Robb Hamic Publishes the Truth on his Blogs

Austin, TX, August 31, 2010 -- Robb Hamic is the publisher of this blog. He appreciates the opportunity to present this information to the martial arts community. Who is he and why do he do this? These are common questions for him. He has become a controversial person as he started this blog but time has proven most of the things that he has represented on this forum. There are some issues that have not gained full exposure yet but the blog goes on. At first people resisted this forum but now it seems to be embraced by tens of thousands of visitors daily from across the globe.

Robb Hamic gained his investigative experience as a Sheriff's Deputy and Detective. He became licensed as a private investigator in 1999 and started his own firm. The firm grew and he became licensed in several states in the United States and carried out a variety of investigations in the beginning of his career in private business. Robb concentrated early on with surveillance and counter-surveillance for individuals. He gained a quick skill set in corporate investigation and intelligence. He learned how to uncover facts about companies and entities, especially the facts that the owners didn't want disclosed. These skills transferred to the private sector and he continued to develop the specialized ability to find out everything about a person. He had setbacks including bad key employees that stole money and caused problems in his business. Hamic learned the value of knowing how to expose people for the truth and cultivated many tactics to his advantage. Over the years, he rolled out this service to his clients. After all, the truth is the truth.

Robb Hamic started his career in law enforcement training in 2003 after one of his employees and friend was killed in the line of duty. He decided that he needed to train his growing staff in-house and became determined to teach all areas of law enforcement operations, weapons and methodologies. He learned ground fighting from Tom Vaughan of FIT NHB, in Albuquerque, and had the opportunity to train with several professional MMA fighters and continues his friendships with many fighters in the MMA industry. He had several articles published in the American Society of Law Enforcement Trainer's (ASLET) Magazine about ground fighting in 2003-2004. Robb always specialized in gun training and fighting.

In early 2008 he started training with Mike Kanarek. Mike claimed to be something that he wasn't and Hamic quit Kanarek's system after becoming certified in five different areas that Kanarek offered certification. "I trained with Kanarek as much as I could because I thought he was the real deal and I was drawn to israeli self defense," says Hamic. "Mike was a masochist and had the biggest ego of anyone I have ever been around. I remember the first class. He said everyone must take three full contact shots from him. He made good on his promises to the twenty or so people in the class and continued this progression for the additional certifications that I engaged in, he said." Robb Hamic quit Kanarek's system amid his accusation of Kanarek, Haganah and Randy Proto's fraud. He started this blog and later sued them in Broward County Florida Court. The litigation is ongoing. Hamic has field for a default judgement at this time as the parties have not answered his complaint. The hearing is pending.

Hamic continued to write for law enforcement training publications including the International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors (IAELFI) Magazine. His material has been published in this magazine three times 2009-2010. Robb trained extensively with Tony Blauer of Blauer Tactical Systems™ and Rob Pincus of Combat Focus Shooting™.

Unfortunately, Robb got mixed up with Moni Aizik and his fraudulent system of CKM. "I read Black Belt Magazine and I saw that Aizik was on the cover, in articles and featured on the Military and History Channel. I thought I couldn't go wrong," he says. He was wrong. Aizik turned out to be a fraud too. He uncovered these facts as CKM's Regional Managers were questioning Aizik's authenticity and military claims, which mostly turned out to be false. Hamic joined forces with Industry leader David Kahn, Chief US Israeli Krav Maga Association Black Belt and Instructor, Moni's long time studnet and former business partner Joel Gerson and former IDF counter-terror krav maga instructor to sue. They filed and served a class action lawsuit Against Aizik and his parent company Combat Survival last week, again suing in Florida Court. Robb continues to blog and get publicity on his efforts to expose corruption. Read an interesting article in the Santa Fe

Reporter entitled "DICK!" yes, it is about Robb.

In the meantime Hamic continued blogging. The Fake Self Defense Instructor Blog grew in popularity pretty quickly because of all of the information being uncovered by Hamic and the contributors to the blog. Robb says, "There had been a void of information and accountability in the martial arts industry. People were afraid to use their real names and people resisted hearing negative information even though it was truthful. I decided to hit it head on." In the process, Robb continued to train military law, enforcement, men and especially women in fighting, gun deployment and concealed carry licensing in 39 US states. He continued private investigation and intelligence gathering. He found time to write a book that has now been published and distributed world-wide. The book, Karma's Helpers, teaches people to do just as the title suggests. It also happens that this is Robb's specialty. He combines his unique ability to investigate people, find information/intelligence and disseminate the truth to the world on any topic using the most advanced methods for 2010. Read the book and you can master his craft.

Robb continued his quest to find the truth in fighting and it lead him to Netanya Israel. He spent almost a month in Israel this summer and trained under Israeli Krav Maga Association's Grand Master Haim Gidon and one of its most senior instructor's Yigal Arbiv. "The training was hard. It caused me to question most of what I had been taught previously in life about fighting but I learned the truth," he says. Robb earned his full instructor's diploma and he has come back to Austin Texas and is founding some clubs teaching Israeli Krav Maga in the area. "I am combining my teaching or Israeli Krav Maga and gun deployment and self defense in a Regional training facility. I am building a tactical firearms facility during the first of the year 2011 to bring gun deployment, carbine/ assault weapon, full-auto machine gun and scenario based training to my clients and law enforcement in Austin Texas," he says. He is planning to bring people, agencies and units to his location instead of traveling so much next year. He continues to instruct at several shooting ranges and has out of the country contracts but is committed to bringing more training into Texas.

Why does he do this? It is not simple and it is risky. He receives death threats and is involved in assembling evidence and information for criminal prosecution against several of the targets of this blog. Is there risk? Yes. Robb takes on risk with his other work and feels that it is his duty to do what he can to right this wrong in the best possible way. Simply, people need to pay. Fraud needs to stop.

Robb Hamic has assembled many industry experts spanning different martial arts to form a coalition of Israeli and non-israeli martial artists industry experts. They are going to make a concerted effort to change the reality of truth in advertising, editorial guidelines background checking for credentials and criminal records for instructors and hopefully do some responsible self-policing of the self defense industry. Robb has formed a third party credoentialling process and is launching a new blog soon with information to aid consumers in their decisions of systems and instructors. Bear in mind that this is a coalition of organizations and ethical instructors, not just IKMA Krav Maga instructors. It will be a credible force to be reckoned with and hopefully stand for the greater good of all martial arts. We have high hopes.

If you like or hate Robb Hamic he is unshaken in his efforts, meets like-minded friends and partners weekly and is receiving broad-based support while still doing everything his won name. He stands on his word. Good luck to you. Please get involved. This is a movement.
