Theories are nice until they are put to the test. Yet, each trainee has the latent instincts to function well under multiple scenarios. Therefore, the most effective way is enhancing one's natural instincts while training under real life full power conditions, not practicing techniques that only work in the gym. If you train in a manner that is incoherent with your instincts- there is a high likel
ihood that this would turn against you in real time.

We know what is essential /effective /lethal, and what is not. Bottom line- we know what does and doesn't work in real life. Hard work and correct guidance built upon the foundations of tested Krav-Maga techniques, and in-depth psychological understandings; this form of training has produced significant results in hundreds of civilians, combat operators and security personnel. The realization-Their readiness to a real fight was simply very high, and was well adapted to their specific needs.

Instinct’s instructors-
- led by sergeant first class Kfir Itzhaki, maintain the original meaning of the term “Special Forces”- a term that has been abused in the past couple of years. Our instructors are from an elite unit of the Israeli Defense Forces. This unit is considered among the best in its specialty- that of urban counter-terrorism.
- carried out many operations where most of them were concluded by violent close up contact, and were in charge of close quarter armed and unarmed combat instruction for this unit.
- work as active subject matter experts and senior advisors to that unit, as well as chief Krav Maga instructors at the Israeli court security academy.
- highly experienced in security, where during their work they have experienced countless violent incidents in diverse arenas. Instinct is associated with Protect, headed by professor Itay Gil (Captain, Res. IDF).

Our goal- Teaching fighting skills, not fighting theories
We incorporate the best techniques from multiple martial disciplines. We teach realistic fighting skills, not martial arts. That is why we can’t afford technical fixation, and don’t use belts or ranks. Our martial truth is characterized by technical and conceptual flexibility. The background and previous training experience of our trainees is not an issue for us. We believe in mutual cooperation and in the abilities of the trainees as freethinking and open minded individuals. Integrity and professionalism are our topmost priority.
