SUMMIT self-defenseŽ Israeli Combat Shooting Instruction

Our San Francisco / Bay Area, California School offers all of our physical self defense programs for men and women, concealed handgun licensing and deployment training, fitness programs, Law Enforcement and Military specific training as well as access to our advanced tactical training and special weapons training programs.

Self-defense for Men -Summit self-defense teaches the Israeli Self Defense system to individuals. Israeli Self Defense is the evolution of all Israeli martial arts and combines elements of Brazilian JuJitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, kickboxing and combat wrestling. It is designed for all people and is taught in Israel to male and female members of the IDF. The techniques incorporated into the system have been proven in violent hand-to-hand combat situations in Israel and have been carefully adapted to street oriented self-defense.

Fitness - Just about anyone can do it, regardless of strength, size, or physical fitness. You'll get in great shape, have an absolute blast and get the same kind of confidence that the professional operators who train in FIGHT. Confidence that comes from knowing you can handle whatever situation you might encounter. It's confidence that comes out not only in physically threatening situations (which will hopefully never occur) but also in your daily life. Visit us for a free week of classes and experience true confidence and security.

Self-defense for Women - Women are confronted with many possibilities of violence in today's society. Haganah gives women the solutions for acts of violence, attacks, intimidation, stalking, harassment domestic abuse and sexual assault. Many of our classes and seminars are primarily attended by women and focused on their unique threats. >>> more

Nationally Certified Taser Training Instructors
Law Enforcement and Military - Summit started training law enforcement in 2003 after one of its officers, Johnnie Poncho Jr., was killed in the line of duty in Albuquerque. Robb Hamic became frustrated at the lack of availability for training for professional officers of the security industry and sought out all training opportunities available. He brought the training back to his officers and those making a difference in the private and government security industries.
