In this raw and unfiltered episode, two friends and Krav Maga instructors, Ron Engelman and Ron Rotem, sit down—over homemade moonshine and fine bourbon—for a no-holds-barred conversation on tradition, technique, and the deep Israeli roots of Krav Maga. From the battlefield to the training mat, they debate everything from knife defense and lineage to instructor integrity, the culture clash between East and West, and how October 7th reshaped their entire perspective on self-defense. Equal parts laughter, hard truths, and war stories—this is what happens when two veterans talk shop without filters.Note: Bring a drink. You're going to want to settle in for this one.www.kravmagaisrael.com
To close out our Father's Day series, I'm joined by Rick Vigne — a father figure, friend, neighbor, and Krav Maga instructor — for a powerful conversation on what it means to lead with strength and discipline.Rick has always been someone in my life who exemplifies a strong work ethic. He and his wife, Ginny, have been foundational figures in my journey, and today, I wanted to share the wisdom I've grown up hearing from Rick with the whole community.This episode marks the season finale of Coffee and Crystals Season 5 — a perfect place to pause and reflect as we settle into the grounding, family-centered energy of Cancer season. We'll be back for Leo season with fresh new episodes... and fun fact: Rick is a Leo!
Sagi Dovev, former head of Krav Maga for Israel's elite special forces unit Sayeret Matkal, shares his extraordinary journey from shaping warriors to rebuilding them. After October 7th, he began training severely wounded soldiers—many of them amputees—using martial arts as a tool for physical and emotional rehabilitation. In this powerful episode, we explore the warrior mindset, resilience under fire, the power of martial arts in healing, and the profound human stories behind recovery. This is not just about combat—it's about rebuilding strength, identity, and hope from the ashes.www.kravmagaisrael.com

The John Hallett Podcast | Episode #87Welcome back to another episode of The John Hallett Podcast! In Episode 87, we break down one of the most vital concepts in self-defense: Situational Awareness Zones.Whether you're a seasoned martial artist or someone just starting their journey, understanding your environment can mean the difference between avoiding danger and walking straight into it. This episode is all about training your awareness like a skill—because it is one.
Ob Karate, Judo oder Jiu-Jitsu. Kaum jemand vermag mehr darüber zu sagen, als dass es sich um Kampfsportarten aus Fernost handelt. Was aber verbirgt sich wirklich hinter den exotisch-geheimnisvollen Namen?
Welcome to the John Hallett PodcastHey everybody, welcome back to the John Hallett Podcast! Today we're diving deep into combative zones and action zones — the various distances and decision points you face in a real-life self-defense situation. These are critical concepts for anyone serious about their personal protection, especially those training in Krav Maga and other martial arts.We want to thank our growing community of listeners. If you want to support the podcast and our mission, check out SuckLess.co, our online training portal ClearSky.Training, and of course, our in-person programs at Rocky Mountain Self Defense & Fitness.Training the Mind and the BodySelf-defense isn't just a mental game. It's not enough to understand concepts — you have to train them physically. You have to push yourself, challenge your excuses, and build real-world skills through hard training.That's why I still do things like cold plunges. Not because I love it, but because it builds mental resilience. That mindset translates directly to self-defense. The world isn't getting safer, and we all need to be ready to act, not just think.Let's Talk ZonesWhen we break down combative zones, we're talking about the physical distance between you and a potential threat. Each zone requires different skills, awareness, and action. Here's a breakdown:Zone 4: Awareness (15–25 ft)This is your first line of defense — the decision-making zone. Can you spot a threat before it becomes an attack? You have a few seconds (maybe less) to:Recognize threatsCreate distanceCall 911Use command presence or verbal de-escalationThis zone is fluid. Someone athletic can close that gap in under 2 seconds. Train your awareness and threat recognition here.Zone 3: Engagement Prep (10–15 ft)Things are escalating. You may need to:Use tactical movement (create angles or barriers)Deploy a front kick to keep someone backConsider a weapon draw (only if truly justified)Training the front kick is essential here. But if you mistime it, you're vulnerable. Practice with movement. Don't just hit pads.Zone 2: Striking Range (5–10 ft)This is where people freeze up. You're now in a fight whether you like it or not.You must strike first if the threat is imminentWeapons like knives or guns may come outThis is not the time to reach for pepper spray or a firearm unless you've created the space to safely do soZone 1: Clinch / Close-Quarters (0–5 ft)Welcome to the worst-case scenario. You're being grabbed, taken down, or attacked with deadly intent. Now it's:Elbows, knees, headbutts (if trained)Weapon redirection and controlRelentless attack until the threat is neutralizedLadies: if someone is close enough to grab you, there is no half-measure. Be overwhelming in your response. Training breeds confidence and control in these critical moments.Reality-Based Training: Citizen Defender ClassThis is exactly what we do in our Citizen Defender class at RMSDF. You can't just train on a flat range and expect to perform under stress. You need:Stress inoculationScenario drills (Quantum Leap drills, for example)Close-quarters decision-makingWe train everything from pre-fight indicators to 911 protocol and what to say after a defensive incident. These are the real-life details that make the difference.Don't Wait. Train Now.Every day you delay is another day you remain unprepared. Our Clear Sky Training Portal lets you train from anywhere. And if you're local to Castle Rock, come train in person. You don't need to be fit. You just need to start.And for new listeners: we're offering one month free to get started. No excuses. No delays.Visit RMSDF.com and ClearSky.Training to start your journey. We promise, you can do this. You just have to show up.Up Next on the Podcast Stay tuned for future episodes on:Time Hierarchy in Training5 Elements of Self-Defense LawDegrees of AssaultThe Truth About Martial Arts Failure RatesWhat to Do After a Self-Defense IncidentTrain smart.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. NY correspondent Luke Tress joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's Daily Briefing. Columbia University has agreed to a series of changes demanded by the Trump Administration as a precondition for restoring $400 million in federal funding the government pulled this month over the school’s handling of antisemitism on campus amid pro-Palestinian protests against Israel. Tress has been covering the anti-Israel protests that have erupted since October 7, 2023, when Hamas slaughtered 1,200 in southern Israel. We speak about new measures that Columbia is taking — especially the restriction of face masks — and discuss whether they will change the intensity of the protests. Relatedly, on Friday, detained Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil appeared briefly in immigration court at a remote Louisiana detention center as his lawyers fight in multiple venues to try to free him. We discuss the continued debate within the Jewish community over immigration rights and free speech, versus the safety of Jewish students on campus. Finally, we speak about a trend among US Jews who are looking for increased self-protection through a variety of measures, including taking self-defense courses such as the Israeli martial art, Krav Maga, or, as in a piece we recently published, highly trained -- and highly expensive -- protection dogs. Please see today's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Send us a textWhat's up love doves! This chat features friend of the show and inimitable renaissance woman Munira Mona Morsy. Mona is a writer, poet, artist, and fight coach. We chat about a variety of topics including: artistic expression as an essential means of cultivating a healthy and dynamic culture, the intersection between comics and poetry, honoring migrants and migrant rights, and we even shift gears and discuss some nuts and bolts about self-defense and self-defense mindset, emphasizing the importance of ladies knowing how to physically defend themselves. Learning martial arts techniques not only builds confidence and neuroplasticity, it also equals things out if you consider yourself petite and are intimidated by larger humans. Remember ladies: dudes have one major vulnerability between their legs, it's really just waiting there to be kicked if need be. We even dip a toe into post-election stuff, and I feel it's always healthy and important to talk about difficult and polarizing issues in a respectful and productive way. We need to listen to one another more, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing head space!Check out Mona's innovative poetry comics on Instagram @thelighthousemonocle.

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. We are talking a bit about the RM SDF move here and just your footwork and fundamentals in Krav Maga, just had, you know, two second degree black belts. Just, you know, we're doing some basic 101 stuff today, and it's not also basic when you get down into it.There's just so much more, you know, and how much you want to focus and really get good and get a masterful understanding of what you're doing, because there's just so many degrees of learning, and you got to just focus on that. Guys, we see people, um, with toes on the ground, you know, no good contact, and it takes some time, you know, how much bandwidth do you want to put into your fight stance, into your self defense?Hey, you're going to be better, is what I told one of the coaches. You know, students come in once or twice a week, and, you know, maybe they're spending just that. That's the only time they're focused. Maybe, you know, here and there, they think about something. Maybe on the drive home, whatever, they're driving to class, and maybe they're thinking about it, and then you get the people that are thinking about it all the time.How much bandwidth are you capable of or want to devote to your self defense training and, you know, to second, uh, degree black belts today? Just really getting deepest into just your fight stance and the timing of that punch coming from that krav maga non ready position. Right. I wasn't ready to defend myself, and I need to go from a neutral stance.Those of you guys don't know it, essentially just staying in their toes, kind of in around the same line, and you're bursting into that fight stance, sending a weapon, possibly addressing a stick defense, a knife attack, and you're doing a 360 or a redirection against that stance and the timing of that punch and where your foot is when that punch lands, you can really get deep into the weeds and get a deeper understanding of it, you know?How much bandwidth do you want to put into it? Some people want to put in a whole ton. Some people just want to just be a little bit better. Hey, as long as you're doing something, in my opinion, at least you're better. You know, you're spending 2 hours a week focused on your self defense.That's better than zero, um, that most people do out there. You know, if you're doing any martial art, I give you credit for doing it. Do something, man. Just get a little bit better. Be able to protect yourself and your family, it blows my mind on men that, you know, especially, um, women need to defend themselves.But I'm a guy, so I'm speaking from my standpoint that, man, you gotta be able to defend your family. And there's such a misconception out there, you know, I gotta fight in 8th grade. You think you can defend yourself at 40? You're kidding yourself. You got to do something.And that's where, you know, my passion for self defense and krav maga and where it started, you know, go home. I want to be well rounded. Um, I feel, you know, different Krav maga schools offer different things. You know, what we do here at RMSDF is encompass. You know, the firearm, self defense, you know, whether it's on the ground, standing up, you know, weapon defenses, there's a lot of competition stuff, that's great.But if you're not with that weapon all of the time, you know, uh, all of the time, a majority of the training time, it's just words. You're just talking. Yeah, this is what I would do against the knife. But if you're not doing it on a weekly basis or on a regular basis, I think weekly, um.You're fooling yourself, guys. It's, yeah, I'm sorry, but you are. Um, it's ridiculous. Um, it drives me as, as much crazy as just people out there in politics and, you know, getting tribal. I mean, just tell me why, um, you want to vote for somebody, you know, give me a good reason.I see just so much out there that people just get caught up in and tribal on krav maga being the best self defense system. No, it's anything, guys, we can borrow from anything. Just a name. Just like the republican party. The Democratic Party. Oh, man, some of them have just become names.And it's driving me crazy because I think, uh, there's a lot of people going down the wrong road. You know, big corporations are beating us all up. No matter what party you are, you know, we've got to just look out for the common good. But, man, that stuff drives me crazy.Um, probably more crazy than, you know, people defending themselves and getting tribal about their martial art. It's got to be well rounded, guys. And that's what drew me into Krav Maga, and that's, you know, our brand of Krav maga. You know, some, some schools get too caught up in the workout of it, and, you know, that's great.I love to be in good shape because I got to tell you, it has saved me more times insparring and going to instructor training is just being in good shape is going to get you a, uh, out of a lot of trouble because you're conditioned, you're stronger or strong as you could be.So, you know, focus on that stuff. What else were we talking about? Oh, yeah, our move. So a lot of people, um, let them, uh, you know, their minds wander. We have decided at RMSDF, my wife Jenny and I, to sell our building and go to a smaller location.Like I said in my first announcement, I've been wanting to get back to my roots on Nantucket island where I started teaching. And in a small place, you don't need a big thing. You know, a lot of martial arts, uh, school owners can, you know, get caught up in bigger is better and, you know, look at 24 hours fitness.They're giant and they're crowded. And how much attention do you get in there? Well, you're really not paying for any. You're just paying to come in and use the equipment. We are really trying to get back to where we were or where I started from, and it's small, no nonsense.We've decided to, um, sell the building and invest that in a 1031, um, exchange and do an investment property. We are not buying the building that we're moving to on Malibu. That's what a lot of people have thought. We're not buying that building where, um, you know, you might say, defer diversifying.Um, we're just doing something different, um, and know, working on not killing yourself. You know, the bigger your gym, the more members you have, the more, the more, the more. And it's not, ah, necessarily profitable and it's not necessarily the best experience for your members. You know, big gyms are hard to handle.You need a lot of, you know, you need staff, you need square footage and that square footage in Castle Rock is expensive. So, you know, some gymshe, uh, you know, I get into, you know, are they doing it full time? You know, if they're not great, you know, you got another side of income.So, hey, your gyms just kind of fun, a little bit of side income, you know, that's great. But people doing it full time, you know, it's super competitive. I think a lot of gyms out there, um, despite in Castle Rock and across the country, get caught up and man, they all beat each other up over price.I got to tell you, our prices are on our website. You know, you can check them out right there. Other gyms, you guys go ahead and check it out. Um, stop competing, um, price, they just lowball, low ball because and just, it degrades the whole thing. Um, we uh, don't have to do that anymore.That's, you know, part of our move that we don't have to be this uh, ultra competitive because we need so many members in a larger gym. That's just the way it is. Know, uh, either that you get a big ginormous space in Castle Rock and all your members are paying five or $600 a month.Um, that's how that math would work. Otherwise your gym, you know, if there, it's a $100 that's, you know, way below average. You know, you're looking at more like, you know, the 150 to the 180s is kind of the national average of what I see in research and data that comes in from uh, our gym software and other gym software's of what people are charging uh, from their databases.So that I guess hopefully answers a lot of questions. We are going to be, it's uh, I put on the website, I think it's 282 Malibu street, uh, unit a four. We are going to be moving to the back building because our building and the build out of their second floor offices, not my office, as you can see, a little bit different setup behind me.I've moved into our loft which uh, hasn't been used in a long time. So just utilizing that space and giving my wife, uh, when she is working from home, our home office, so we're not kind of conflicting and uh, I can hang out, listen to Joe Rogan and uh, not bother her or whatever else I'm doing, uh, when we are working at home.So I've moved up into the loft and you know, that was a thing with that other building. We had a lot, we had a giant kind of private training room that we used once in a while. Square ah, footage is expensive in Castle Rock. So, you know, we decided that it was time, uh, to sell that and simplify, simplify.That is the reason, um, and try not to work so much when you need so many members. You need to put in a lot of effort into that gym. Not that we're going to be taking away, um, effort. And what we're offering all of you, we really want to keep honing in and just specializing with.I'd rather teach a small group of people and really get to know them. That's the type of gym I started at. And you know, RMSDF, uh, has been pretty big over the years and even me not knowing people in different classes. So that is what we're looking for. I guess so.Um, I think it's time to wrap this sucker up. If you'd like to be a guest on the show, if you're one of our members, you're out there, let, um, me know. Always looking for that type of stuff. One of the hardest things of this podcast.All right, and as always, you guys can support this podcast by shopping at the RMSDF store. Shop dot r m s d f for all the rocky mountain gear. If you're looking for the clear sky training, check out shop. Clear goodness. Uh, I can't talk today. Shop clearsky training.You can also train online. I highly encourage all you members to get on there. We're putting lots of videos and you can train at home and just review. And again, the bandwidth. How much bandwidth do you want to put in it? You can put in more and just watch that video or watch the videos.I can't talk today, guys. I got to wrap it up. Clear sky dot training. And if you guys need supplements, really help me out here. We have suck less co everything from bcaas to protein. It will help, you know, supplement what you do. So a lot of good stuff there that'll really help support the podcast.We have, you know, gotten rid of the partnerships and done it ourselves. And, uh, no longer doing, uh, well, you can still get any of the other stuff, prestige labs, really good stuff. But we've decided, you know, to kind of cut out the middleman, so to speak, and do our own supplements.So check it out, guys. We got some good incentives if you guys are a member and want to start a subscription. So check it out. Suckless co. All right, guys, train more, suck less. Get out there and do something.

“Train like a fighter, think like a soldier, fight like a warrior. I believe confidence has to be done with inoculation. In martial arts we have stress and aggression drills that inoculate us to pain, it's like they give us a little bit of poison, and the next night a little more poison, then a year and a half later, when we are in the arena with real fighting, we can perform. In sparring you have to give students inoculations, it's got to be done in a logical progression, because if you don't do it in a logical progression, those students will break. So first they need to learn defensive maneuvers, then they got to learn how to block and get hit, it's got to be done in a systematic progression with sparring drills that lead the way. This is how you build confidence.”—Mike Lee KanarekMy guest this episode is Mike Lee Kanarek, who is a multi discipline martial arts master. He is the founder of Haganah, a 6'th degree Black Belt in Joe Lewis Fighting Systems, a 4th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, a 1'st Degree black belt in Krav Maga, a Brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Former Special Forces. He was inducted into the Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame and was Instructor of the year in 2007. He is a teacher of teachers and has instructed Special Units in every branch of the US Military.This episode is all about progressively developing the warrior spirit and trusting yourself in combat. My key takeaway is that constant growth and evolution is essential to building trust and performing under pressure. In life and death situations, those who have prepared themselves by testing themselves under pressure, will have the confidence to execute in chaos. A principles based modular approach that addresses the physical, mental, tactical, and spiritual aspects of an individual is essential for growth and development in combat and in life. We discuss the importance of integrating fighting training from sports combat with self-defense training to develop a complete martial artist. Mr. Kanarek is truly a Machine, he has a unique sense of his purpose, and is driven to make the world a safer place by creating warriors on and off the battlefield. Join me for an amazing episode with a one of a kind martial arts personality.
