1. “To practice karate
There must be harmony amongst all people”.

We want a better world, we want love and harmony amongst people no matter what color you are, what race or what background you come from or s*xual orientation.

a) find harmony in disharmony
b) work is life and life is work
c) don’t live someone else’s life
d) don’t be a know-it-all, be a learn-it-all.
e) do it with passion
f) find your sparkle
g) life is not a rehearsal
h) make good sleep, nutrition & exercise is part of your daily life. Good relationship build happy lives.

2. “To practice karate
There must be courtesy at all times”.

The first point of courtesy must be truth. Courtesy while you’re thinking what to say. The path of martial arts begins and end with courtesy. So be genuinely polite on every occasion.

3. “ To practice karate
There must be self-control”.

Self control is the only possible road to character development. The main factor behind success is self control.

Self discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do.

Self control-
Is a goal you must set,
Is a target you must meet,
Learn to control “YOU”.

4. “To practice karate
From one thing you must learn ten thousand times”.

The martial way begins with one thousand days and is mastered after ten thousand days of training.

Trust the process.
Your time is coming. Just do the work and the results will handle themselves. Whole life have a balance, everything be better. Great things come out of patience.

Krav Maga

The shortest and fastest method of self defense

Immrich "Imi" lichtenfeld(Sde-Or) Z”L ( 5.26.1910 – 1.9.1998)

Imi, the founder of Krav Maga, was born in Budapest, Hungary and grew up in Bratislava Slovakia. Imi’s father, Shmuel Lichtenfeld - who was both an athlete and the Chief Inspector for the local police detective - was a great inspiration to him. Imi excelled in swimming, gymnastics, wrestling and boxing. In 1928, Imi won the Slovakia youth national wrestling title and in 1929 won the overall Slovakian national wrestling championship, as well as the national boxing and gymnastics championships.

In the 1930’s there was widespread anti-Semitism in Europe. His high profile as both a trainer and athlete made him a target of the anti-Semite gangs who specifically wanted to harm Jews.

In 1940 Imi fled from Europe via boat to Palestine, which was then under control of the British. The boat was caught by the British before it reached Palestine and ran aground in the Greek Dodecanese Islands. Imi and the other passengers were sent to a holding camp in Cyprus. While in Cyprus, he joined the Free Czech Legion which operated under the supervision of the British Army.

In 1942 Imi made an Aliyah (the “return” trip of a Jew to Israel) and enlisted in Palmach, the elite fighting force of the Haganah (pre-independence Israel’s forerunner of the IDF). In 1944 Imi began training fighters in his various areas of expertise: physical fitness, swimming, face to face combat (primarily fighting with the use of a stick), wrestling, boxing, Jujitsu and knife fighting (both defensive and offensive), most likely based upon the Haganah’s own training programs. Due to his vast knowledge and experience, Imi established himself at the top the of the physical fitness and self-defense program. In 1948, when the State of Israel was founded, with time Imi became the Chief Instructor for both physical fitness and self defense in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).







Imi founded the Krav Maga method based on the statement “The shortest and fastest method”. Imi developed self defense techniques against physical attacks and threats by opponents with weapons. Based on the needs of the IDF at that time, the training program emphasized bare hand combat as well as proficiency with a rifle - reducing the need fighting with a stick. The new training program was based more on Jujitsu, focusing on bars and body locks for the purpose of defense and avoidance of grabs, bear hugs and choke holds. Over time Imi noticed that some of the techniques being taught were complicated and could not be executed quickly by all of trainees. He decided to adapt and change the technique so that every soldier would be fully trained after a short learning period.

In 1964 Imi retired from military service; however, he continued to be involved in the ongoing development of Krav Maga for the IDF for the rest of his life. The same year Imi opened a civilian school for Krav Maga in the Israeli city of Netanya. Training civilians added a new dimension to Krav Maga. They questioned some of the concepts of Krav Maga while comparing it to other martial arts. This feedback motivated Imi to continue to develop the Krav Maga method.

Imi developed the Krav Maga method based upon the following principles:

1.Don’t get hurt

2.Act to the best of your ability, but act correctly

3.Use your knowledge, but only as needed

4.The simplest way is the shortest and fastest way

Based on this ideology Imi developed simple and effective techniques that any person at any age could perform

Here is a list of things you need to teach your Child(ren) at early age:

1: Warn your Child Never to sit on anyone's laps no matter the situation including uncles.

2: Avoid Getting Dressed in front of your child once he/she is 2 years old. Learn to excuse them or yourself.

3. Never allow any adult refer to your child as 'my wife' or 'my husband'

4. Whenever your child goes out to play with friends make sure you look for a way to find out what kind of play they do, because young people now s*xually abuse themselves.

5. Never force your child to visit any adult he or she is not comfortable with and also be observant if your child becomes too fond of a particular adult.

6. If a very lively child suddenly becomes awkward you may patiently need to ask the child lots of questions and try to understand this sudden change.

7. Carefully educate your grown ups about the right values of s*x . If you don't, the society will teach them the wrong values.

8: It is always advisable you go through any new Material like cartoons you just bought for them before they start seeing it themselves.

9. Ensure you activate parental controls on your cable networks and advice your friends especially those your child(ren) visit(s) often.

10. Teach your 3 years old children, how to wash their private parts properly and warn them never to allow anyone touch those areas and that
includes you (remember, change begins from home and with you).

11: Blacklist some materials/associates you think could threaten the sanity of your child (this includes music, movies and even friends and families).

12. Let your child(ren) understand the value of standing out of the
crowd.

13: Once your child complains about a particular person, don't keep quiet about it.

Take up the case and show them you can defend them.

Remember, we are either parents or parents-to-be.
and remember "THE PAIN LASTS A LIFETIME"

Have a Nice day and Great Week Ahead

And possible forward to all friends who have children.
