to me to spend so much time on the technical details of a self defense scenario without ever once talking about the context. Are you a police officer? Civilian? Bouncer? Are you ready to kill the other person? Just want to ensure your own safety? Do you fear for your life? How much force can you legally exerce? My big issue with most self defense is that these parameters are rarely discussed, or if they are it’s not the part that typically makes it on to KZfaq…

Interesting. Krav Maga was developed as a military system in a life or death (kill or be killed) situation. It was not developed for training in a shopping mall with soccer parents observing and accepting - soccer parents are probably not so comfortable seeing their children taught how to kill. Also, it is hard to know where and what the instructor learned that serves as a basis for the so-called Krav Maga training (by the way, just because the instructor may be Israeli is not a guarantee that he or she was actually trained, or well-trained). Similarly, I have seen videos of experts talking about krav maga as a mediocre martial art. However, they are talking about what is trained as krav maga in the shopping malls. True krav maga is not going to be taught, in all likelihood, to the public. Even in, much less outside of Israel. Having said all that, it was very interesting to see this other (new?) Israeli martial art, which is explicitly self-defense oriented. The instructor was also interesting, in that he does not "look like" your typical martial arts instructor. Other than being a tall guy, he looks like any run of the mill professional or dad, which is also a plus. The things demonstrated were both interesting, and I think effective. One thing from krav maga that, although he didn't say it explicitly, is that you always move forward, take the aggression to the attacker, and keep attacking until he or she is incapable of doing any more harm. This was your third video that I watched, and as you noted, after three we should "like" and subscribe. So I did. The other two - the last one was the Italian family-passed-down knife fighting (great stuff) and the first had to do with a prison-based fighting style. But I like how you present martial arts - unlike a show I saw a day or two ago in which two guys 'graded' martial arts for effectiveness as self-defense systems. I understood the concept, but there are so many problems with that, including disrespect for other styles, that I kind of lost respect for what they were presenting. Your presentations, so far (I am all of a three-time expert) have been more respectful, discussing aspects of martial arts that are or can be useful. You can also discuss what may not be so useful, but do it in a way that doesn't appear like, "I'm all that and they're not."

There is no such thing as an Isaelli martial art. They are using techniques of many other martial arts but don't have their own.
