How would you like to spend a day with active elite IDF soldiers in a combat training exercise that includes firing of live ammo from a semi automatic assault weapon and basic training in Israeli born Krav Maga (self defense)….

We did and I can’t wait to tell you about it!

First, you have to check out this amazing live video taken with a head mounted GoPro camera.

What is Caliber 3 ..

They are the premier counter terror and security training academy in Israel. Originally, founded by Israeli Defense Forces Col. Sharon Gat (Res.) in 2003, they offer professional training for governments and military worldwide as well as adventure shooting and combat training for tourists and locals like us.

Actually run by active and reserve elite combat soldiers of the IDF, Caliber (קליבר); a term in Hebrew used to describe someone who commands and deserves the highest accolades of honor and respect, was founded and established in memory of Hagai Levy who was killed in action just one week after he returned from a visit to Auschwitz.

Caliber 3- Its the Real Deal

Why are they the real deal? Simple because they stand for a cause. ..

“For Generations the Jewish People have had to learn to defend themselves”

It is not just target practice or the opportunity to fire a genuine IDF automatic weapon (although that is pretty cool in itself). The professionals at Caliber 3 start their program with an explanation of the importance of a strong military as a deterrent from aggression from any hostile neighbor or terrorist threat both from within Israel or outside.

The Holocaust (Shoah) is referenced in the context of “Never Again”. The Israeli people and Eretz Israel must survive in order to ensure the safety of Jews worldwide. Each Israeli soldier puts his life on the line every day to protect you.
