Free Zoom Workshop on Self Defense and Safety

By Michoel Shapiro
Founder, Krav Combat Academy

I’ve been teaching self-defense for over 20 years, and I’ve never seen a time quite like this. The recent surge in antisemitic incidents has affected Jewish communities worldwide – from college campuses in America to neighborhoods in European cities like Amsterdam and Antwerp. Many of us are asking the same urgent questions: How do we protect ourselves? What do we do if we’re targeted?

Here’s the hard truth: When an attack happens, you typically have just seconds to react. Police and community patrols do incredible work, but they can’t be everywhere at once. The first crucial moments of an attack often unfold before help arrives – and these moments matter most.

I covered these crucial points in detail in my video on street violence prevention:

The response has been overwhelming, with thousands of people sharing and implementing these life-saving insights. But given recent events, it’s time to go even deeper.

What You Need to Know
Most street attacks are ambushes – there’s rarely a warning or “fair fight”

Criminals have specific patterns and behaviors that signal their intentions

Your body language and awareness level directly affect whether you’re targeted

Simple changes in your mindset around violence can significantly reduce your risk

Free Online Safety Workshop – Thursday, November 21st
In this workshop, I’ll take the essential points about ambush prevention and street survival that I covered in my video, and break them down in detail. You’ll learn exactly how real street attacks unfold – and it’s not what most people imagine. We’ll do a deep dive into the criminal’s playbook: their tactics, their timing, and the subtle signals they give off before they strike. I’ll walk you through real scenarios, showing you what to look for in someone’s body language, how attackers choose and assess their targets, and most importantly – how to avoid becoming one. From situational awareness to specific defensive strategies, you’ll learn practical techniques that work in the real world. This isn’t about elaborate self-defense moves – it’s about staying one step ahead of those who mean you harm. The skills and insights you’ll gain have helped thousands of my students stay safer on the streets.
