Moni Aizik
I met Moni Aizik a few months ago but have heard about him for some time now. Everyone who knows him praises him highly and deeply respects the man as a person and as an accomplished fighter and trainer. Moni is also an accomplished pianist and has played the classics and contemporary music for 12 years now. In addition he is also an artist painting in oils and a skillful chess player. Moni lives in Toronto, but visits his family in New York quite frequently and that gave me the perfect opportunity for this interview.
Realfighting: You're in your early fifties, but you look like someone in their early thirties, shape wise, how do you do it?
Moni Issac: I developed a unique military-style training routine which I do two and a half hours daily, it includes: an hour of calisthenics (bodyweight exercises) I try to beat my records daily. I run hills with a 40lb. backpack for 90 minutes each day, six days a week, and I also do combat fighting drills with some of my advanced students.
RF: You're an ex-Israeli commando, were you involved in any of the wars?
Moni: Yes, I was in the Yom Kippurim war in 1973
RF: What were your duties?

Moni: Yes, we were ambushed by over one thousand Syrians; there were only 64 of us in our unit, and only six of us survived
RF: Where did that occur?
Moni: In the Golan Heights
RF: I presume your unit was dissolved after that, what was your next assignment?
Moni: Yes, it was dissolved. The next assignment the army gave me was to develop krav maga a little more -- to take it to the next level.
