Haganah is the Hebrew word
for “defense”, and this system is a complete
Israeli combative methodology based on Israeli martial
arts and Israeli military tactics combining the best
of the best of combat-proven Israeli fighting and
defense strategies. Haganah incorporates 4 different
Israeli systems – Krav Maga, the main Israeli
defense system, and Hisardut, KAPAP, LOTAR which are
the Israeli aggressive systems. Its integrated structure
is the key to its effectiveness.
Haganah was designed not only be effective, but to
be relatively quick and easy to learn and apply in
extreme situations. This is achieved by comprehensive
and systematic training that anyone - regardless of
size, strength, or previous martial art experience,
can successfully develop in order to defeat any adversary,
even those at an advantage. Its uniqueness lies in
its simplicity - what works, and what works best.
Haganah Principles
- Avoid getting hit.
- Don't be fancy.
- Defend yourself in the quickest, safest and most
effective way.
- Use the opponent’s vulnerable and weak points.
- Don't rely on strength.
- Use available objects as weapons.
- If forced to fight, no rules, no limits.
This combat-proven self-defense system is used by military
and law enforcement, and is therefore the ideal martial
art for anybody wishing to defend themselves. It consists
of fitness and conditioning components; hand-to-hand
methods, empty hand-vs.-knife and empty hand-vs.-gun
techniques; tactical knife fighting; and combat shooting.
Haganah is a unique system that is continuously enhanced
and refined. The Israeli Defense Force periodically
updates its hand-to-hand and other combat techniques
based upon its daily combat experience.
