Combat Training, Krav Maga, and IDF Experiences in Israel

 

One of the things that Israel is most famous for worldwide is its military and combat techniques.

In Israel, combat recruits (18 years old) must go through months of training, during which, the soldiers perfect their physical and mental skills to transform into IDF combat soldiers. In basic training, they learn the values and fundamentals of combat soldiers, including routine and military discipline, physical training, weapons training, shooting, and the principles of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces).

Our tourists have an option to experience firsthand what it is like to join the IDF, and participate in training of their choice, or learn about the military and Intelligence of Israel.
