10 PRINCIPLES OF AMI NIV
The main principles of Ami, in developing Aiki Krav Maga (hand to hand combat)
“During the nineties, after seeing many ways in the martial art world, and in light of the luck
of inner peace of Israelis as a result of increasing violence, I started to develop the “Aiki Krav
Maga” method. A method that‘s trying to fix the violence situation in the community, and
bring to more peaceful life
“Attack and in the same time try to avoid other’s attacks. “
“Try not to be drown to physical violence when you attacked verbally, and when
you are physically attacked, do your best not to get hurt, and not hurt people around
you.”
“A student that stand in these criteria, and is consistent in his training will become
at a certain point, a ‘self defense weapon’ in the first place, and an attacking weapon,
but will not use the way he learned for bad intentions, only for good ones.”
“My students will see the martial art as a way of life, and a spiritual way to achieve
peace inner peace, and as the ability to cope with the raising violence in our society.”
“the way of the student, during his training will start in learning good manners, and
education to respect the other, so he can understand the meaning of ‘love your friend
as yourself’”
“When an Aiki Krav Maga student stands in all my criteria, and reach a high
level, he acquires knowledge in varied martial arts, that lead him to a deeper
understanding of the art in fighting, and going in a fighter way – BUDO”
“One of the topics I teach my advanced students, are fighting terror skills, including
dealing with situation of weapon threatens (like: pistol, rifle, grenade, gaining control
over hostage kidnappers or dealing with few attackers with cold weapon)”
“In order to illustrate the physical and mental stress, caused by a violent attack in
the street, the exercises will be preformed in different simulations that cause stress,
in order to reach to instinctive response, and not thought process. “
“The right sequence to perform a perfect exercise is not only to do attack and
defense, but to get to a point where your enemy is neutralized on the ground and has
no other choice.”
"My ambition is that every exercise will be easy and simple to do, so the motorial
sequence will be similar to the natural movements of the body.”
