Thank you so much for sharing this information. I am a Krav Maga Instructor and have seen a lot of Kalah techniques that I also thought were really effective. Initially, I wanted to try and bring Kalah into my classes, but upon watching this video, I cannot, in good conscience align myself with this person. It's really too bad because he has some great stuff to teach, but the abuse toward students and poor business practices is just foolish.
That is absolutely the most negligent, stupid, unsafe thing I have ever seen anyone do intentionally with a firearm. It is incredibly frightening that someone is that stupid and has any remaining credibility with any students anywhere.
I have personally trained with Idan, I can confirm most of what is said here. His grasp of technique is limited and mostly wrong. When I challenged a technique and said it did not work in principle he proceeded to bite me deep, almost to the point of breaking skin on my shoulder and said that the bite should be on the face and then you can get away. He cared more about framing people and getting them to be aggresive for the videos he was constantly taking with his phone than actually correcting people. Most of the people there did not have enough experience to understand that the techniques taught were flawed. He is extremely aggressive and defensive of his system. He is a very big person and projects this size into his training techniques, gives a huge sense of false hope for tiny people or women. The ground techniques he taught we're absolutely horrible, no understanding of ground work whatsoever.
This guy is a dangerous grifter. When it comes to weapons disarms, NOBODY TRAINS LIKE THIS!!! Are you kidding me? Live ammo, condition 1 weapon, finger on the trigger? Hel No!!! You are right on the money. This guy is a criminal who is going to hurt people. I'd stay far away from this kind of crazy. Thank you.
You are so right. I used to train KM and Defendo. When we learned gun disarms we were taught that a shot would most likely go off. But that it was harmless to hold a gun being fired. To reiterate this we went to the gun range and got to try having a hand on an automatic pistol when it was fired. You get a little powder residue on your hand and if you're unlucky a tiny pinch in your palm. BUT YOU DO THIS ON A GUN RANGE. WITH ALL THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIOMS. Normal gun range practice i.e. This guy is just a dangerous narcissist. 🤬🤬🤬
There is something fundamentally wrong with this guy. You are absolutely correct when you say his behavior is negligent. He's exhibite behavior that is wholey unacceptable and it's good that these videos are available in the hopes that people will avoid this guy in the future.
He’s beyond negligent. He’s exhibiting very strange behavior, concerning speaking like “it’s all good, I’ll hear you out,” to them, then erasing all of the posts and acts very differently with his students. The students he’s already conditioned will never be helped now, so I don’t think he’s worth the trouble. He could just start shooting people if he loses. Frankly, he might start shooting people if he wins.
Even high level military units dont train with live guns to their faces. Hell, do airsoft guns, it will hurt to be hit that close so wanting to avoid the hit is still there, but you dont loose your life.
Also i noticed that his training has 2 sides that don't match like the example of the girl that got slapped but he dude didnt resist her attack. He has done the same with knife defense. He demonstrated to his stundent that generic knife disarm dont work by stabbing him with a plastic knife.... after that he shows a generic knife disarm
@@dayman161172 And what is your point? Practicing knife defence by getting as close as possible to a real knife attack will give you better chances of surviving the attack.
When I teach self defense to women, there is resistance, we do shout and we do strive to create a sense of realism... however, at no point in time, do we ever physically harm anyone. We wear full body protection so they can strike the attacker with reasonable force without them getting seriously injured, but we never hit with force. The shouting and demeaning is to get them to be able to react during the adrenaline dump. But I would never in a million years, slap a woman in the head repeatedly like that. You can add layers of realism while still being safe. A guy that size could cause her whiplash, a broken nose or teeth and so on. It's well intentioned, I'm sure. But that's just bad training.
Watch his followers fill the chat. (Now he himself is on the chat and his argument is that i deleted comments. 100% lie. I have not deleted anything he or his followers have had to say. They will all stay up and have stayed up because it proves my point 😂) Appreciate your continued support of the page. one day closer to 100k followers :) Join this channel to get access to perks: ruclips.net/channel/UCj0hSixOVSV4HvmbAQjk0WAjoin
This was a really interesting video. I liked the interaction/story but sad to see how it turned out. I tried to train in a Krav system that used a lot of his style and now im glad I left that school.
Hard training needs to be done understrict rules and supervision. Most military and civilian forces have strict rules that must be followed to the letter.If he does it privately than he has to bear full responsibility for any injuries on his watch.
@@McDojoLife if Facebook didn't take gunsite sa down for some stupid reason you would've found alot. Paratus on Facebook also did a bit of condemning of his training style over the years.
Paulo Rubio and I recently had a conversation about this group on my Podcast. "2 FMA-Nerds Talking About Stuff" podcast. Our conversation centered around the logical and ethical presentation of information online.
What gets me is when you asked him why the male aggressor offers zero resistance & falls over he got mad & said she is not at the level where they training against resistance yet, he has repeatedly said that she has had training for many years & is a warrior/survivor. How can it be realistic if they do not train against any live resistance. Even white belts train against resistance. He states on his website that kalah is far superior to all to Krav Maga yet they don’t train any resistance 🤷♂️ His own words on you live chat: “She is not at the level where they use resistance, that’s higher up levels.” His comments: “She has trained for many years & is a warrior”
I’m no martial arts guy, but i do love guns, and i would never get so close to someone with my firearm that I’m pressing it against them, begging for a disarm. Distance is important, that’s why when we go to the gun range, we shoot at a distance, we don’t press the gun against the target. I’m not saying it’s impossible, especially with an untrained thug, but to me these gun disarms are a bit in the realm of fantasy and mostly for show to attract paying students.
Gun-fu and pewpew-jutsu are recognized as bona-fide real martial arts. Jokingly aside, the practice of firearms is a real martial art in japan called Hōjutsu. So what's your black belt degree and is it NRA certified?
I don't think the Dillman rating applies here, this guy is on the same level as Holmgang Hamburg (who swing sharp swords at each other) and the crazy Russian guy who chopped into his student's arm with an axe. The Dillman rating is good for the Wide World of Woo, but this kind of training is Darwin award stupid. There is a distinct line between simulation and reality, and live ammunition crosses that line. If he wants to incorporate firearms discharging in the middle of a technique, he should use low-velocity airsoft guns and safety gear like everyone else. This guy needs to be stopped
@@pavolverescak1712 Sometimes, yeah. Definitely a fan of Scholagladiatoria and Tod's Workshop. I'm just a HEMA guy who likes to fight with swords and stuff lol
With regards to the medical bills, although I'm unaware of the situation in his specific location, it is worth remembering that a lot of countries outside of the US have socialised healthcare, there might not have been any bills to pay.
Training with live ammo does not make you better, it just makes you dumber, or you'll get yourself or someone else seriously hurt, or you'll kill someone or you'll kill yourself. When it comes to aggressive empty handed combat training, I don't think it's all that bad. A little slap here and there won't really hurt you but it will help you get into the sort of mentality you need for that kind of situations. But, like you said, that doens't really matter here, that guy is all kinds of wrong in all these other stuff he is just too irresponsible to have students.
Hey Rob, I have a question (but no Instagram, so sliding into DMs there isn't an option for me). When you were having your discussion with Idan, did he talk about (or even just offhandedly mention) deescalation or proportional use of force at all? Because every video I've seen him put out seems to just revolve around the "Rip-and-tear" end of the spectrum, but I've never seen anything where he talks about softer or even non-physical solutions to less than life-threatening situations. Anyone who goes on about "Ultra realistic" Self Defense but doesn't even pay lip-service to the fact that there ARE situations where stomping someones nuts into a fine paste is flat out not an appropriate response is a pretty significant red flag in my book.
I took two seminars with him and practiced Kalah for 4 years with certified trainers. Yes, there is a lot of training about de-escalation. The first thing they teach you is to protect your face and neck as best as possible while saying: "Please I don't want any trouble, what do you want?" and if the response of the aggressor is money or whatever other material thing they train you to give that without hesitation because no matter how well trained you are, the person that holds the weapon has 99% of the odds are always in their favor.
Hey rob! Always been a big fan of your videos, thanks for keeping it legit man. 1 thing I noticed not a huge major point but Kalah in Hebrew is a term used in the Old Testament of the Bible which means to “complete” or “bring to an end” which fits almost as well as “lost” because this school should be brought to an end 😂
I believe it would be illegal in the US to use live rounds in a training class. If this isn’t something he’d change to meet the situation, that’s likely why he bailed on showing up. But this is something he would have known beforehand, which is then definitely fraudulent. As for the slapping shit. I do believe it’s to every student’s benefit to know what contact feels like so they know they can take the pain and fuel it back into their fighting. We’ve all seen paper black belts who cave once they take a poke to the nose or a kick to the giblets (thanks Gene L)
Does disarms with live rounds, simulates hitting the person in the face with the gun🤦🏿♂️. So then what's the point of using live rounds if you're going for reality?
Seems like bullshit disarms anyway. I was taught that you want to keep a couple meters between you and anything you're intending to point a gun at for the reason of not letting anyone touch the gun. Any martial arts or whatever should be used to get the gun between you and the target, and to get the muzzle oriented towards the target. Gun fighting ain't no joke, a child with a squirrel rifle could kill Andre the Giant from the other side of a football field. Gun training matters and it ain't this gun-kata woo-woo bullshit
@@kimkillillasfuq8212 the only reason I could think that you would allow someone to get that close to you with a gun to your head is if your back is up against something. Otherwise you should be running away. But yes there's no reason for this to be a thing. It only takes one mistake and you're dead. All for a training drill. Not worth it.
@@IsaiahSh I don't necessarily advocate running from everything the way some people do. I was taught that turning your back to a threat is like signing your own obituary, still, the only time anybody ever pulled a gun on me, I hightailed it outta there like Usain Bolt. Somebody opens up on you and you ain't got no cover or firepower, then you're kinda doomed. Regardless, if you can return fire and pressure the attacker back, you have a substantially lower chance of getting shot in the back.
@@IsaiahSh to get to my point though, gunfights are won or lost, 90% of the time, before the first shot is fired. Who you rolled up with, what kinda piece you brought, how many range hours you clocked, how many magazines you got, what kinda cover you got, shit like that
@@kimkillillasfuq8212 yea there are always scenarios where you can't run and have to fight. I was more talking about being aware of your surroundings before the person pulls a gun on you. But bottom line there's no reason to take these kind of risk for a training drill.
Pretty much if you want to start martial arts that's actually going to work wrestling Brazilian Jiu Jitsu boxing and Muay Thai pretty much most effective martial arts that actually work
The rumours have been going for a long time as to how many students have been shot. And how many students have shot each other while under his instruction. But its confirmed that the number, in both cases, is non-zero. Idan is a violent, aggressive, narcissist. Challenging him usually starts with a challenging to go fight him, but on his terms, followed by various tirades. If you find yourself on the same continent as him, watch your back after this video. He plays on the Israel angle a lot but he lives in South Africa.
There is no limit to extremes. There is a limit to professionalism. Thank you so much for the video and the bars are so true. By the way, it's not right to endure the beatings in training and in a level situation before you act.
The fact is if he has any integrity then he should have done the seminar. This is legally/morally the right way to go. The moment he was deported he had a moral obligation to refund the money. (I am less then believing about the being deported but … ) And you shot your student. You did not even try use ‘blanks’. (Those can still hurt you mind you but the odds are much lower) so because of reckless training procedures you get two out of 5 Seagals. Dang it you shot your student!
Blanks can easily kill you. Ask Bruce Lee's son. You cant, because a blank on a movie set killed him. You dont train with either of those forms of ammunition unless you want to die
set this video up clean af I enjoyed every bit of it. even though the instructor by itself that this video revolves around is disheartening and sad. The BJJ guy is stupidly brave to agree to fight this dude training with live ammo in a gun held against his chest/head. I wouldn't go anywhere near him. hell I would not even feel comfortable staying in the same room as him!
I agree. It’s not worth messing with a psychopath, who has clearly shown no remorse for shooting a stranger. He’s also exhibiting very erratic behavior by talking with them, then acting as if it didn’t happen, and letting his students believe who knows what. This type of guy will have his students end up being shot over an iPhone and a purse.
As someone who is roughly the size/weight of the woman in the first video, I can entirely emphasise with asking a trainer/training partner to use full force to test a technique, once you‘ve gotten decent at the technique and wanting to know how you‘d fare under pressure conditions. It still didn‘t look as batshit crazy as this. BUT where the video starts to confuse me is, why let the other person just punch you, which you wouldn‘t do in a real situation, and then the other person isn‘t really fighting back, which makes no sense for a „real“ situation either. And also, not trying to be an arse here, but she doesn’t seem super comfortable with her techniques, so maybe she‘s a newer student? That sort of pressure testing only makes sense to me, once you have a good foundation of a technique down, because otherwise what are you testing? Being yelled at? Cool. With what I‘ve seen I definitely land on the side of abuse. 🤷♀️
@@McDojoLife I mean those are so clearly out of line and completely idiotic, I didn’t see the need to really comment on them, rather tackling the clip that had people more divided on Instagram tbh. What also still confuses me is, that he says there were no loaded guns during training, but then he shot the student, which indicates life rounds obv? Did he have both loaded and unloaded guns there? Was the loaded gun from the student? Don‘t get me wrong, in any case completely negligent and unnecessary in general. I was just genuinely curious, since I couldn’t quite make it out from his explanation . 🤔
@@athousandlives7231 if the loaded gun was from the student he could have pressed charges but admits it was the student that went to the police not the other way around.
@@McDojoLife Ah, must have been his gun then in any case. Meaning he somehow left it in close enough proximity to the training weapons to be mistaken. Absolute insanity! Thanks for the clarification. 👍
So high level SF guys in other countries train like that with live rounds yes but that's after years of firearms training and safety training and it is never allowed in the USA for miltary or special forces training because it's not really worth the risk and can be done with non live ammunition. I dont agree with it it's kinda dumb like russian SF shooting eachother in the body armor for "Confidence Building" just use simmuntion. Guys that have a track record with a negligent discharge almost killing someone should not ever be allowed to teach that kind of shit. And shouldnt be allowed to do firearms training of any kind
To add more to the word 'kalah' in Indonesia, it doesn't mean 'lost' as in you're going somewhere, took a wrong turn and now you're lost; nor does it mean 'lost' as in lost and found. That word literally mean losing a fight or a struggle :D
If someone points a gun to your head, TOUCHING YOUR HEAD, Why would you want to bring it down and across your body?? Why not just pop it up if it’s already so high
I don't see the problem with the methods used in Kalah, the issue is that they seem to not be completely transparent to people who come into their school (not because they are badly intentioned but not transparent by negligence, or like they feel like it is not important to mention they use live rounds for example). It is common to have hard and painful trainings, a good example is people training different styles of Wushu/KungFu and ballerinas that we ask to reach a good side and front splits in a few weeks only. When doing that training the practitioner ALLOWS the instructor to put them in painful situations in order to bring them to a better level of physical capabilities. TL;DR : As long as the methods were CLEARLY explained to the practitioner, there is not reason to call this abuse, as both parties agreed upon the training methods.
I think there is a point to getting some real aggression to help train your emotional response in theses situations, but it should be explained and voluntary .
well yeah but they are training also in the israeli district near to gaza this is not a walk in the park nor your traditional Dojo next door I dont even think it was designed for any of that
i saw some of his videos on facebook and thought he had some decent information, but i definitely didn't research him or know all this (none of what I saw had firearms). guy obviously wants to be an action hero. im sure someday we will see a story about him being shot during a seminar
Wait....he trains with live ammo!? Live friggin' ammo!? Wow. This has got to be the worst to date. I don't think it gets any more insane than that. That's even crazier than the wannabe action movie guys who waved around guns during training exercises and rode around on motorbikes. At least they were only ACCIDENTALLY pointing loaded weapons at people.
Agree with McDojoLife 100% on this dude. Been following this mess from the beginning. My question is where is this all going? I mean, if it sways even a couple of people from getting ripped off or put in danger it's worth it. I just hope there's no hope of "winning" against the cult like followers. Also don't want to see a lifelong crusade against this idiocy, as at the end of the day there's no such thing as bad publicity. But if it's going to generate a lot of conversation and be helpful to McDojoLife on social via engagement/algorithm 🤷♂️ Godspeed.
Gotta hand it to him, Idan knows how to market himself. He made a cool short film showcasing Kalah techniques against a pistol and assault rifle. I pray to God those actors are still alive after shooting. No pun intended for once.
I'm a big fan of you and the Kalah system. I've been following both you and Idan Abolnik on social media for a good while. I even met Idan couple of years ago and it was one of the best seminars in my life. From the self defence perspective only, the best one. And believe me, I learnt from world legends in Taekwon-do and bjj (my 2 passions. I love kicks and chokes) from years now (I started training tkd in 1993 and bjj in 2007). I think you're too harsh for the guy. He's done so much for many people around the globe, especially he deserves much respect for his outstanding work in South Africa. I know how those videos you put in your material look like, but people pay to be trained this way and it works for them very well. Anyway, I wish all the best to both of you and I sincerely hope that you'll find some common ground. 🍻
No, I cant. I was trying to say that Idan is not a mcdojo. He's a real deal. Real warrior. Just my perspective. That's it. As simple as that. And everything else is up to you man.
‘Adding resistance’ bro adding resistance should be the opposite of what he did. The second she does the technique he should apply pressure, not just slapping her around. What’s that teaching her? Thank you so much for exposing this guy
I can see the slaps being acceptable as long as the students understand what they're getting into. The system doesn't seem very effective regardless. That girl had no idea how to even approach a guy that size so there's no reason to go that hard. but then it goes off the deep end with the live ammo. What a maniac.
I want to fight him. It is not what an adult should want, but I do. I don't think I would actually go through with it, unless I was at a training session where he started slapping girls around like that. Then I would.
A big Bully. Bullys always see how far they can push but when someone pushes back they are there in the background trying to make peace, hoping no-one else hears about it.
To start, his training methods are really rough. I've been trying to figure out a good/safe way to train with live pressure for years, and honestly, without doing what he's doing, I don't see a way to do that. Now, why haven't I? Because I'm not about to hit my students and traumatize them. Plan and simple. Also, if you're going to train like this (which I don't agree with), you should keep that pressure through until the end, not let up to allow someone to complete a technique. As for training with live ammo, why? You can get replica airsoft weapons that have the weight of a real firearm and function much the same way. I'd much rather have a little red welt then a gun shot wound. Moving on to him as a person, well he just kind of sucks. I mean you don't collect money for seminars and then not return it when you don't show. You should always keep your word, especially in a small community like the martial arts world (yes, I know the martial arts world seems large, but everyone is interconnected here. There are so few high level instructors vs the number of students, a lot of people have worked with the same lineage over the years). In summation, something is off in this dude's head. If any of his follower feel like calling me out, any time guys. Let's do it.
@@nickelmanful ehh? There sorta is... Domestic abuse has a high likelihood of turning into the first part of the first training video we watched. My problem is this: look at how defensive she is. That's not a fighter, that's a victim. Training that way does not increase confidence. Building up to that does, slowly and over a long stretch of time. Usually in other arts that don't abuse you (at least not in a domestic fashion). And here's the big thing. That should be a once in a blue moon 'compare this to when I started level of "training". If anything, what we saw shouldn't be training, but the test to end all tests if ever trained at all. Imo, light positional sparring does more for practitioner longevity than going all out like this does. So much unnecessary stress and anxiety over what should be a safe learning environment. If you want someone to quit, this is how you do it. You train this way with a person that knows what they're doing and getting into, not someone just getting into learning how to defend themselves.
@@McDojoLife But I did? I just have an opinion that on the overt surface is different than yours. (And actually read my comment here) Some situations *might* turn out like this. However, I find the vast majority of "training" like that completely unnecessary for not only untrained fighters, but trained fighters as well. I think you should re-read my comment and not assume i'm one of his minions. (I get it, you're busy) I also never really agreed with the training, I just pointed out that at the very least "training" like this should be done almost never. But that if you do "train" something completely insane, you should already be a skilled and competent professional, (Bjj black belt, muay Thai fighter, wrestler) not some person looking for a safe place to learn how to defend themselves. Maybe this is the context my comment needs.
When you say "live ammunition", surely that includes blanks? He couldn't have been doing that with real bullets in the pistol, surely? Apologies, I'm from the UK.
@@McDojoLife My God! Surely rule No. 1 of gun safety Day 1, lesson 1 is "Don't ever point a loaded gun at someone (unless you plan to kill them)" Even us limeys know that. There's no 'self defence' training that's worth dying over. That kinda defeats the point.
And here's the thing. Even blanks are dangerous. They tell you never to hold a lit firework in your hands right? You'll blow off your hand from the firework going off alone. Blanks in a firearm or prop gun are no different than a glorified firework going off right next to your head. (Assuming your head is in the unfortunately fortunate position next to the gun and not in front of it.) Regardless, the basic rules of firearm safety details one rule is should stress: "Don't point the gun at anything you don't intend to destroy."
Brother I love your videos. But you've either got to get a rode shotgun mic, lapel mic, or put up some moving blankets behind and around you to noise dampen the echo effect. Keep up the good work brother
This is why I never accept any challenge fights. Best avoid these things. If you want competition enter a legit tournament. As far as a real fight.....stick to avoidance and self defense.
Omg, at first it looked wierd with slaping, but I was like... Ok maybe she agreed some how to that... But training with live ammo... Are they fricking nuts 🤕🤕
So many things, wrong with this situation. 1 you can provide a realistic feeling without making contact, because if you injure your students, and they can't continue to practice, how are you going to continue to stay in business! 2 using live rounds in a training situation has to be the absolute worst idea EVER, you can use blanks or airsoft and get the same results, without the lethality 3 taking peoples money for a service that wasn't provided in the end is wrong If you don't want to refund it then you should reschedule the dates and contact the people who you got the money from WITH THE DATE AND VENUE of a seminar they can attend Or provide them with a voucher for any of your other seminars free of entry charge! Let them decide if they want to go to one of your events. Stuff like this makes me angry, we're martial artists we should be polishing our character, not tarnishing it
I know this was 2 years ago but he mentioned someone called fake black belts on RUclips and I e searched and can’t find anyone with that name or anything even close.
It still blows my mind how many people can’t intuit that getting within arms reach of someone completely defeats the purpose of a ranged weapon and pay money for “disarm training”
Have you considered that many people who use a gun to rob you will be within arm's reach. Especially because the gun is used to intimidate you to do whatever. Also in cases of sexual assaults, kidnapping etc think about it
@@connorvanvuuren6455 No I haven’t. Because I can stand 6 feet away from you and demand that you set your item on the ground and walk away. And if I’m going to sexually assault or kidnap someone who can beat me in a fight I can throw zip ties at them and demand they cuff themselves before closing distance. Movies and real life aren’t the same thing.
@@Rykojames yeah but you did not kidnap anybody nor did you shoot anybody - i can tell by the way you write it all down elaborately It can happen like you say - but than your dead anyway If been assaulted and attacked on a much lower scale of violence but the attackers did some stupid stuff one would never expect or think of reasonable
He’s very dangerous doing a gun disarm with a loaded gun. I have been handling guns since I was 8, with extensive arms training during my 20 + years in the military. Basic safety rules include: you treat every gun as if it were loaded, never point the gun at anyone, keep your finger off of the trigger until your ready to shoot, and always be sure of what’s beyond your target. Personally if I’m being robbed at gun point he can have my wallet and what’s in it which, is usually only a few dollars. I would never risk doing a disarm it’s just not worth it.
Military live-fire exercises are NOTHING like that. Before a training event is run with live rounds, or even simmunitions (read: glorified paintball rounds, which will chamber in a service rifle, but require a special bolt that will not chamber or fire off a live round) there is working up to the main event involved, starting with briefings, to dry runs at various speed levels, and finally the main event. You never stick a live-loaded weapon in someone's face, chest, back, etc, unless the intent is to actually put a hole in them.
Never once did this martial arts instructor speak about teaching firearm safety or the 4 weapons safety rules. He just gives students a live firearm allowing them to resume weapons disarmament training without understanding weapons safety first. Thanks mcdojo for posting this to spread awareness regarding these negligent coaches.
@@McDojoLife Yeah, I did watch the video. The stress they put in the training is there to prepare you for the stress that you'd experience in a real emergency situation, its a necessary part of the program.
You see... doing firearm disarm training isn't bad at all. However, using a live gun isn't the best thing to do. Even with the first video with the woman, maybe lighten up on the slaps.
Idan is the laughing stock of the combatives community in South Africa. Nobody that knows anything takes him seriously. Please dont judge all SA instructors by him. We have some great guys in the industry. Stay Safe from South Africa

But if you get shot and hospitalized/dead in training, nobody will attack you on the street. Very effective system.
YOU WIN THE INTERNETS today :)
Your logic is sound
I love how he is allowed to actually slap the woman in the beginning, but when she gets on top, she has to do fake punches.
Someone needs to give him a taste of his own medicine
I love these deep dive dramas, honestly. I know nothing about martial arts but I watch your videos solely for this kinda crazy stuff. More please.
Minions trained to bring live rounds to discussion forums/friendly matches. Best not interact with them. 6 dilmans surely
I think he should get 6 Dillmans and 4 Count Dantes.

This guy is a dangerous grifter. When it comes to weapons disarms, NOBODY TRAINS LIKE THIS!!! Are you kidding me? Live ammo, condition 1 weapon, finger on the trigger? Hel No!!! You are right on the money. This guy is a criminal who is going to hurt people. I'd stay far away from this kind of crazy. Thank you.
You are so right. I used to train KM and Defendo. When we learned gun disarms we were taught that a shot would most likely go off. But that it was harmless to hold a gun being fired. To reiterate this we went to the gun range and got to try having a hand on an automatic pistol when it was fired. You get a little powder residue on your hand and if you're unlucky a tiny pinch in your palm. BUT YOU DO THIS ON A GUN RANGE. WITH ALL THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIOMS. Normal gun range practice i.e.
This guy is just a dangerous narcissist. 🤬🤬🤬
Why not use a gas airsoft with blowback?
@@jamesc2540 I suppose. But I'm not looking down the barrel of anything live. F**k that.
@@alberth5818 yep. Agreed.
Going to hurt people? He already did my friend
No Dillmans here. He needs his own scale: The Idan which is like 10 Dillmans
This. is. insane. Serious cult leader vibes. 10,000,000 Dillmans needed
Did he basically say "My instincts kicked in and I shot him"?
He saw red bro, couldnt hold his finger back
🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!!!!
@RUclips is highkey garbage Press X to Idan
There is something fundamentally wrong with this guy. You are absolutely correct when you say his behavior is negligent. He's exhibite behavior that is wholey unacceptable and it's good that these videos are available in the hopes that people will avoid this guy in the future.
He’s beyond negligent. He’s exhibiting very strange behavior, concerning speaking like “it’s all good, I’ll hear you out,” to them, then erasing all of the posts and acts very differently with his students.
The students he’s already conditioned will never be helped now, so I don’t think he’s worth the trouble. He could just start shooting people if he loses. Frankly, he might start shooting people if he wins.
Even high level military units dont train with live guns to their faces.
Hell, do airsoft guns, it will hurt to be hit that close so wanting to avoid the hit is still there, but you dont loose your life.
It's like you haven't even SEEN A Christmas Story
The kalashnakov would disagree. This is dumb but it does happen
Dude! Check out confidence firing in the PH. It’s pretty insane.
Also i noticed that his training has 2 sides that don't match like the example of the girl that got slapped but he dude didnt resist her attack.
He has done the same with knife defense. He demonstrated to his stundent that generic knife disarm dont work by stabbing him with a plastic knife.... after that he shows a generic knife disarm
Probably he meant just training with plastic knife. He also brings a real knife to create some level of stress.
@@josefarrington thats it you can't simulate it. I was in situation like that. You dont think rational in that moment
@@dayman161172 And what is your point? Practicing knife defence by getting as close as possible to a real knife attack will give you better chances of surviving the attack.
@@josefarrington this is the problem your chances dont increase with Training because other factors have a bigger decision weight
Gonna put in my adds now “never shot a student.”
When I teach self defense to women, there is resistance, we do shout and we do strive to create a sense of realism... however, at no point in time, do we ever physically harm anyone. We wear full body protection so they can strike the attacker with reasonable force without them getting seriously injured, but we never hit with force. The shouting and demeaning is to get them to be able to react during the adrenaline dump. But I would never in a million years, slap a woman in the head repeatedly like that. You can add layers of realism while still being safe. A guy that size could cause her whiplash, a broken nose or teeth and so on. It's well intentioned, I'm sure. But that's just bad training.
I think that assuming his intention is a big leap. To me he appears to be someone who just likes to abuse people
He’s a fraud. I’m so sick of this guy. I’m glad you caught up with him. I hope his “students” wise up and find a good instructor.

This was a really interesting video. I liked the interaction/story but sad to see how it turned out. I tried to train in a Krav system that used a lot of his style and now im glad I left that school.
Hard training needs to be done understrict rules and supervision. Most military and civilian forces have strict rules that must be followed to the letter.If he does it privately than he has to bear full responsibility for any injuries on his watch.
He challenged a lot off instructors here in South Africa and then never shows up.
Heard that a lot but this is one that I was able to confirm
@@McDojoLife if Facebook didn't take gunsite sa down for some stupid reason you would've found alot. Paratus on Facebook also did a bit of condemning of his training style over the years.
If you could send that info it would be appreciated
Hutzpah at it´s best!
Paulo Rubio and I recently had a conversation about this group on my Podcast. "2 FMA-Nerds Talking About Stuff" podcast. Our conversation centered around the logical and ethical presentation of information online.
What gets me is when you asked him why the male aggressor offers zero resistance & falls over he got mad & said she is not at the level where they training against resistance yet, he has repeatedly said that she has had training for many years & is a warrior/survivor. How can it be realistic if they do not train against any live resistance. Even white belts train against resistance.
He states on his website that kalah is far superior to all to Krav Maga yet they don’t train any resistance 🤷♂️
His own words on you live chat:
“She is not at the level where they use resistance, that’s higher up levels.”
His comments:
“She has trained for many years & is a warrior”
Yea that was crazy. Glad you got to watch the live. Was eye opening
those open hands looked pretty fuckin live tho
I’m no martial arts guy, but i do love guns, and i would never get so close to someone with my firearm that I’m pressing it against them, begging for a disarm. Distance is important, that’s why when we go to the gun range, we shoot at a distance, we don’t press the gun against the target. I’m not saying it’s impossible, especially with an untrained thug, but to me these gun disarms are a bit in the realm of fantasy and mostly for show to attract paying students.
Gun-fu and pewpew-jutsu are recognized as bona-fide real martial arts.
Jokingly aside, the practice of firearms is a real martial art in japan called Hōjutsu.
So what's your black belt degree and is it NRA certified?
I don't think the Dillman rating applies here, this guy is on the same level as Holmgang Hamburg (who swing sharp swords at each other) and the crazy Russian guy who chopped into his student's arm with an axe. The Dillman rating is good for the Wide World of Woo, but this kind of training is Darwin award stupid. There is a distinct line between simulation and reality, and live ammunition crosses that line. If he wants to incorporate firearms discharging in the middle of a technique, he should use low-velocity airsoft guns and safety gear like everyone else. This guy needs to be stopped
Skallagrim fan here?
@@pavolverescak1712 Sometimes, yeah. Definitely a fan of Scholagladiatoria and Tod's Workshop. I'm just a HEMA guy who likes to fight with swords and stuff lol
With regards to the medical bills, although I'm unaware of the situation in his specific location, it is worth remembering that a lot of countries outside of the US have socialised healthcare, there might not have been any bills to pay.
Training with live ammo does not make you better, it just makes you dumber, or you'll get yourself or someone else seriously hurt, or you'll kill someone or you'll kill yourself.
When it comes to aggressive empty handed combat training, I don't think it's all that bad. A little slap here and there won't really hurt you but it will help you get into the sort of mentality you need for that kind of situations.
But, like you said, that doens't really matter here, that guy is all kinds of wrong in all these other stuff he is just too irresponsible to have students.
Hey Rob, I have a question (but no Instagram, so sliding into DMs there isn't an option for me).
When you were having your discussion with Idan, did he talk about (or even just offhandedly mention) deescalation or proportional use of force at all? Because every video I've seen him put out seems to just revolve around the "Rip-and-tear" end of the spectrum, but I've never seen anything where he talks about softer or even non-physical solutions to less than life-threatening situations.
Anyone who goes on about "Ultra realistic" Self Defense but doesn't even pay lip-service to the fact that there ARE situations where stomping someones nuts into a fine paste is flat out not an appropriate response is a pretty significant red flag in my book.
I personally have not heard him speak about de escalation
I took two seminars with him and practiced Kalah for 4 years with certified trainers. Yes, there is a lot of training about de-escalation. The first thing they teach you is to protect your face and neck as best as possible while saying: "Please I don't want any trouble, what do you want?" and if the response of the aggressor is money or whatever other material thing they train you to give that without hesitation because no matter how well trained you are, the person that holds the weapon has 99% of the odds are always in their favor.
Hey rob! Always been a big fan of your videos, thanks for keeping it legit man. 1 thing I noticed not a huge major point but Kalah in Hebrew is a term used in the Old Testament of the Bible which means to “complete” or “bring to an end” which fits almost as well as “lost” because this school should be brought to an end 😂
Lol the lost thing was a joke but I do appreciate the support
I believe it would be illegal in the US to use live rounds in a training class. If this isn’t something he’d change to meet the situation, that’s likely why he bailed on showing up. But this is something he would have known beforehand, which is then definitely fraudulent.
As for the slapping shit. I do believe it’s to every student’s benefit to know what contact feels like so they know they can take the pain and fuel it back into their fighting. We’ve all seen paper black belts who cave once they take a poke to the nose or a kick to the giblets (thanks Gene L)
Physical and mental abuse are 2 of the biggest aspects of breaking people before having them join the cult.
If someone train with use of live ammunition it's a red flag bigger then the Red Square in Moscow.
Does disarms with live rounds, simulates hitting the person in the face with the gun🤦🏿♂️. So then what's the point of using live rounds if you're going for reality?
Seems like bullshit disarms anyway.
I was taught that you want to keep a couple meters between you and anything you're intending to point a gun at for the reason of not letting anyone touch the gun.
Any martial arts or whatever should be used to get the gun between you and the target, and to get the muzzle oriented towards the target.
Gun fighting ain't no joke, a child with a squirrel rifle could kill Andre the Giant from the other side of a football field.
Gun training matters and it ain't this gun-kata woo-woo bullshit
@@kimkillillasfuq8212 the only reason I could think that you would allow someone to get that close to you with a gun to your head is if your back is up against something. Otherwise you should be running away. But yes there's no reason for this to be a thing. It only takes one mistake and you're dead. All for a training drill. Not worth it.
@@IsaiahSh I don't necessarily advocate running from everything the way some people do.
I was taught that turning your back to a threat is like signing your own obituary, still, the only time anybody ever pulled a gun on me, I hightailed it outta there like Usain Bolt.
Somebody opens up on you and you ain't got no cover or firepower, then you're kinda doomed.
Regardless, if you can return fire and pressure the attacker back, you have a substantially lower chance of getting shot in the back.
@@IsaiahSh to get to my point though, gunfights are won or lost, 90% of the time, before the first shot is fired.
Who you rolled up with, what kinda piece you brought, how many range hours you clocked, how many magazines you got, what kinda cover you got, shit like that
@@kimkillillasfuq8212 yea there are always scenarios where you can't run and have to fight. I was more talking about being aware of your surroundings before the person pulls a gun on you. But bottom line there's no reason to take these kind of risk for a training drill.
After the posts i was so waiting for a video on this, thanks!
I love how muddy the martial arts are...it make one learn about learning...God bless
Pretty much if you want to start martial arts that's actually going to work wrestling Brazilian Jiu Jitsu boxing and Muay Thai pretty much most effective martial arts that actually work
The rumours have been going for a long time as to how many students have been shot. And how many students have shot each other while under his instruction. But its confirmed that the number, in both cases, is non-zero.
Idan is a violent, aggressive, narcissist. Challenging him usually starts with a challenging to go fight him, but on his terms, followed by various tirades. If you find yourself on the same continent as him, watch your back after this video.
He plays on the Israel angle a lot but he lives in South Africa.
There is no limit to extremes. There is a limit to professionalism. Thank you so much for the video and the bars are so true. By the way, it's not right to endure the beatings in training and in a level situation before you act.
Maybe he thinks he's in starship troopers
I guess that's why "You don't mess with the Zohan"...
The fact is if he has any integrity then he should have done the seminar. This is legally/morally the right way to go. The moment he was deported he had a moral obligation to refund the money. (I am less then believing about the being deported but … )
And you shot your student. You did not even try use ‘blanks’. (Those can still hurt you mind you but the odds are much lower) so because of reckless training procedures you get two out of 5 Seagals. Dang it you shot your student!
Blanks can easily kill you. Ask Bruce Lee's son. You cant, because a blank on a movie set killed him. You dont train with either of those forms of ammunition unless you want to die
set this video up clean af I enjoyed every bit of it. even though the instructor by itself that this video revolves around is disheartening and sad.
The BJJ guy is stupidly brave to agree to fight this dude training with live ammo in a gun held against his chest/head.
I wouldn't go anywhere near him. hell I would not even feel comfortable staying in the same room as him!
I agree. It’s not worth messing with a psychopath, who has clearly shown no remorse for shooting a stranger.
He’s also exhibiting very erratic behavior by talking with them, then acting as if it didn’t happen, and letting his students believe who knows what.
This type of guy will have his students end up being shot over an iPhone and a purse.
The BJJ guy proved a valuable point: This guy is a coward who then inflates his ego by doing dangerous stuff.
it's interesting how open he was about the fact that a student got shot
honestly I'm kind of impressed that he decided to be so open
Thanks. I really enjoy your videos
Automatic like for the title 😂
As someone who is roughly the size/weight of the woman in the first video, I can entirely emphasise with asking a trainer/training partner to use full force to test a technique, once you‘ve gotten decent at the technique and wanting to know how you‘d fare under pressure conditions. It still didn‘t look as batshit crazy as this.
BUT where the video starts to confuse me is, why let the other person just punch you, which you wouldn‘t do in a real situation, and then the other person isn‘t really fighting back, which makes no sense for a „real“ situation either. And also, not trying to be an arse here, but she doesn’t seem super comfortable with her techniques, so maybe she‘s a newer student? That sort of pressure testing only makes sense to me, once you have a good foundation of a technique down, because otherwise what are you testing? Being yelled at? Cool.
With what I‘ve seen I definitely land on the side of abuse. 🤷♀️
What about the shooting of the student and the using live rounds and the fraud?
@@McDojoLife I mean those are so clearly out of line and completely idiotic, I didn’t see the need to really comment on them, rather tackling the clip that had people more divided on Instagram tbh.
What also still confuses me is, that he says there were no loaded guns during training, but then he shot the student, which indicates life rounds obv? Did he have both loaded and unloaded guns there? Was the loaded gun from the student? Don‘t get me wrong, in any case completely negligent and unnecessary in general. I was just genuinely curious, since I couldn’t quite make it out from his explanation . 🤔
@@athousandlives7231 if the loaded gun was from the student he could have pressed charges but admits it was the student that went to the police not the other way around.
@@McDojoLife Ah, must have been his gun then in any case. Meaning he somehow left it in close enough proximity to the training weapons to be mistaken. Absolute insanity!
Thanks for the clarification. 👍
I also love how in he shows incorrect Krav Maga techniques in his videos than bragges them out saying they don't work.
So high level SF guys in other countries train like that with live rounds yes but that's after years of firearms training and safety training and it is never allowed in the USA for miltary or special forces training because it's not really worth the risk and can be done with non live ammunition. I dont agree with it it's kinda dumb like russian SF shooting eachother in the body armor for "Confidence Building" just use simmuntion. Guys that have a track record with a negligent discharge almost killing someone should not ever be allowed to teach that kind of shit. And shouldnt be allowed to do firearms training of any kind
I signed up for an antihijack course in South Africa.....Idan didnt show up.
To add more to the word 'kalah' in Indonesia, it doesn't mean 'lost' as in you're going somewhere, took a wrong turn and now you're lost; nor does it mean 'lost' as in lost and found. That word literally mean losing a fight or a struggle :D
Keep exposing these creeps McDojo Life. You do the world a service
If someone points a gun to your head, TOUCHING YOUR HEAD, Why would you want to bring it down and across your body?? Why not just pop it up if it’s already so high
This system is taught not far from me here in the UK , I can't believe it !
Hahahahaha Mr Queermo with the slaps 😂😂😂
I don't see the problem with the methods used in Kalah, the issue is that they seem to not be completely transparent to people who come into their school (not because they are badly intentioned but not transparent by negligence, or like they feel like it is not important to mention they use live rounds for example).
It is common to have hard and painful trainings, a good example is people training different styles of Wushu/KungFu and ballerinas that we ask to reach a good side and front splits in a few weeks only. When doing that training the practitioner ALLOWS the instructor to put them in painful situations in order to bring them to a better level of physical capabilities.
TL;DR : As long as the methods were CLEARLY explained to the practitioner, there is not reason to call this abuse, as both parties agreed upon the training methods.
I think there is a point to getting some real aggression to help train your emotional response in theses situations, but it should be explained and voluntary .
well yeah but they are training also in the israeli district near to gaza
this is not a walk in the park nor your traditional Dojo next door
I dont even think it was designed for any of that
Am i getting put on a list for watching this?
i saw some of his videos on facebook and thought he had some decent information, but i definitely didn't research him or know all this (none of what I saw had firearms). guy obviously wants to be an action hero. im sure someday we will see a story about him being shot during a seminar
How is that dude not in jail??!!
Wait....he trains with live ammo!? Live friggin' ammo!?
Wow. This has got to be the worst to date. I don't think it gets any more insane than that. That's even crazier than the wannabe action movie guys who waved around guns during training exercises and rode around on motorbikes. At least they were only ACCIDENTALLY pointing loaded weapons at people.
Martial Russian roulette, im dumbfounded
Agree with McDojoLife 100% on this dude. Been following this mess from the beginning. My question is where is this all going? I mean, if it sways even a couple of people from getting ripped off or put in danger it's worth it. I just hope there's no hope of "winning" against the cult like followers. Also don't want to see a lifelong crusade against this idiocy, as at the end of the day there's no such thing as bad publicity. But if it's going to generate a lot of conversation and be helpful to McDojoLife on social via engagement/algorithm 🤷♂️ Godspeed.

The system is very interesting, the way the train, not so much.
Gotta hand it to him, Idan knows how to market himself. He made a cool short film showcasing Kalah techniques against a pistol and assault rifle. I pray to God those actors are still alive after shooting. No pun intended for once.
I'm a big fan of you and the Kalah system. I've been following both you and Idan Abolnik on social media for a good while. I even met Idan couple of years ago and it was one of the best seminars in my life. From the self defence perspective only, the best one. And believe me, I learnt from world legends in Taekwon-do and bjj (my 2 passions. I love kicks and chokes) from years now (I started training tkd in 1993 and bjj in 2007). I think you're too harsh for the guy. He's done so much for many people around the globe, especially he deserves much respect for his outstanding work in South Africa. I know how those videos you put in your material look like, but people pay to be trained this way and it works for them very well. Anyway, I wish all the best to both of you and I sincerely hope that you'll find some common ground. 🍻
Appreciate you following the page. Can you tell me one thing in the video I said that wasn’t true?
No, I cant. I was trying to say that Idan is not a mcdojo. He's a real deal. Real warrior. Just my perspective. That's it. As simple as that. And everything else is up to you man.
‘Adding resistance’ bro adding resistance should be the opposite of what he did. The second she does the technique he should apply pressure, not just slapping her around. What’s that teaching her? Thank you so much for exposing this guy
I can see the slaps being acceptable as long as the students understand what they're getting into. The system doesn't seem very effective regardless. That girl had no idea how to even approach a guy that size so there's no reason to go that hard. but then it goes off the deep end with the live ammo. What a maniac.
I want to fight him. It is not what an adult should want, but I do. I don't think I would actually go through with it, unless I was at a training session where he started slapping girls around like that. Then I would.
A big Bully. Bullys always see how far they can push but when someone pushes back they are there in the background trying to make peace, hoping no-one else hears about it.

Thanks Rob
Doing gun disarms with a condition one weapon on kill is absolutely insane. I guess he never got the memo on the four weapon safety rules.
I think he's an absolute liability to any poor sap that pays to train with him
As stated in the video, like clockwork they are in the comment section already
To start, his training methods are really rough. I've been trying to figure out a good/safe way to train with live pressure for years, and honestly, without doing what he's doing, I don't see a way to do that. Now, why haven't I? Because I'm not about to hit my students and traumatize them. Plan and simple. Also, if you're going to train like this (which I don't agree with), you should keep that pressure through until the end, not let up to allow someone to complete a technique. As for training with live ammo, why? You can get replica airsoft weapons that have the weight of a real firearm and function much the same way. I'd much rather have a little red welt then a gun shot wound. Moving on to him as a person, well he just kind of sucks. I mean you don't collect money for seminars and then not return it when you don't show. You should always keep your word, especially in a small community like the martial arts world (yes, I know the martial arts world seems large, but everyone is interconnected here. There are so few high level instructors vs the number of students, a lot of people have worked with the same lineage over the years). In summation, something is off in this dude's head. If any of his follower feel like calling me out, any time guys. Let's do it.
There's nothing realistic about this training this is just some nut sack who is getting off on beating up people who can't fight.
@@nickelmanful ehh? There sorta is...
Domestic abuse has a high likelihood of turning into the first part of the first training video we watched.
My problem is this: look at how defensive she is. That's not a fighter, that's a victim.
Training that way does not increase confidence. Building up to that does, slowly and over a long stretch of time. Usually in other arts that don't abuse you (at least not in a domestic fashion).
And here's the big thing.
That should be a once in a blue moon 'compare this to when I started level of "training".
If anything, what we saw shouldn't be training, but the test to end all tests if ever trained at all.
Imo, light positional sparring does more for practitioner longevity than going all out like this does. So much unnecessary stress and anxiety over what should be a safe learning environment.
If you want someone to quit, this is how you do it.
You train this way with a person that knows what they're doing and getting into, not someone just getting into learning how to defend themselves.
@@AGuy-s5v ain't no sorta, this is a guy who likes to hit people who can't fight back pretending to teach those same people about fighting
@@AGuy-s5v please watch the full video. That first clip is a drop in the bucket
@@McDojoLife But I did? I just have an opinion that on the overt surface is different than yours. (And actually read my comment here)
Some situations *might* turn out like this. However, I find the vast majority of "training" like that completely unnecessary for not only untrained fighters, but trained fighters as well.
I think you should re-read my comment and not assume i'm one of his minions.
(I get it, you're busy)
I also never really agreed with the training, I just pointed out that at the very least "training" like this should be done almost never. But that if you do "train" something completely insane, you should already be a skilled and competent professional, (Bjj black belt, muay Thai fighter, wrestler) not some person looking for a safe place to learn how to defend themselves.
Maybe this is the context my comment needs.
When you say "live ammunition", surely that includes blanks? He couldn't have been doing that with real bullets in the pistol, surely? Apologies, I'm from the UK.
Real bullets
Even blanks are super dangerous at close distances, especially pressed right up against someone's head lol
@@McDojoLife My God! Surely rule No. 1 of gun safety Day 1, lesson 1 is "Don't ever point a loaded gun at someone (unless you plan to kill them)" Even us limeys know that. There's no 'self defence' training that's worth dying over. That kinda defeats the point.
And here's the thing. Even blanks are dangerous.
They tell you never to hold a lit firework in your hands right?
You'll blow off your hand from the firework going off alone.
Blanks in a firearm or prop gun are no different than a glorified firework going off right next to your head. (Assuming your head is in the unfortunately fortunate position next to the gun and not in front of it.)
Regardless, the basic rules of firearm safety details one rule is should stress:
"Don't point the gun at anything you don't intend to destroy."
@@barnabykent6698 Go read the other rules of gun safety. He's breaking more than one my friend!

This is why I never accept any challenge fights. Best avoid these things. If you want competition enter a legit tournament. As far as a real fight.....stick to avoidance and self defense.
Omg, at first it looked wierd with slaping, but I was like... Ok maybe she agreed some how to that... But training with live ammo... Are they fricking nuts 🤕🤕
Any link to the interview with fake black belt and this guy?
who is the “fake black belt” guy he was on the thing with, I can’t find his channel
Fakeblackbelts on Instagram
So many things, wrong with this situation.
1 you can provide a realistic feeling without making contact, because if you injure your students, and they can't continue to practice, how are you going to continue to stay in business!
2 using live rounds in a training situation has to be the absolute worst idea EVER, you can use blanks or airsoft and get the same results, without the lethality
3 taking peoples money for a service that wasn't provided in the end is wrong
If you don't want to refund it then you should reschedule the dates and contact the people who you got the money from WITH THE DATE AND VENUE of a seminar they can attend
Or provide them with a voucher for any of your other seminars free of entry charge! Let them decide if they want to go to one of your events.
Stuff like this makes me angry, we're martial artists we should be polishing our character, not tarnishing it
I know this was 2 years ago but he mentioned someone called fake black belts on RUclips and I e searched and can’t find anyone with that name or anything even close.
this guy is a darwin award trainer
It still blows my mind how many people can’t intuit that getting within arms reach of someone completely defeats the purpose of a ranged weapon and pay money for “disarm training”
Have you considered that many people who use a gun to rob you will be within arm's reach. Especially because the gun is used to intimidate you to do whatever. Also in cases of sexual assaults, kidnapping etc think about it
@@connorvanvuuren6455 No I haven’t. Because I can stand 6 feet away from you and demand that you set your item on the ground and walk away.
And if I’m going to sexually assault or kidnap someone who can beat me in a fight I can throw zip ties at them and demand they cuff themselves before closing distance.

@@Rykojames one of many examples
@@Rykojames yeah but you did not kidnap anybody nor did you shoot anybody - i can tell by the way you write it all down elaborately
It can happen like you say - but than your dead anyway
If been assaulted and attacked on a much lower scale of violence but the attackers did some stupid stuff one would never expect or think of reasonable
OMG! Can’t believe he uses live rounds while teaching disarms. Especially after having shot someone accidentally previously.
i think this guy is legit insane.
well granted where he works... i sort of dont doubt it
He’s very dangerous doing a gun disarm with a loaded gun. I have been handling guns since I was 8, with extensive arms training during my 20 + years in the military. Basic safety rules include: you treat every gun as if it were loaded, never point the gun at anyone, keep your finger off of the trigger until your ready to shoot, and always be sure of what’s beyond your target. Personally if I’m being robbed at gun point he can have my wallet and what’s in it which, is usually only a few dollars. I would never risk doing a disarm it’s just not worth it.
I think this guy deserves his own scale...
I agree with you!
Hey mc dojo what do you think of nick drososs
Loving this channel. Live round training is not unheard of in the armed forces.
But this dude is a unique type of special.
Military live-fire exercises are NOTHING like that. Before a training event is run with live rounds, or even simmunitions (read: glorified paintball rounds, which will chamber in a service rifle, but require a special bolt that will not chamber or fire off a live round) there is working up to the main event involved, starting with briefings, to dry runs at various speed levels, and finally the main event.
You never stick a live-loaded weapon in someone's face, chest, back, etc, unless the intent is to actually put a hole in them.
Never once did this martial arts instructor speak about teaching firearm safety or the 4 weapons safety rules. He just gives students a live firearm allowing them to resume weapons disarmament training without understanding weapons safety first. Thanks mcdojo for posting this to spread awareness regarding these negligent coaches.
You know it's funny, the one thing I learned about disarms is actually a safety rule too, which is maintaining positive control over the weapon
You should sign up for a Kalah course yourself so you can judge for yourself first hand. Much love and God bless.
Did you see the issues I had with this person? Everyone of the issues I had he admits to.
Did you truly watch the video?
@@McDojoLife Yeah, I did watch the video. The stress they put in the training is there to prepare you for the stress that you'd experience in a real emergency situation, its a necessary part of the program.
You see... doing firearm disarm training isn't bad at all. However, using a live gun isn't the best thing to do. Even with the first video with the woman, maybe lighten up on the slaps.
Idan is the laughing stock of the combatives community in South Africa.
Nobody that knows anything takes him seriously.
Please dont judge all SA instructors by him. We have some great guys in the industry.
Stay Safe from South Africa
You really, really do and I train regularly down that way for that reason, but wouldn't touch Idan with a barge pole.
That is pretty crazy. This guy seems like a piece of work. How is he teaching anything.
