At Combat survival/"CKM" har endel fornuftig i seg skal jeg ikke argumentere mot. Monis bakgrunn er fra judo og tradisjonell jujitsu. Derunder har jo særlig judo endel bra å fare med. Dette spesielt på biten hva angår treningsmetodikk og det man kaller aliveness.Det viktige å merke seg er uansett at CKM IKKE er Krav Maga. Om Moni hadde kalt systemet sitt Combat Judo, Combat jujitsu så hadde dette passet bedre på det han lærer ut. I denne sammenhengen kan det nevnes at vi som har fulgt med en stund husker godt for bare få år tilbake når Moni kun markedsførte stilen sin som Combat Survival. Det var først etter at navnet Krav Maga ble populært i USA at han skiftet navn til Commando Krav Maga.
Nå er forsåvidt ikke slike ting noe nytt i kampsport verden. Ashida Kim (eller hva han nå het) og andre lignende figurer har i en årrekke drevet med markedsføring uten å backe opp det de sier med fakta eller valid dokumentasjon. Slik jeg forstår det nå er det dog gått så langt med CKM at en rekke tidligere instruktører har gått sammen for å fremme et søksmål mot Moni. Instruktører i land som England, Nederland og Australia har sluttet i systemet pga at det har gått opp for dem at Moni ikke kan dokumentere sine påstander. Med andre ord, de har ikke fått det de betalte dyre dommer for. Logisk nok er det selvfølgelig noen som har undersøkt i Monis bakgrunn. Hva en av disse har kommet fram til kan man lese her. (som man ser samsvarer ikke dette i det hele tatt med hva Moni sier og med hva CKM markedsfører seg med)
"For those interested in some further facts about Mr. Moni Aizik:
1) Moni claims: "I was a member of an elite commando unit in the Israeli Special Forces."
Moni Aizik was not drafted as and did not even serve as a combat soldier in the IDF. He was classified as a gifted athlete due to the fact that he was a judo champion when he was a kid. In Israel, because military service is mandatory, the government still tries balance out very carefully between a soldier giving the country his mandatory time and not having that soldier ruin his future potentials.
Gifted individuals such as highly academic individuals or athletes, are exempt from combat service in the IDF.
Moni Aizik was drafted and served his short service in the IDF as a physical fitness instructor. He was in fact assigned to one of the special units as their physical fitness instructor. By no means does this qualify him to state "I was a member of an elite commando unit."
Back then, as it still is today, the IDF has a separate physical fitness division. Instructors are absorbed into that division after completing 1 month of basic training (as opposed to the full 3 months for combat soldiers), and are then assigned to specific units to carry out their functions of physical fitness.
The true and accurate statement Moni needs to make in his advertising is: "I was a physical fitness instructor in the army assigned to one of the elite commando units". And again, he dealt ONLY with physical fitness he had nothing to do with krav maga.
The photos on his website also solidify this fact. Under his photo gallery section he has 20 photos. 5 of them are black and whites actually of him during his service time. 4 out of those are the only ones that depict his environment of service, which is physical fitness.
there is one where he is having a tug of war, this is from 'yom sport' (sport day) which takes place every year where unit recruits compete against other recruits. The physical fitness instructors have their own team that they compete against the recruits.
Then there are 2 of him in a helemet, battle vest, and rifle on his back, in one he is running and in the other he is crossing the parallel bars. This is the 'bochan maslul', it is an obstacle course every soldier goes through many times through out their training. The physical fitness instructors run through it many times as well.
Then he has a colour photo of him sitting down on the ground in uniform. This photo is a classic example of how anyone who knows facts can easily pick out inconsistencies with claims. In this photos Moni is wearing his green IDF uniform, with a white shirt underneath.
There only 2 issued colours that may be worn under the uniform, white and green. Green is for combat soldiers only. White is for jobniks, or non combat soldiers, they are not allowed to wear green under their uniform. The physical fitness division is a non combat division.
The rest of the photos in the gallery are photos he copied and pasted from
www.isayeret.com, an official web site of the IDF SF units. They are photos of Yamam operatives in training which in every single one of them you can't see the operative's face due to the fact that they are wearing masks and helmets.
Those photos are clearly there for the sole purpose of Moni trying to cause an insinuation that he was in the SF. They don't relate to him, his service, or even the task he held during his service.
This fact also solidifies the fact that Moni was never involved in any war or ambush. He was never a combat soldier so never took part in any wars.
2) He claims to have been Yael Arad's (the Israeli Barcelona Olympics judo silver medalist) Judo coach.
This came as a shock to me when I learned it because I never doubted Moni's credibility in the Judo circle, but at the same time I wasn't shocked because after all it is Moni.
Moni Aizik was Yael Arad's judo coach, when she was a little kid. She branched away from him long before she even started competing and began learning under a new coach who was the one that took her to the Olympics. This is also verifiable through the Israeli Judo Association."
