Comando Krav Maga
Who Created Commando Krav Maga?
Moni Aizik: His journey in martial arts began at the age of eight, training in judo and jujutsu under Opa Schutte. A seven-time national judo champion, Aizik’s expertise expanded when he was tasked with improving the Israeli military’s hand-to-hand combat system, leveraging his knowledge of various martial arts, including Israeli fighting systems, jujitsu, and judo. After his service, Aizik continued his training in Israel at a Maccabi Tel Aviv club, focusing on Krav Maga (CKM), Jiujitsu, and Judo. Among his students was Yael Arad, a 1992 Olympic silver medalist in judo. In the 1980s, Aizik moved to North America and began teaching CKM at the Jewish Community Center in Toronto before opening The Samurai Club martial center, where he taught Commando Krav Maga, Judo, MMA, and Jiujitsu. His influence spread internationally, with his students including UFC Welterweight Champion Carlos Newton. In 2006, Aizik began promoting Commando Krav Maga worldwide. However, Aizik’s claim of being an "Ex-Israeli Special Forces Commando" was contested in the UK in 2008 by the British Advertising Standards Authority, citing unsubstantiated claims, which Aizik attributed to the classified nature of such documentation.
While Aizik played a significant role in spreading Commando Krav Maga globally, the system was initially developed by Moni Isak. Isak took the traditional Krav Maga system, created by Imi Lichtenfeld, and adapted it into a more tactical, military-focused version. He designed it for real-world combat scenarios, emphasizing efficiency, weapon defenses, multiple attackers, and high-risk situations, particularly beneficial for military and law enforcement. Moni Isak’s development of Commando Krav Maga has been recognized by various Krav Maga schools and self-defense organizations, solidifying his status as the founder of the system.
Continuing Comando Krav Maga
Moni Isak held several seminars that allowed individuals to become Commando Krav Maga (CKM) instructors. These intense, 3-day courses were designed to genuinely test a person’s commitment and ability to endure the hardships of combat. Among those who attended one of these seminars was Jacob Lunon, a decorated veteran of the U.S. military and a Chinese martial arts instructor. After successfully completing the seminar, Jacob Lunon earned his certification as a Level 3 Commando Krav Maga instructor and began teaching CKM in Seattle, WA.
The man on the right is widely known as Solomon. He is an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) veteran, having served during Operation Protective Edge. Solomon is also the Grand Champion of the Maccabee Open Tournament in Seattle, WA, and a Level 3 CKM instructor under the guidance of Jacob Lunon. Now, Solomon is launching a similar system aimed at teaching Level 1 CKM courses, designed to introduce new students to the foundational principles of Commando Krav Maga.
In this informative and engaging seminar, we will focus on essential fundamental escape techniques and general striking methods that form the backbone of Commando Krav Maga for all practitioners. The intensity of the sessions is carefully designed to accommodate participants of all skill levels, ensuring that everyone can benefit and grow.
Upon completion of the seminar, each participant will receive a certificate of completion, acknowledging their dedication and the skills they have gained. While this certificate does not designate you as a Level 1 practitioner, it does signify that you have successfully completed the course. Additionally, participants will be eligible for the one-hour long test to become an assistant instructor in future seminars, granting them the opportunity to work alongside the instructors and gain hands-on experience in teaching.
