Integrated Defensive Fighting Systems, Inc. (IDFS) is proud to present the Fierce Israeli Guerilla Hand-to-hand Tactics (F.I.G.H.T.) program.
The F.I.G.H.T. program uses the most effective self-defense system available today – Haganah. Haganah is a Hebrew word meaning “defense.” The Haganah self-defense system is a complete Israeli Combative methodology based on both Israeli martial arts and Israeli military tactics used by Israeli Special Forces operatives in extremely hostile situations.
The Haganah system (and its components) was born out of a need to enable a state (or person) at a disadvantage – such as size or degree of armament – to defeat an adversary with an advantage.
Since it’s declaration of statehood in 1948, Israel (which is smaller than most states in the U.S.) has been under constant military and terrorist attack. As a result of its constant engagement in various types of combat, and its ability to defeat much larger opponents, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is considered by many to be one of the best Armies in the world today. Special Forces members of the IDF are regarded around the globe as top of the line, due to their extensive hands on combat experience. The techniques incorporated into the system have been proven in violent hand-to-hand combat situations in Israel and have been carefully adapted to street oriented self-defense.
The Haganah system is far from being an ordinary Martial Art; it is the wave of the future in hand-to-hand combat and street fighting methodologies. It incorporates both unarmed and armed fighting methods. One of the most important features of the Haganah system is that, unlike many traditional martial arts systems, it is continuously enhanced. The IDF periodically updates its hand-to-hand and other combat techniques based upon its daily combat experience. Haganah integrates those updates after adapting them for use by civilians and law enforcement professionals. Additionally, we are constantly evaluating other methodologies such as those used by the various U.S. Special Forces to add in any of their techniques, which would strengthen the system. There is no ego in the Haganah system. It uses the best of the best in self-defense and combat methodologies.
The F.I.G.H.T. program encompasses the hand-to-hand and empty hand weapons defense components of the Haganah system.

There are many forms of reality self defense but this is a new era. Here are some definitions from Wikipedia:
Reality Based Self Defense (RBSD) is a blanket term for an approach to self-defense training that focuses on practical application. RBSD practitioners emphasize training that directly relates to the most dangerous of all possible situations. To accomplish this, training includes but is not limited to scenario and weapons (including guns, knives, and batons) training. In RBSD training prime importance is placed on gross motor skill training and simple, high-percentage moves. Furthermore RBSD schools minimize or eliminate elements of martial artstraining that are not directly related to practical application, such as acrobatic or aesthetic techniques, rituals, ceremony and kata. In their techniques, many RBSD systems draw on military systems, especially World War II combatives.
RBSD practitioners believe that overall efficiency and effectiveness for the average person will override any consideration of style, and that priority should be given to those tactics which allow the unarmed individual to safely and efficiently arm themselves as quickly as possible during a confrontation. This is considered a much higher-percentage solution than attempting to prevail by virtue of one’s unarmed skill and training.
Gross motor skills are simple, large-muscle group actions like squats, push-ups and push/pull-type movements. This includes basic fighting skills like a straight punch, a hook punch or a Thai boxer’s knee strike for example. Unlike fine and complex motor skills, gross motor skills do not deteriorate under stress;[citation needed] in fact, they may be enhanced by the effects of fear and stress.[1]
Here is a news report on HaganaH aired August 24, 2007 on Mike Lee Kanarek training the USCG.
