Cottonwood Combat, owned and operated by Tim Hillis, was featured in Martial Arts Experts Magazine - a product of In-Tys Media Group. This magazine is reported to be the leader in its industry for Canada.
Mr. Hillis was very happy to give the world a new look at Krav Maga as taught by Israeli Krav International (IKI). The evolution Krav Maga is exploding as people recognize the tactical soundness of not only the techniques, but the bio-mechanical science behind them (a phrase first coined by IKI president Itay Gil). With the combined experieince training Sayeret Duvdevan, YAMAM, the Israeli Presidential Security staff, the Israeli Prison Service, elite security personnel working throughout old city Jerusalem and etc. Moshe Katz and Itay Gil have developed a Krav Maga for the 21st century. Taking into consideration collateral damage, ease of use against skilled opponents and while under extreme stress, IKI Krav Maga can and does work for any body-type against a myriad of threats not before considered in most Krav Maga programs. What if a person finds themselves in an airliner and needing to disarm an gun wielding attacker? Using the older methods, every person opposite the dead side of the weapon will be muzzled by the gun. Not so with IKI Krav Maga, the gun is immediately redirected downward – no one gets muzzled except the bad guy as you complete the bio-mechanically correct disarm.
