Short and long range Israeli martial arts

Posted on September 25, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Tavor for the long range. Krav Maga for the short. I suppose the Glock would be for the medium, or when long guns would be inexpedient in confined spaces. Neat Kydex by Raven Concealment.

Neither predator nor prey.
