We created the Krav Maga Immersion Camp as an inclusive and intensive program that welcomes everyone, regardless of their skills (beginners are welcome), age and fitness ability. Our idea was to use our passion for Krav Maga to create a 7-day program that would have a meaningful impact on people’s life. Get ready to step into a high-paced environment where beginners, intermediates, and advanced practitioners train side by side, fostering an atmosphere of camaraderie and shared learning.

Our Immersion Camp takes you on a journey that extends beyond the realms of regular Krav Maga training. We dive into a broad range of topics, incorporating an assortment of essential skills - from striking and defensive tactics to stress drills and threat neutralization. The program includes Close Quarter Combatives, Fighting on Public Transport, Counter-Terrorism Simulations, Military First Aid and Mass Casualty Management, Beach Training, Outdoor Training in Israel's Historical Battle Sites, Executive Protection, Military and Police techniques and IDF Style Boot Camp.

But the Immersion Camp isn't just about honing your Krav Maga skills. It's also about immersing yourself in the vibrant culture of Israel. Experience the exciting nightlife of Tel Aviv, its beautiful beaches and food scene, and discover the historic treasures nestled within our ancient cities such as Jerusalem and Caesarea.

In homage to our roots, we visit the grave of Imi Lichtenfeld, the founder of Krav Maga, reflecting on his teachings and his significance in our lives. Imi’s legacy continues to inspire and empower people around the world.

We also take a guided tour at the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem, paying tribute to the resilience and courage of those who inspired the creation of Krav Maga. The museum tour holds a deep significance to our Head Instructor Ron Engelman who comes from a family of Holocaust survivors. For him, Krav Maga isn’t just a sport; it is a testament to resilience and a tribute to survival. Ron believes that everyone should have the power to protect themselves and their loved ones, a lesson learned from history and fueling in every Krav Maga technique.

As the week unfolds, you'll be faced with a true test of your mettle – the infamous sand dunes training. This grueling final challenge pushes each participant to the edge of their personal limits. And, upon completion of the camp, you'll receive a certificate of training, a testament to your hard work and perseverance, and a milestone in your Krav Maga journey.

With about 6h of training each day, our 7-day Immersion Camp provides an experience equivalent to five months of regular, twice-a-week Krav Maga training. Yet, the enduring friendships formed during the camp often outlast the physical training itself. With a dedicated WhatsApp group for each camp, participants can connect before, during, and after the program, coordinating meals, outings, and sharing their personal experiences.

After this Immersion Camp you will get to understand that Krav Maga is so much more than self-defence: it is a legacy of survival, an affirmation to life. During the Immersion Camp you don’t just train your body: you also nourish your spirits, strengthen your resolve and deepen your understanding of why we do what we do.

We are passionate about Krav Maga, and equally passionate about Israel. Our Immersion Camp is our way of sharing these dual passions with the world, providing a platform for personal growth and the creation of a global Krav Maga community.

What level of Krav Maga do you require to participate to the camp? 

The camp program is suitable for practitioners of all levels from beginners to experienced Krav Maga instructors. We also have a seperate program exclusively for instructors. More info →

What’s included in the cost of the camp?

The cost includes the 7 days of training and daily transportation to the training sites (Jerusalem, Netanya, Caesarea etc.). It doesn’t cover flights, accommodation and daily meals although we can help you organise these as well if you wish.

Where should I stay?

Our daily meeting point is near Gordon Beach in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is not huge and any hotel/AirBnB in central Tel Aviv will grant you easy access. We have a list of hotels we recommend based on client feedbacks.

When should I arrive & depart?

We recommend arriving 1 day before the start of the camp at the latest, and flying back either the day after the camp finishes, or following our 2 day tour of Israel.

On the morning of Day 7 - the last day of the camp, you will be taken to the sand cliffs below the Wingate Military base. This is the place where all Krav Maga instructors in the Israeli Defence Force must go to certify. We start the day at the break of dawn with a gruelling training session. As the day progresses you will climb the legendary sand dunes of Wingate fighting each step of the way against a seemingness endless stream of attackers armed with knives, sticks and guns; All under the watchful eyes of your instructors. Decisive action, stress management and grit are key to successfully passing this challenge. Fitness plays less of a role than you think. Each participant is pushed to the edge of their own personal limits wherever the may be. You will probably learn a thing or two about yourself in the process.

Congratulations! You’ve made it! Now it’s time to head down to the beach, jump in the crystal blue waters and have a beer or two. You’ve earned it.

Upon successful completion of the immersion camp, you will be awarded a certificate of training. This documents the 40+ hours of Krav Maga you completed over the duration of the course (equivalent to 5 months of training Krav Maga twice per week).

“I did a one week Krav Maga camp in May. Although I am new to Krav Maga, I had an incredible time & took a deep dive into the Krav world. Ron & Jarrod are incredible instructors and I would do it again in a heart beat. We trained in different locations (beach, military base, forest, Jerusalem) and got to meet the best of the best Krav Maga teachers in Israel. This is a memory I’ll never forget. Thank you Ron & the entire team for this fun challenge!”

Lisa. Austria

“Krav Maga Israel 2022 was an incredible, amazing experience in every respect. For Krav Maga, Ron and Jarrod are not only world-class instructors, they are great people and excellent teachers. Everyone attending the camp became great friends - I could not have imagined being with a nicer group of people to train with and hang out with each day. With all the different places we trained at, places we visited, and the touring days after camp, we got to experience the amazing food and culture of Israel. If you are thinking about attending a Krav Maga Israel camp, do it - you will take home many wonderful memories and have the experience of a lifetime.”

Pete. Canada

“I did the Krav Maga Camp in May 2022. Once in a lifetime experience! Ron and Jerrod were able to crest an experience that combines technique, fitness, cultural experience of Israel and a social atmosphere. Amazing group and great friends made along the way! The group is big enough that allows you to find people of different levels of Krav Maga and fitness overall, allowing good matches for beginners and experienced fighters alike. One of the best trips I have ever made.”

Caio. United Arab Emirates

“Excellent Krav Maga training camp and great overall experience - can highly recommend.
Instructors Ron and Roee not only did a great job teaching us real-life applications of Krav Maga in different scenarios and locations, but also succeeded in conveying important cultural aspects of Krav Maga and Israel as a whole to the group.
The programme is suitable for all levels and includes training at beautiful locations (e.g., Ben Shemen Forest, Jerusalem, Caesarea).”

Marvin. Germany

“One of the best experiences ever! I attended the Krav Maga Israel camp in May 2019 and it totally exceeded my expectations. We got to train in varied locations (indoors and outdoors) with experienced instructors who are experts in different aspects of combat. There was a great balance of training, cultural activities and opportunities to socialise. The camp caters for all experience and ability levels and we were encouraged to push ourselves beyond our limits within reason. Last but not least, food in Israel is amazing! Highly recommended!”

Gaby. Australia

“I was a total beginner with no prior experience in martial arts. Krav Maga camp in Israel was amazing despite my me being a beginner. I learnt so much and made amazing friends!
I took the private training with BAR and it was AMAZING! He is such a great practitioner, instructor and friend! I will most certainly be back to TLV for more!!!”
