IDF Combat Training in NY Summer Camp

[muman613]

I just heard about this Jewish/Israeli combat camp being held in NY this summer....

Maybe this would be of interest to some of the JTF members in the NY area... I heard from Shifra Hoffman on Tamar Yonahs latest show on Israel National News that there will be Krav Maga training.

KKNY is a grass-roots organization promoting the need and providing the skills for each individual to be responsible and prepared for disasters personally, to ones family and in ones community.

• We provide information on where to find training locally.
• We are available for speaking engagements to reinforce each communities needs to be prepared.
• We provide legally armed volunteers to secure and patrol Jewish communities that are under threat of terror or antisemitic attack.
• We promote the concept that every person should be certified or at least well trained in the following:

1. First Aid to the level of EMT or at a minimum First Resonder
2. Self Defense to a lever of comfort in ones abilities. Krav Maga as a quick learn of practical skills is our recommendation.
3. Apply and obtain a concealed handgun carry permit in areas where this is necessary and to carry openly in areas where that is allowed. The goal is not just to own but to train in basic firearms safety as well as real practice via scenario based drill training.
4. CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) promoted by FEMA which gives each person a deeper understanding of your cities Infrastructure, emergency capabilities and proper civilian repsonses. Most importantly, to understand how the National Incident Management System works.
5. Community Activism in any capacity which helps getting to know and understand your communities better.

In a way, we represent that each person become an army of one with most of the kills of a National Guardsman. They secure areas that need securing. They rescue the trapped and fill sandbags. They hand out water and move equipment.

In todays society, the Police, Fire and other authorities are reactionary agencies now and require 4 - 10 minutes to respond.
Medical injuries are best resolved when intervention is immediate. Rescues are easier and with a higher success rate when immediate.

Long gone are the days of the "Beat Cop". "We the people" have become complacent with the reaction responses of the Government we pay for.
It is simply time for us to take some of that responsibility to ourselves, family and neighborhood back on ourselves and to acquire the knowledge and skills to do as much as possible both in Prevention and Reaction if necessary.

Katrina showed us how unprepared the Federal, State and Local Governments were. In the end, some of the responsibility needs to be put back on the citizens for not being prepared.

The choice is yours. To stand there and wait or prepare to be part of the solution.

The history of recent events should give you the added push. Jewish Federation in Seattle WA, JCC in Los Angeles, Mumbai, Times Square Bomb.Not forgetting 9/11 or even the 1993 WTC bombing.

Shifra Hoffman talks about the next Flotilla headed towards Gaza and the fact that Israel accepts Gazans in Israeli hospitals, yet the Hamas won't even let the Red Cross visit Gilad Shalit. Also, did you ever wanted to be trained by an IDF soldier? Now's your chance. An IDF type training camp in Upstate NY will train men and women on firearm use, terror alert & defense, krav maga and even combat medicine. This camp is religious, kosher, and shomer Shabbat. An adventure packed two weeks for those who want to be able to protect their families and communities in a legal yet effective way, says Jonathan Stern.
