Moni Aizik is the founder and chief instructor of Combat Survival, Commando Krav Maga (CKM), Total Officer Protection (TOP) Law Enforcement Program, smartsafe: Women's Self-Empowerment System, WIN! Real Life Skills for Kids, and Elite Combat Fitness.
Israel
At the age of 8, under Opa Schutte, Aizik started training in judo and jujutsu. In his late teens he joined the Israeli military, where due to his value as a national judo competitor, he was assigned as a physical fitness instructor.
In an interview with WR Mann, Aizik claims he was asked shortly after the Yom Kippur War to improve upon the army's existing hand-to-hand combat system. With his knowledge of martial arts including various Israeli fighting systems, jujitsu and judo, Aizik claims he was asked to develop a more effective combat program specifically designed for certain Special forces. Aizik claims to have collaborated with Imi Lichtenfeld in 1973–1974, which is ten years after Lichtenfeld retired. Moni later stated that he "only met Imi Lichtenfeld once" in a taped recording. He further stated that he and IMI "agreed to disagree" about his system. His admission contradicted almost all of his prior claims, advertising and interviews.
After his duty in the military, he traveled often to Japan to study with judo and sambo champions Isao Okano and Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki. His club in Israel, Maccabi Tel Aviv, became recognized as one of the top training centers in the country, with many students training in CKM, judo and jujitsu. Some of Aizik’s Israeli students include Avi Nardia, a Kapap instructor, and Yael Arad, Israel’s first Olympic and World medalist in judo.
North America
Moving to North America in the 1980s, Aizik started teaching CKM at the Jewish Community Center in Toronto. He later established the Samurai Club. Some of Aizik’s students include former UFC Champion Carlos Newton, Japanese Shooto star Joel Gerson and UFC Fighter Mark Bocek.
In recent years, Aizik has focused primarily on expanding his Reality-based self-defense Commando Krav Maga, spending almost all of his time conducting seminars and CKM Instructor courses.
Controversial claims assessment
On October 28, 2008, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA: the self-regulatory organisation of the advertising industry in the United Kingdom) gave an assessment concerning Azik's claims about his military duty.
The Central London School of Krav Maga challenged the claims in the advertising of Commando Krav Maga that Azik was an "Ex-Israeli Special Forces Commando" and a "Counter Terrorism Expert". The British Code of Advertising Practice clause 3.1 states that advertisers must hold evidence before making claims.
Commando Krav Maga said that Azik's military experience and counter terrorism expertise were considered classified by the Israeli military. Commando Krav Maga claimed that making the information public would break the military code of conduct.
The ASA assessed that the ad breached CAP Code clauses 3.1 (Substantiation) and 7.1 (Truthfulness). It directed that ad must not appear in its current form and that Commando Krav Maga must not repeat the claims.
