The choice of housing is up to you, but we can help you. Prices for hotels or a Bed and Breakfast in Jerusalem can run from a few dollars per night to several hundred.

I feel it is best to stay in Maaleh Adumim. We do not have any hotels here but there are very nice rooms and private units for rent. They range in price from about $30 per might to about $50 per night.

Once you register for the program, we contact you and arrange all the details and find accommodations that suit your needs.

Smoke Free Environment:

IKI is a smoke free environment. Our hosts have made it clear that no smoking is allowed on their premises (this includes the backyard, balcony, sidewalk etc). If you are a smoker please refrain while you are here, or find a place far away so that it does not affect others.

No smoking during the tours or the training.

Smokers are often unaware of the effect of their smoking on non-smokers. They think that if they step to the side, smoke, and return, that no one will be disturbed. This is not the case. Over and over again non-smokers have told us they do not want to train or be near anyone who has recently smoked a cigarette, the stench stays with the person a long time.

Leave your cigarettes at home! Please.

Food is not included in the tour

Moshe Katz knows his stuff!

All the techniques we went over had real world practicality and were clearly the end result of lots of thought and experimentation by the instructor.

Don't expect to learn stuff that looks cool, but instead be ready to learn realitively simple techniques that, once mastered, are extremely effective in dealing with dangerous situations.

Even though the course is less than 2 weeks, you will come away with an essential foundation for self-defense.

Also, be ready for a deep dive into Jewish history, and a local's perspective on the state of Israel. Whether you agree or not, hearing the viewpoint of a people who's history practically revolves around being persecuted is an excellent way to gain a deeper understanding of the current political situation.

Don't miss an opportunity to tour and train with Moshe Katz

About the Touring
Our Touring is not just "site seeing" as in what a regular tourist would see upon visiting another country. Moshe Katz, IKI head instructor, leads most of the tours personally and integrates that experience with the Krav Maga training. The tours are "Moreshet Krav" - Hebrew for Combat Heritage, as taught in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

The tours are part of your Krav Maga training, just as all IDF recruits must complete these very same tours, so shall you. The tours are the spirit of Krav Maga. This is essential for understanding Israeli Krav Maga. You will walking in the footsteps of warriors and learning their story. You will understand Krav Maga on an entirely different level.

Sabbath:

This is a Sabbath observing community. You will experience life in a Jewish state. You will feel very welcome and comfortable. They will welcome you openly. We ask you to respect the feelings and the guidelines of the community. Thus, on Saturday there is no playing of loud music, no vehicles, no smoking etc.

Our community is a traditional Jewish one. You will feel very welcome here. Please try your best to fit in and respect the community and they will treat you the same. Those who wish may spend Saturday on their own. You can sleep in or go out. Some participants chose to go to the Tel Aviv, the beach, or to visit friends. The choice is yours. You are also welcome to join us for religious services in our synagogues.

Arrival on the Sabbath - Please understand that arrival on the Sabbath presents a challenge for us. We observe the Sabbath and do not drive. Also our hosts where you will be staying observe the Sabbath. Thus, it is better to check in either before, or after the Sabbath. I understand that Saturday flights are less expensive. Some students choose to spent a night in a hotel in Tel Aviv and join us Sunday morning.

Tour of the Old City, Jerusalem

Our tour of the Old City of Jerusalem will cover thousands of years of history including the latest finds, digs and research. You will feel what it was like to live in Jerusalem in the days of the Temple (up to 70 C.E.) and deal with the Romans. You will walk the path where the Hebrews and non-Hebrew walked to get to the Holy Temple, step on the same stones, see the gates from which they entered to offer the sacrifices. You will see the ritual baths where they emerged to purify themselves before entering the Holy Temple, Beth HaMiqdash in Hebrew, and you will see original stones from the destroyed Temple.

We can visit the City of David, which is where the Hebrews lived before the Old City was built. The security guards in the area are excellent, they were trained by myself and other well-known Krav Maga instructors.

You will understand the pain the Jewish people suffered at having lost the most significant building of its time, being sent into slavery and exile, and waiting 2,000 years to return. Two thousands years later, descendants of these exile people will return to Israel and resume the ancient struggle.

Walking the streets of the Old City of Jerusalem you will understand the development of Krav Maga techniques, as you will see the narrow streets and stairways. Sadly, many attacks have taken place here and from these cases we have developed new techniques and approaches. Jerusalem Krav Maga emerges from these streets.

When you return home you will have more of a feel, understanding, and appreciation of Krav Maga than any local instructors. You will also have earned a Tour and Train certificate.

There is much to see in Jerusalem including historical sites of important to Christians.

Maaleh Adumim is a modern town in the hills of the Judean desert. The name comes from a town in Biblical times and is mentioned in the Bible.

Local Transportation - Getting Around

Maaleh Adumim is located in the Judean Desert, a short ride from Jerusalem.

Most participants chose to stay in Maaleh Adumim although a few have opted for Jerusalem. Jerusalem offers more nightlife. You can take the bus from Maaleh Adumim to Jerusalem, Number 174 or several students can share a taxi (divided a few ways it is not bad at all), or some prefer to rent a car.
