“With a long history and passion in martial arts and military combatives training; I can attest to the no nonsense and effective training of Combativs. As a practitioner of Israeli Hand to Hand Combat over 8 yrs. I’ve found the information provided by Al to be invaluable and eye opening in the use of lethal force. The  information presented is just what I was looking for and missing from my current (Krav Maga) training. The information provided is definitely not taught in dojo’s and you would be very challenged to find this information outside the military community. This training has changed not only my approach to training but also mindset. I’ve found Al to be very knowledgeable and passionate about his work and always readily available to address any questions I had. He knows his stuff and is a wealth of knowledge on the subject. He is the real deal and I’m very grateful to him for seeing a need to share this highly sensitive, and secretive information with civilians. As a result of this training my knowledge base has increased in a very short period of time along with a new level of confidence obtained knowing that in the event of a life or death situation I will be prepared to neutralize the situation.”

“Combativs training with Al is a must for everyone, especially for women who want to be able to protect themselves in dangerous situations since it’s not about the strength and size but the right tactics and right mindset. Al teaches a lot about both. Being a woman myself and having some experience with Karate training in the past I found Al’s program to be very powerful and effective within a short period of time. It definitely helped me to build more self-confidence and learn necessary skills that are not taught anywhere else. But even without any martial arts background anyone can learn very important lessons that could one day save their life. It’s a real pleasure to work with Al since he is very experienced and interesting person that happily shares his vast knowledge in a very comprehensive way. I would definitely recommend learning from Al. It’s a great program and is well worth it!”

“COMBATIVS is an essential life skill”

Absolutely a phenomenal experience by a very well rounded and educated teacher. Al is a true master at his craft. We as a group have learned life saving techniques that are priceless! Highly recommended!!!!

“As a 59 year old woman I have always been aware of the evil in the world and worried for my safety. Even taking Krav Maga and Kung Fu in the past. But, after having Al teach me COMBATIVS, I feel like I can actually defend myself. I highly recommend everyone to learn this program.”

“The Military didn’t even teach us this kind of material.”

“Combativs is a self-defense program that cuts right to the chase, eliminating any redundant movements that get in the way of efficiency and achieving your target: to save your life and the lives of your loved ones. Combativs is not a martial art and does not deal with redundant katas, extreme discipline or sportsmanship; it’s about survival and getting the job done. Training is not based just on teaching you the actual physical moves, but also on preparing you psychologically through behavioural engineering so you can be prepared to face any situation you might encounter: a dark alley, an isolated parking lot at night, a break-and-enter, etc. In such situations your purpose is to survive and protect your loved ones, anything else will get you killed. Through economy of movement, years of research of what works out in the field and behavioural engineering, Combativs provides one of the best self-defense training courses out there. It is easy to learn, the moves are ergonomic and natural to the human body, simple yet deadly. No martial art training or any kind of physical training is required. It is designed for the average person of reasonable health and strength. Anyone can learn it.”

“As a generally inexperienced civilian practitioner in the arts of self-defense and Combativs training I found the program to be a very efficient, effective, practical, and real method of self-defense and self-preservation in times of high level violent situations. 8Al is a very learned, patient, and proficient instructor of the Combativs system. He is a professional with a very calm, relaxed, and supportive approach to his teaching methods. He creates an environment very conducive to learning the skills and techniques presented while at the same time providing the experiential practice space coupled with his guided personal input to help you master and perfect each and every technique. I am very appreciative of Al for imparting his knowledge to me and others as this training is invaluable for anyone wanting to be in a position to protect themselves and their family. Not only does it give you more confidence in defending yourself but it also brings you together with likeminded folks of which add to the overall learning experience.”
