Combative -There are some things one can Only study in a storm...

"A warrior is a wide range of qualities , a champion is a fighter BUT may be

missing the qualities to be called warrior "

" The right to be called "Student" in martial art is first to know your Obligation "

Quotes By Avi Nardia

“Shikai”- “the four sicknesses”,” kyo-ku-gi-waku” - “surprise, fear, doubt and

hesitation” 
"Kyokugiwaku" The four mental maladies; astonishment, fear, doubt, hesitation.

Junichi Haga, genius of the Showa Period, Joined Hakudo Nakayama’s Yushinkan.
Along with Kiyoshi Nakakura and Gorozo Nakajima, eventually became known as
Yushinkan’s “Three Crows”, a Japanese expression meaning 3 top practitioners of
near equal skill.

The most important element in life is luck...It is an element we can't

controll...always know in self-defense situations that luck is the key
element. ...you could be doing well and still get killed or do badly and
survive...your luck began where and when you were born and to which
family...from then on, most of your life relied not only on your skills, knowledge
and ambitions ...I have worked a lot in Africa where I saw kids with no one to help
guide or even feed. Kids sleeping on the streets trying to survive. We are so Lucky
to be healthy and comfortable that is why our study and REALITY Based martial
art is so different

I have seen many students loosing their way as when you don't know where
you're going and what you are looking - You will never find it ,explore - but do
not get Lost.

To a swordsman, nothing is more important than Honor and respect. Many

years in the martial arts I have spoken of the 47 Ronin Nobel yet there is a
divide between talking and walking the walk. It is said "talk the talk and walk
the walk" an uncommon occurrence in the world of modern martial art who
exhibits high levels of selfishness and egoism, abusing the word Budo

My personal experience while following many respectable teachers is

when someone tells you are the last person he will hurt, remember you are still
on the list. Many a time I have heard friends compliment themselves by stating
they will take a bullet for me and always I found they were the ones who shot
me....

I am captivated by Heraclitus, a Greece philosopher and impressed by his

wisdom.

Here are a few his quotes:

"Much learning does not teach understanding"

"Knowledge is not intelligence"

"Those who love wisdom must investigate many things"

"Big results require big ambitions"

I was very ambitious in holding honor and respect and in creating a good name
for Israeli Martial arts and clearing the true history of Israeli martial art who
many claim they teach but avoid the real knowledge only to make themselves
look better.

I began with nothing, no club and no one knowing about Kapap Krav Maga and
Israeli martial art and its history. Today, the world is overloaded by Kapap
systems all over the globe with many charlatan's attempting to trying to copy
and reinvent the wheel, claiming they also are the founders of JKD no matter if
Bruce Lee invented it first.

Once day during a Gashuku at Portugal I saw Sensei Morio Higahona's demo
and it become so clear to me that His Goju Ryu is so different from all the other
teacher's in the Gashuku including all his students worldwide and that made me
follow him to Japan and maintain my study there. Years of study in Japan
deepening the study of Karate and Judo, Jiujutsu, Kyudo and many arts
including some Shiatsu and always seeing foreigners visit for a week, sure they
are last Samurai and leaving after a week with inflated egos and ignorance while
others stay for years following the teachers and there was big deferent as the
Teacher is the one who makes the system and not the Federation or any
business Method. That is why, when some people began recently to name
themselves Kapap, I was smiling as one is not even close to the other ...a dog
has four legs and a tail yet if you call a cat a dog it is still a cat.

Some say I'm changing and must again share from Heraclitus's wisdom

"The only thing that is constant is change."

"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s
not the same man"

Today I decide to set all my students free and dismissed them, we remain
friends but they do not need me in any way to do whatever they want and
dream and act against my way and that's why I am stepping out from being
their teacher.

I prefer teaching one right student the right way than let people go wrong,
since I respect their wish to explore and play but time is of essence and it is also
my time as teacher that most students forget and after giving the civilian
market many years of my life where my family life was put ahead of my
personal family, I decide to dismiss all them

“One person is ten thousand to me, if he is the best.”

As Heraclitus Said on Soldiers...

"Out of every one-hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just
targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make
the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior and he shall bring the others back"
I decide to dismiss everyone.

Give me one man from among ten thousand if he is the best.

I always said Let me fly with eagles and not be surround by Chickens

Alone samurai is A Rōnin Japanese: 浪人, meaning 'drifter' or 'wanderer') was a

samurai absent a lord or master during the feudal period of Japan (1185–1868).

In the Bubo we all step alone or the path of aloneness and slowly with time
understand - The "Dokkōdō" (Japanese: 獨行道) ("The Path of Aloneness", "The
Way to Go Forth Alone", or "The Way of Walking Alone") is a short work written
by Miyamoto Musashi a week before he died in 1645. It consists of 21 precepts.
"Dokkodo" was largely composed on the occasion of Musashi giving away his
possessions in preparation for death, and was dedicated to his favorite
disciple, Terao Magonojō (to whom the earlier Go rin no sho [The Book of Five
Rings] had also been dedicated), who took them to heart. "Dokkōdō" expresses
a stringent, honest, and ascetic view of life.

Principles
The 21 principles of Dokkodo:
1. Accept everything just the way it is.
2. Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.
3. Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling.
4. Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.
5. Be detached from desire your whole life long.
6. Do not regret what you have done.
7. Never be jealous.
8. Never let yourself be saddened by a separation.
9. Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself nor others.
10. Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love.
11. In all things have no preferences.
12. Be indifferent to where you live.
13. Do not pursue the taste of good food.
14. Do not hold on to possessions you no longer need.
15. Do not act following customary beliefs.
16. Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful.
17. Do not fear death.
18. Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age.
19. Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help.
20. You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honor.
21. Never stray from the Way.
