HASHITA      -     history

Hashita is a comparatively young system that grew in the last ca. 50 years. The root can be found in the Judo Survival of Dennis Hanover. Aged six Eli Leffler began his training with him and became one of his best students. Furthermore he trained Karate and some other martial arts and holds several blackbelts.

During his time in the IDF Special Forces and the Israeli Secret Service he faced many situations where the traditional martial arts failes because there were no rules. So with scientific accuracy he started to eliminate all ineffective techniques or changed them.

Together with a team of experienced instructors (all of them Blackbelts in several styles) and veteranes from the special forces he has developed and changed Hashita untill today. His goal is it to adjust the system to the ever-changing situation of life. For example it was necessary to react according to the new situation after 9/11 and to refine Hashita.
