Grandmaster Yehoshua Sofer is a very well kept secret. He is known and discussed in higher circles of the martial arts, military, law enforcement, and intelligence communities in Israel and elsewhere in the world with much respect. He holds 7th Degree black belts in Korean Kuk Sool Won, Hapkido and a 6th Degree black belt in TukGong Musool (designed for elite military and intelligence agents in S.Korea) and has a very wide range of diverse expertise in various aspects of "cold" combat that few come close to matching. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of his background is his knowledge of Native Israelite Warrior Arts secretly kept alive in bits and pieces by some of the world's most hidden ancient Jewish communities. These techniques were those used by his Israelite ancestors and this is documented in The Torah.
It would simply not be fair to compare other people to him because he has 42 years in martial arts training although he is just 45 years old. His physical skill is not overshadowed by his experience and knowledge. But his ability to take people with little or no combat background and transform them into formidable fighting proponents in a very short time frame is what perhaps separates him from all others.
He has several world leaders' personal protection/security personnel under his instruction and guidance from the President of Moldova to the Prime-Minister of Israel. He often oversees high profile events from behind the scenes.
Sofer is a Hasidic Jew which is another factor that makes him totally unique in his field. He simply does not look like a martial artist capable of neutralizing people twice his size instantly with pain compliance techniques. More>>
