Rabbi Shapiro is a certified instructor in Israeli self-defense systems Krav Maga and Haganah (F.I.G.H.T.). Drawing upon these systems as well as elements of Brazilian Jujitsu and Mauy Thai Kickboxing, Rabbi Shapiro’s techniques teach students how to defend against an attacker who is stronger, more skilled, and even armed. His methods are easy-to-learn, and ideal for novice students as well as advanced martial artists. Rabbi Shapiro also instructs on conceptual principles of self-defense, the legalities of using physical force, and the perspective of Jewish Law (Halacha) on self-protection. Participants are encouraged to wear loose fitting clothing and tennis shoes or sneakers.
