Throughout the day, participants moved through intensive modules, learning realistic and effective techniques in an atmosphere that was both focused and friendly. The level of instruction, the precision of the explanations, and Patrick Bittan’s energy left a lasting impression on everyone.
Testimonials
Sophie, 30 – Nurse:
“I had already taken a few self-defense classes before, but this was on a whole different level. I learned practical, easy-to-remember techniques that I can use right away. Patrick Bittan is impressive, but above all, very approachable. He gave me back my confidence. This seminar was a real turning point! I’ll definitely be back.”
Julien, 45 – Entrepreneur:
“I’ve been training in martial arts for 10 years, and I thought I had seen it all. But this seminar blew me away! Patrick’s approach is incredibly comprehensive, smart, and above all, grounded in real-life situations. In one day, I learned more than in several months of regular training. A total game-changer—in the best possible way!”

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.
