Irvine, CA – On June 2^nd, Krav Maga Orange County will host Jon Pascal as he instructs our students in personal protection and defense against car jacking from 2p to 5p.

KMOC and Pascal’s seminar will focus on defense against attackers intent on harming drivers whose vehicles have stopped, providing students with practical and effective defensive tactics. Emphasis will be on what to do increase situational awareness to avoid becoming a victim, but when an attack becomes unavoidably, it will prepare students for defending themselves and their family once a carjacker has initiated an assault.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, “Most local and state criminal codes don't define ‘carjacking.’ It's reported as either auto theft or armed robbery. This means that no solid statistics exist on time, place, and victims.” The LAPD also states carjackings are crimes of opportunity occurring regardless of who the driver is, they occur typically at night, and most often involve a gun or other weapon. Carjackings are crimes of opportunity and occur where the opportunity is right, at stop lights, stop signs, or in parking garages. When the opportunity is not right, carjackers also may employ a “bump and rob,” capitalizing on a conscientious drivers inclination to stop after an accident. The seminar will focus on avoiding becoming a victim through prevention and self protection.

KMOC and Darren Levine recently held another successful seminar on defense against home invaders, providing students with practical and effective defensive tactics. Emphasis was on what to do once a home invasion has occurred and will prepare students for defending themselves and their family once intruders are in the home. The seminar also included Levine’s special insights on home invasions as the former District Attorney for the County of Los Angeles starting in 1990.

Trabuco Canyon, CA – Every year, Portola Hills Elementary School holds it’s Olympic Day, a major fundraiser supporting the school’s Visual and Performing Arts program. The competitions include tug of war, sack race, obstacle course, running relays and basketball tosses. This year, as part of its community outreach, Krav Maga Orange County sponsored the event.

Sponsorship coordinator Sandy Schreiber said, “Our Olympic Day was a huge success, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors.  We had great weather for the day, so many parents turned out to watch their kids & the kids had so much fun!”

Krav Maga Orange County is continuing its commitment to the community it has been a part of for 20 years. It has also donated proceeds from its Home Invasion Self Defense Seminar to the Stop Cancer Foundation, donated proceeds from Youth Synagogue events to the Make a Wish Foundation, proceeds from FAST seminars to the Japan Tsunami Relief Fund, and offered free classes to female students of Fullerton College and the women of Orange County in response to two sexual assaults on campus.

Irvine, CA – In a special session, Krav Maga Orange County (KMOC) provided self-defense training for the senior community, ages 65 and above, in Orange County members. What was unique about this course was its specific target of customizing self-defense for seniors and for disable persons. The class was a tremendous success amongst the participants. The group’s organizers, Bubbles and Hal, who arranged the class time with KMOC, said, “The session was informative and instructive, we are still yelling STOP and EYES, EYES, EYES, what a group. We saw the six others who were unable to attend and they were so sorry they had missed it!”

Since special physical needs were present, Yuri Boiarsky of Krav Maga Orange County had to customize the training. The challenge was to incorporate elements of the Fear Adrenaline Stress Training to a more specific level of physical ability. KMOC met the challenge and tailored self-defense techniques to the very active participants as well as those with limitations and possibly little or no use of one or more limbs. KMOC successfully taught the participants to recognize the warning signs of an attack, avoid threatening situations before they become dangerous, avoid physical confrontation by not looking like a victim, use verbal skills to diffuse situations before they become violent, and how to use simple techniques to protect themselves if conflict becomes unavoidable. Most unique and exciting was those techniques were designed to be successful whether the defender was standing or in a wheel chair.

Irvine, CA – Continuing its commitment to serving the community, Krav Maga of Orange County (KMOC) trained the youth group at Shir Ha-Ma’alot in Level 1 self-defense and an introduction to Fear Adrenaline Stress Training, or F.A.S.T.  Approximately 30 9^th-12^th grade students participated and said that it was the best introduction to self-defense they’ve had.

As part of their every other week Saturday night event, the Youth program invited KMOC to give an introductory course to the students at Shir Ha-Ma’alot Temple in Irvine. The Jewish temple was founded in 1968 and met in homes of members and shared facilities until moving to their current facility, a renovated athletic club, in 1994. The congregation adopted its name in memory of the massacre of teenagers in Ma’alot, Israel.

Continuing the tradition of dedication to Shir Ha-Ma’alot’s teens, the temple called upon KMOC staff to teach an introduction to Krav Maga. The class was a surprise for students who said the class was, “really, really fun” and that instructor Yuri Boiarsky “seemed really experienced, he was fun and really knew what he was doing.”

Student’s learned basic fight stance and simple punches, kicks, and other strikes. Also, KMOC incorporated elements of the F.A.S.T.  which  teaches students to recognize the warning signs of an attack, avoid threatening situations before they become dangerous, avoid physical confrontation by not looking like a victim, use verbal skills to diffuse situations before they become violent, and it trains individuals to protect themselves in hours, not years, if conflict becomes unavoidable. KMOC instructors took the same principals of the FAST program and tailored them to the needs of teenagers and emphasized how they should recognize and respond when unknown adults are acting in an unsafe or threatening manner.
