At Shadowkapap, our mission is clear; we provide effective self defence training to individuals, groups and corporate clients.Kapap training is highly individualized training with a focus on a broad-spectrum of self protection. We believe the end state of self protection training is an understanding that there is no end state. The goal is an evolving level of protection resulting in mental and physical resilience which ensures the survival of you and your loved ones.

Kapap is not a traditional martial art.The Kapap self protection system (civilian version) was created to bring students to a high level of proficiency in a relatively short period of time. There are no forms (katas) or rules or set combinations to attacks.

Instead, Kapap training focuses on teaching simple self protection techniques which are specifically catered to reality based attack situations. Kapap is much more of a survival system dealing with personal safety issues. It is considered to be a modern, highly refined defence system, designed to be used against armed and unarmed attackers. Kapap addresses a wide variety of aggressive acts which include punches, kicks, chokes, bear hugs, headlocks, grabs, as well as defences against multiple attackers and assailants armed with a firearms, edged weapons, or blunt objects. Kapap includes specialized training methods to not only challenge students physically, but to also instil a mental discipline to strengthen the spirit and to develop the ability to deal with violent confrontations under intense stress. Tested on the battlefield and in the streets, Kapap’s practical approach to self defence will make you safer and more secure.

In these courses we offer a no nonsense down to earth training program that hasstripped away the non essentials. It is based on experience not theory, and teaches proven solutions that have and are still used by the military and law enforcement.Our training methods teach self protection principles that work regardless of the threat or technique they are simple to learn and easy to remember.

We use realistic training scenarios that are based on actual case studies so you know that you are going to receive practical skills that work in the real world.The systems that we teach are the latest know how from the specialist fields of security,anti terrorism, police tactics,modern warfare and most of all realistic urban/street fighting.KAPAP (translates to ) the Hebrew acronym for Krav Panim el Panim (“Panim "- Face, which means face -to-face combat). The KAPAP program teaches a unique combination of Israeli military/Police and counter terror units hand-to-hand defensive tactics, which helps you, defeat stronger, more skilled, and even armed opponents.

Defending yourself and your loved ones does not have to take years to learn. Military and security personnel for example usually only have a few days to learn hand-to- hand combat. KAPAP does not employ countless, complicated techniques, but is an easy-to-learn system, which enable you to get confident and capable right away. 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 andanyone who does should be dealt with immediately and aggressively – the priority being that you are safe and secure at the end of the day.
