Israel is one of the safest countries in the world! Our local crime rates are among the world’s lowest, and the prevalence of terror attacks on Israeli soil are near negligible. Eilat, the southern tourist city our camp is run out of is extremely safe – and disconnected from any potentially conflict-ridden zone.
Absolutely! The camp focuses on fighting and self-defense – in all its forms. People who practice other martial arts can attend the camp and learn a ton; our camp is the ideal enrichment program for anyone who dabbles in the martial arts.
No. We start off as a team and complete the program as a team.
Camp participants receive a certificate stating that they have “Completed an XFighting camp” at the end of the program, provided that they have met XFighting’s standards and criteri physical, behavioral and moral, which all members of our community are required to uphold.

We will do everything in our power to keep you from quitting – by leveraging the power of our community. We start as a group and end as a group. That being said, we will never force anyone to remain in the program.
Certainly! Eilat is the ultimate vacation city. We will be staying at a central hotel within walking distance of the sea, shopping centers and attractions. The hotel has its own, pampering pool, a variety of water sport options and plenty of kid-friendly attractions.

Take into account that your guests (non-participants) cannot visit the training centers.

Yes, the training camp is an accelerated program that enables us to acquire techniques and additional capabilities in order to feel safer and better defend ourselves. That being said, the training process beings with the trainee taking full responsibility for their learning – progress is achieved on an individual basis, depending on the trainee’s investment in the program.

We believe that Krav Maga is a way of life that focuses on our sense of safety, confidence and capability in all aspects of personal and social life. As such, despite there being a great emphasis on training in physical techniques, the camp also contains several mental and experiential training sessions that enable you to acquire other tools needed to overcome life challenges.
