This Friday, 3.3.2017, 08:00 sharp, at honbu dojo we will practice Long or short stick techniques.
During the week we will deepen our focus on last week’s techniques.

In real life, it is the hare who wins. Every time. Look around you. And in any case it is my contention that Aesop was writing for the tortoise market. Hares have no time to read. They are too busy winning the game.

For some of AKBAN instructors, and me included, the last weeks have been extremely busy and interesting. After the visit of our colleague from Japan and a Detant workshop for rescue team leaders we concluded one of our best symposiums at which AKBAN instructors from Israel and abroad participated.

Last Friday we delivered another Detant workshop in which we ushered, for the first time, the next phase (Detant phase 2) of Detant’s extensive syllabus. I think it was a good example of the depth of our program.

I want to thank all the participants for the in-depth debriefing and attendance. We invest time and effort to adapt the Detant syllabus for different sectors and your input was invaluable.

This week, in AKBAN dojo, we will continue learning the other side of the emotional regulation spectrum.

The truth is the best lie

This Friday, 17.2.2017, 08:30 sharp, we will do a Detant seminar (phase 2). All tickets for this seminar were snatched in minutes. If you couldn’t register for this seminar, we will have another one (phase 2) in few weeks.

During the week we will work on techniques from the excellent International Akban symposium that concluded last week.

If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a nonworking cat.

The international AKBAN symposium will take place in Friday, 10.2.2017, 08:00 in Honbu dojo (“אקבן תל אביב” in WAZE).

Instructors from all over the world will present their research and results from years of training and fighting. The symposium will conclude at 12:30.

This is a wonderful opportunity to witness the perspectives and skills of AKBAN groups from all over the world.

He who fights with monsters should take care that he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
