The Development of Israeli KAPAP/CQB Unfortunately, Israel is the most experienced nation in the world when it comes to terrorism and that is why it has developed one of the most valued CQB training systems in the world – the Israeli martial art of KAPAP/CQB, whos history has been written in special ink, our blood.
The knowledge gained in developing the martial art of KAPAP/CQB came from not only the experience of successful operations against terrorist attacks, but many times it came by making tragic mistakes.
A few hundred years ago the bow and arrow was a combat tool, while today we have guns – the bow and arrow of modern times and of modern martial arts.
We see guns and firearms as martial arts! Israeli CQB training, as well as KAPAP, owes its development to many different individuals.
Though most of their names are missing from any list you will find, they have all contributed to the art and that is why no one individual can claim sole ownership of having developed it.
As with any martial art, it is important to understand the origin of Israeli martial arts and to recognize the culture from which it began.
Israeli KAPAP and Traditional Martial Arts KAPAP was the first CQB training introduced in Israel and was based on stick fighting, knives, guns, and hand-to-hand and even stone throwing in the old days.
Today, CQB is a modern martial art while traditional martial arts are considered older styles.
In essence, modern martial arts can’t live without the traditional martial arts nor can the traditional martial arts live without the modern martial arts.
The question is – do you have the tools to know what to do and how to do it? The Israeli martial art of KAPAP is the self-defence system that can provide you with these tools when your life, not your ego, is on the line.
