What Is Kalah System

The KALAH COMBAT SYSTEM is a self defence and combat system develop by Idan Abolnik, a former IDF combative soldier in one of the most highly-trained units known as the GOLANI WARRIORS.

 The system focuses on real  world self-defence and combative scenarios. KALAH emphasizes mental and physical preparedness as well as the ability to respond to threats quickly and effectively. It is a challenging and demanding system but it can provide you with the skills and confidence you need to protect yourself and your loved ones in a dangerous situation.

Kalah System believes that if you have to face the stress of a real world violent attack, your first experience with reality should not be on the streets. Kalah System strives to bring the reality of a violent attack to our training methods. Attacks consist of physical, emotional, and psychological abuse in order to overcome the victim. It is our goal to prepare you to deal with all of these elements.
