  Haganah system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Haganah system ("Defense system" in Hebrew) is based on the Israeli Defense Force's combat training.
The system's main goal is to have the combatant enter a "point of reference." This point is a lock/grab around the neck, and the back of the aggressor.
Haganah also covers various hand-to-hand combat techniques such as multiple types of arm blows, and different types of low kicks to the legs, executed with or without shoes.

 Martial art
Systems of fighting have likely been in development since learning became transferable among humans, along with the strategies of conflict and war.
Students were traditionally trained in a strict hierarchical system by a master instructor ("sensei" in Japanese; in Chinese "sifu", or "shifu", lit., the master-father), who was supposed to look after your welfare, and the student was encouraged to memorize and recite without deviation the rules and routines of the school.
Some system of certification is usually involved as well, where one's skills would be tested for mastery before being allowed to study further; in some systems, such as in kung fu, there were no certifications, only years of close personal practice under a master, much like an apprenticeship, until the master deemed your skills sufficient.
