Time to work on your geopolitics, and your headlocks, with a Krav Maga road trip.
You might have started out slow, playground wrestling with other kids, maybe weekend karate classes at the local rec centre, so you could be the next Daniel LaRusso, and then a spot of white-collar boxing on your way up in the world. It’s true that your true potential has always been hard to reach, thanks to a gruelling work schedule, not to mention a healthy social life.
However, deep down you’ve always known your body was a weapon waiting to be unsheathed, a thing of precision and efficiency – think Matt Damon in the Bourne Identity –if only there were someone that could draw out your inner badass, and throw in a much needed holiday in the process.
The International Krav Maga Federation organises ten-day trips to Israel, home of (arguably) the most lethal martial art known to man. Created by the Israeli Defense Force as the ultimate hand-to-hand street-style combat, Krav Maga is a thing of fluid efficiency and beauty, as long as it’s not your wrist being snapped like a turkey wishbone.
At a host of locations throughout Israel, from the Dead Sea to a secret kibbutz, you’ll learn from the art’s masters while also getting an insider’s view of this intriguing destination.
Trips include hand-to-hand and weapons training, bed and breakfast, and bragging rights like no other. Now all you have to do is learn to sing Eye of the Tiger. In Hebrew.
