Israeli Special Forces Tactical and Self-Defense Training

Mako Defense teaches the Israeli Method of fighting exactly as it is taught to the Israeli Special Forces. Mako Defense instructors have extensive experience as operators and instructors in the most elite Israeli Special Operations units, including the Israeli equivalents of Delta Force, FBI HRT, Secret Service, and others that have no US equivalent.

The Israeli Method is far more than a typical carbine or pistol shooting course. It is a comprehensive system that prepares students to effectively neutralize any violent threat. Students quickly gain a high level of competence in all aspects of the use of their firearms, becoming more highly trained than many firearm instructors. Students are also taught simple, effective Krav Maga techniques for unarmed defense against armed or physically superior attackers. Krav Maga, known for its extremely efficient and brutal counter-attacks, is taught to many elite forces around the world.

The Israeli Method, forged in a society that is under the constant threat of violent terror attacks, is designed to be as practical for off-duty police or civilians as it is for Special Forces soldiers operating behind enemy lines. It can be effectively used by an individual operating alone, a team of two, a SWAT team, or an infantry platoon. Because of this flexibility, the techniques taught in these courses are applicable to personal self-defense as well as to law enforcement work and military operations.

While Mako Defense courses are the ultimate in self-defense training, they are specifically designed to increase the proficiency of law enforcement, military, and security personnel.

As with any effective martial art, Mako Defense courses are designed so that those who complete a course have the opportunity to enroll in a more advanced course, progressing easily and quickly to the next level of proficiency.
