I have had the privelage of having Albert assist in the training of our SWAT Team. Albert provided the team with real world experience gained from actually being there.
Albert brought out the best in the team and was the ultimate task master. No detail, no matter how small went unnoticed by him.
Albert is a great instructor who cares about his students. He provides positive quality instruction.

"I have been a firearm instructor in Massachusetts since 1998. I have instructed and preached what I was taught, "The sight picture the officer
should seek whenever shooting is a crystal clear picture of the front sight with the rear sight in view and the target a slightly hazy mass".
After taking KAPAP ACADEMY's Israeli Combat Point Shooting Class I now feel that I have failed as an instructor. All these years I have been
preparing officers to shoot as if they would be entering a competition instead of preparing them for real life combat shooting. I cannot thank
Albert Timen enough for opening my eyes and I urge all officers to take his class. Stay Safe."

Law Enforcement Active Threat Response Training: "Thanks for hosting such a great class. The tactics and training were well thought out, practical, and effective. Albert and Wayne were able to communicate through classroom and hands on training new techniques for handling scenarios such as an active shooter threat. All of the students were enthused about the high level of knowledge and intensity that both Albert and Wayne brought with them. I am looking forward to sharing my newly acquired knowledge with my partners next time we train for such an event. The concepts of the class go so far beyond the active shooter realm, they can be applied to everyday officer safety. KAPAP ACADEMY and NJ-Ops has my recommendation for anyone looking to get some great training!

Regarding the Israeli Combat Point Shooting, I'm now much more confident with my newly issued handgun (Glock 22) that I previously didn't feel comfortable with prior to the class. So much more, I participated in and won a Advanced handgun shooting competition two weeks later, utilizing the techniques and concepts from the ICPS. Thanks again guys!"

“I have taken a number of firearms classes over the past 20 years and ICPS was the best handgun class by far. I was truly amazed and the speed at which my skills progressed during the course and my level of competence at the end of this course. I highly recommend this class if you are looking to improve your real world skills in a course taught by top notch instructors who have real expertise and make safety a priority. You will see measurable results by the end of the course!”

A few months ago I was tasked with setting up a tactical weapons course for my unit. After looking at a few different companies I decided to inquire with ICPS, and I was very impressed.  Albert Timen’s instruction in the field was outstanding. Our particular mission is very unique and the Israeli Combat Point Shooting Method was a very fitting style for us. My team and unit is made up of guys who are in great athletic and mental shape, and even at the level we were at, Albert was able to challenge each and every one of us in many different ways (both physical and mental), this had a huge positive effect on our student learning outcome.   I have never had the confidence that I have now in my issued weapons. Just the short time with Albert Timen has greatly increased the efficiency of my unit and team when dealing with weapons and tactics.

Don’t Forget Da Tilt!

Dear Brian and Albert,

I’ll start off by saying thanks again for this weekend one more time!

Here is a bit more background on my eye condition as well as my perception before and after the course.   I was born with a rare eye condition called congenital nystagmus, which – without going into too much detail – essentially causes a constant, uncontrollable quivering of my pupils. Traditionally individuals born with this condition receive a very poor prognosis; the vast majority dying quickly from a tumor surrounding the optic nerve while another significant population experiences total blindness from birth. Considering the statistics I have been very fortunate, and while I do notice some issues with depth perception and fast moving objects I have been lucky enough to beat most of the odds folks seemed to think were stack against me.

Quite a few people in life, not disparagingly per se, have expected me to face limitations in what I do, and, perhaps not knowingly, tremendously impacted aspects of my self confidence along the way. So, not surprisingly I was hesitant about my ability to participate in martial arts and, frankly, scared to carry a firearm.

KAPAP has changed all of that. While I have moderate experience in martial arts, my experience with both Brian H’s KAPAP Academy Colorado as well as Albert Timen’s KAPAP Academy has completely changed my perspective on what my boundaries may be. Perhaps the key to my success comes from the instruction I have received, but I believe that the simplicity, adaptability, and pragmatic foundation of KAPAP makes it a truly universal solution capable of working for any individual through its grounding in the use of basic body mechanics.

Nowhere has this been more evident for me than in the Israeli Combat Point Shooting system taught by Albert. My experience training with Albert and Brian has completely reshaped my perspective on what I thought was possible. Coming into my first ICPS course I had absolutely no confidence in my ability to handle firearms. My main concern: would I be able to acquire and shoot a target quickly in a life or death situation or would my eyesight cause me to miss the target and, worse yet, hit an innocent bystander?

Two days of KAPAP Academy training with Albert hosted through Brian’s KAPAP Academy Colorado put those fears to rest and more. On the first day our class learned that simple body mechanics driven by gross motor skills set the foundation for this system. Utilizing large groups of muscles for simple but effective movements eliminates the need for complex process that simply won’t work under pressure. After drilling fundamentals for just a few hours I was able to acquire a target, fire, and hit the target – multiple times! As our class slowly built upon our foundation of fundamentals, our skill and speed built. I started the second day with confidence that had grown tenfold; I couldn’t believe the progress I had made. As we continued to build our skills and speed throughout our second day we were able to test our abilities under pressure and discovered that stress actually increased our performance. With a heart rate of 150 I was able to acquire a target, draw my weapon, and group 10 shots – tightly in center mass – in less than 4 seconds.

While I may not have been the best in our class, I found that my eye condition caused no limitations whatsoever. The reliability of this system exists in its results, and the results were astounding. Albert mentioned he could teach a blind man to shoot; in the case of this system he has. While I still have much to learn, these days I feel fully confident in my ability to safely carry a firearm and even more so in my ability to perform – exceptionally – when seconds count and lives may hang in the balance. I look forward to continuing my skill building through KAPAP Academy Colorado’s regular ICPS and IFFC (Israeli Face to Face Combat) curriculum.

I would strongly recommend this course as a must-have for any responsible citizen looking to carry concealed. Regardless of body type, skill level, or even most disabilities, Albert will not only teach him/her to shoot and shoot well, but also instill a sense of confidence in his/her own abilities, shooting or otherwise, just as he has for me.

Sincerely,

Mike P.” – August 16, 2011
