Daniel Elyashiv was born in the capital city of Tajikistan on September 1st, 1985. His family immigrated to Israel on April, 1991. In July 2003, Daniel was recruited into the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) Air Force Flight Academy. Always fascinated in martial arts and combat techniques, Daniel changed course and joined the Special Forces of the IDF. His unit, “Sayeret Yael” is the elite counter-sabotage unit of the Engineering Corps.

As part of the extensive trainings at the special unit, Daniel was particularly drawn to the art of counter terrorism and Krav Maga. On July 2005 Daniel was certified as a Krav Maga Instructor at Israel's Wingate Institute. Furthering his education, Daniel then joined the CTS (Counter Terrorism School) Combat Course for accreditation as a Counter Terrorism Instructor. After certification, Daniel returned to his army unit in the IDF and was now appointed to take charge of the Counter Terrorism Division.

Daniel's main concerns were about safety and creating a new, unique and highly motivational training approach for his unit. He managed to create a higher level of soldiers with massive knowledge in Krav Maga methods and combining other martial arts techniques as Kung Fu, Jeat Kuan Du, Brazillian Jui Jitsu, Thai Quan Du and Judo. Known particularly for his ability to simulate real life threatening conditions, Daniel Elyashiv created a system that is as close as possible to reality in order to test the soldier’s ability to initiate responses under pressure. Those methods are being taught today in his gym in Brooklyn, New York - founded 2 years ago as “KRAV MAGA CRASH BOOT CAMP” or online at www.kravmagacrash.com

Dedicated to teaching his students pure Self Defense Krav Maga techniques with the idea of “Minimum Movements, Maximum Damage”, his students range in age between 4 and 75 and are a living example of how exceptional instruction can change lives. “Krav Maga Crash Boot Camp “started as a small group of dedicated students training outdoors in all weather conditions in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn New York. The lessons were focused on simulating real attacks and getting into the best physical shape. Today the classes are given indoors and are conveniently located in the heart of Brooklyn.
