Eamonn Shaughnessy successfully examined for his Instructor Certificate of the Krav Maga Law Enforcement Syllabus

Chief Instructor of Krav Maga West, Eamonn Shaughnessy, recently travelled to Budapest where he was successfully examined for his Instructor Certificate of the Krav Maga Law Enforcement Syllabus.
Already well known for his instructional ability within the Krav Maga Civilian Syllabus, Shaughnessy has become the first person in Ireland to qualify to teach the Law Enforcement section of this practical self protection system, and a delighted Shaughnessy told us:
“I was delighted to bring Krav Maga to the West of Ireland three years ago, and to be the first person to bring the Law Enforcement Syllabus to Ireland is a major step forward for me. “I hope to provide all those interested in learning about personal protection, and self protection for law enforcement officers, with an opportunity to experience a system which I personally feel is simple, practical and enjoyable to learn.”
Krav Maga itself, is a modern self defence system, made famous by Jennifer Lopez in her film ‘Enough’. It was developed by Mr. Imi Sid’Or from his experiences fighting Nazi persecution. He further developed and refined the system when he became the hand to hand instructor for the Israeli army after the creation of the Israeli state.
Taught using the Ramp method of learning, Krav Maga is recognised as one of the most practical self defence systems in the World today. Using the body’s natural reaction to aggressive situations, Krav Maga looks to deal in the most efficient, and effective way against both unarmed and armed attacks.
The Law Enforcement Syllabus of Krav Maga is exactly what it says. It looks at Self Protection for individuals involved in any security or law enforcement situation, where the risks are heightened. Using simplistic, realistic training, the Law Enforcement Syllabus teaches you to be aware of potential situations, and where necessary how to bring situations under control and aggressors to the arrest position.
Martin O’Malley, Chairman of the Mayo Martial Arts Association said that with Eamonn being the only person in Ireland with the Law Enforcement Instructor qualification it gives yet another boost to Martial Arts in County Mayo.
