   Kapap is practical and can be learned by just about anyone,in any condition,in a short time.Due to the structure and logic of the techniques,the system is absorbed quickly.Kapap's philosophy is that no one has the right to interfere with you with malicious intent and anyone who does,should be dealt with immediately and aggressively-the priority being that you are safe and secure at the end of the day.All Kapap's tactics are direct,they are fast and they are effective.                                                                                                                                               Whether you are a housewife or a security professional,Kapap has a programme that will enable you to achieve your personal security goals and meet your self-defence needs.If a technique works then continue to use it and if it doesn't then get rid of it,regardless of the martial art system.It could be Kapap,Kendo,Karate,Krav Maga,Kali,Jui-jutsu,Tae Kwon Do or any other martial arts system.                                                                                                                                  Thats the beauty of Kapap,evolution and evaluation,truly an open minded martial art.

  All Kapap/Lotar instructors are Krav Maga instructors in the military,but not all Krav Maga instructors are Kapap instructors.
Kapap Combatives focus on the real dangers that threaten us so you will learn how to defend against surprise attacks,groups,weapons.What to do in enclosed spaces,how to fight back from the ground,and much more.
Unlike a lot of martial arts we dont train for yesterday(such as kicking an attacker from horseback),we train for tomorrow(such as muggings,attempted snatches and car-jacking).This is the system of choice for over 60 military and law enforcement units all over the world.So if you want to learn an effective,no-nonsense approach to self-protection then Kapap Combatives could be for you.
