A unique opportunity to study martial arts in Israel while following in the footsteps of Jewish Heroes. From Judah the Maccabi to Joseph Trumpeldor in Tel Hai, from Deborah the prophet to Hannah Senesh, the paratrooper-poet, Jewish heroes have led our people with their strength and wisdom. (Participants will visit the actual locations of historical events and identify with Jewish and Zionist concepts of self-defense, courage and survival.) This program will inspire your soul and strengthen your body while giving you practical skills to be a leader in your community. Participants will be taught a variety of martial arts such as Karate-do, Judo, Aikido or Krav Maga (the Israeli selfdefense system that has become popular the world over) by the finest instructors in Israel. Accommodation will be provided at Hadassah Neurim Youth Village, located in central Israel, just north of Netanya. The village offers spectacular views overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and is just a 2-minutes walk from the beach. Practical training sessions will be held at the new Israel Academy of Martial Arts – The Budokan, conveniently situated in the youth village.
Core contents of the program:
Traditional and practical martial arts studies, Jewish studies, Hebrew lessons, many trips, leadership workshops, encounters with Israeli youth and volunteer teaching throughout Israel with Budo for Peace (www.budoforpeace.org).
