Patrick Bittan Officially Recognized as a Pioneer of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Israel
My name is Patrick Bittan, 6th dan in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In 2001, I was the first to introduce Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Israel, at a time when Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was the main topic of discussion. My goal was clear: to develop a network of schools, train qualified instructors, and integrate self-defense techniques into security institutions—police, military, and the private sector.
Thanks to my experience, determination, and passion, I was fortunate enough to be able to realize this vision.
On May 6, 2025, the Israeli Jiu-Jitsu Federation officially awarded me the Diploma of Pioneer of Jiu-Jitsu in Israel, recognizing my long-standing commitment, hard work, and founding contribution to the development of this art in the country.
This recognition means a lot to me. It symbolizes not only a personal journey, but also the evolution of a martial art that today is an integral part of the training of many security professionals in Israel.
We now have national coaches, a structured national team, international-level competitors, and world champions emerging from this dynamic.
Thank you to National Coach Amir for opening his doors @amir_boaron and thank you to the Federation for trusting me @israeli_jiujitsu_federation

Children’s Training Camp: Competition Preparation
Saturdays, May 10, 17, 24, and 31, 2025 — from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Price: €50 for 4 sessions
At Bittan Academy Marbella, we believe that commitment and perseverance are the keys to progress. Given the enthusiasm and growing level of our youngsters, we have decided to hold a specific training camp for children in May. The objective is clear: to offer them a structured framework to effectively prepare for upcoming competitions.
This complementary program will allow children to strengthen their technique, improve their physical condition, and better understand combat strategies in real-life situations. These complementary training sessions also aim to establish team dynamics, develop self-confidence, and a love of effort.
This camp is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to deepen their practice and surpass themselves in a caring yet demanding environment. It’s open even to children who don’t want to compete right now, but who want to excel.
Together, let’s prepare our young champions to give their best on the mat!

Mixed Tactical Pen Training with Master Patrick Bittan
Sunday, April 13 – Krav Maga Alsace
This Sunday, April 13, around fifty participants gathered at Krav Maga Alsace to take part in an exceptional Mixed Tactical Pen training session, led by Master Patrick Bittan.
In an increasingly unpredictable world, it is becoming essential for civilians to have access to simple, discreet, effective—and legal—defense tools. The Tactical Pen is a perfect example. Easy to carry, authorized everywhere, it can make all the difference in the event of an attack or threat.
Why is this training necessary all over the world?
Because it allows anyone, man or woman, athletic or not, young or old, to learn how to defend themselves with an everyday tool. In just a few hours, everyone leaves with simple, instinctive actions they can apply in stressful situations. This is common-sense training, modern and adapted to today’s realities.
The success of this course in Alsace, bringing together people from all walks of life, demonstrates the growing interest in this type of training. The message is clear: security should not be a privilege, but a universal skill.
You too can get trained.
Whether you’re a parent, student, professional, or work in security, this course is for you. Learn to defend yourself intelligently, with realistic techniques that can be applied immediately, anywhere.
Upcoming dates coming soon... Stay tuned.
