Gavriel Schneider Public Seminar (Saturday 28th September 1:30 - 3:30 pm)
This seminar is for adults aged 18+ of any experience level.
One of the integral components to the Krav Maga Yashir system is head instructor Gershon Ben Keren’s collaborations and communications with peers in both the martial arts and security industries,
as well as the academic community. These collaborations help to enhance the approach and specific aspects of the Krav Maga Yashir system, and on Saturday 28th September between 1:30 and 3:30 pm,
we are offering the opportunity for members of the school as well as members of the public to directly learn from one visiting individual who Gershon has worked and exchanged ideas with,
over the years.
Dr/Master Gavriel Schneider (click here to see bio) will be conducting a seminar, that looks at realistic self-defense with an Israeli and South African “flavor”. Gavriel has lived, worked and spent time performing security duties in both countries (along with many others) and brings a uniquely informed perspective to reality-based self-defense. South Africa has one of the highest global crime rates, with murders, rapes and robberies occurring at an alarming rate. Also, after the U.S., it’s the country with the highest number of serial killers. Living, operating and working safely in such a country requires a certain security mindset and way of thinking. Having worked for many years in the South African security industry Gavriel is well positioned to present solutions to violence in a number of different contexts. Whilst “ordinary” crime in Israel is relatively low, the country faces its own security issues regarding terrorism, including active killer (knife and gun) incidents, and abductions etc. For two years Gavriel was a live-in student of Dennis Hanover, teaching Hisardut daily (he is currently an 8th Degree Black Belt), and attending military Krav Maga seminars/courses at the Wingate Institute. To get a better understanding of what Hisardut – meaning “survival” in Hebrew – is there are two videos below which will give you a better idea of the approach/method.
The cost for this two-hour seminar is $150 (if you are a member of the school please use the link in the email you received in order to get the disounted rate), and it is being held at Krav Maga Yashir Boston,
in Woburn, located just off of I-95 and I-93. It is suitable for adults over the age of 18, and no previous

Bio: Dr. Gavriel Schneider
Originally from South Africa, Dr/Master Gavriel Schneider started his martial arts training in the 1980’s studying Shotokan and Goja Ryu Karate. In 1996 He travelled to Israel and became a live-in student of Grandmaster Soke Dennis Hanover (founder of Hisardut), teaching classes daily at Dennis’s studio/dojo, in Herzliya, Israel. During this time, he also studied Military Krav Maga at the Wingate Institute and met with Imi Lichtenfeld (attributed with the founding of Krav Maga) several times. Gavriel also underwent intensive pistol and SMG (Sub-Machine Gun) training and received certification as an international practical shooter from the Israeli Shooting Association. Gavriel is an 8th Degree Black Belt in Hisardut/DSJJ (and in 2000 won the DSJJ Full Contact Championship in the Middleweight Division) and has been a coach to the South African Muay Thai team as well as a member of the South African Full Contact Tae-Kwon-Do team.
Gavriel has worked extensively in the security industry as an operative, trainer and consultant, and has experience fulfilling these roles internationally (in 17 countries). Gavriel has undertaken extensive academic studies and was awarded his PhD from UNISA in 2012 after a 5-year research study assessing best practice use of force and defensive tactics training methodology. He is currently the CEO of the Risk2Solution Group – Australia’s most awarded integrated Risk Management solutions provider incorporating Risk, Resilience, Culture and Performance, Security, Safety, Medical and Health as well as cyber security.
Gavriel brings together his real-world experiences of dealing with violence, his academic understanding of risk and security, along with a history of martial arts excellence to provide realistic and effective self-defense training.
