Introduction

Violence is a harsh reality in contemporary society, and terrorism is everyone’s problem. Americans traveling abroad are vulnerable "soft" targets for terrorists and criminals. Whether you are concerned about being abducted by a stalker, being kidnapped by terrorists, or held at gunpoint during a robbery, you must be specifically trained in order to survive. Knowing what to do (and what you should never do) if you are taken hostage could mean the difference between life and death.

In Israel, where terrorism has been a serious concern for more than fifty years, terrorism survival is a solvent issue. Israeli diplomats, business executives and travelers are regularly updated on the threat of terrorism and specifically trained in kidnapping countermeasures.

Our Terrorism Survival course teaches how to plan preventive strategies and implement practical security measures while on travel. Illustration of risk scenarios and responses for personal safety are explicitly addressed in a no nonsense format.
