Shuki Drai is a multifaceted defensive tactics, safety, and security specialist with more than 26 years of experience. His journey into the world of defense and protection began with his service in the Israel Defense Force (IDF) where he served in many capacities including Army Trooper and continued as he pursued training in the martial arts. Recognizing that each form of martial arts added to his skill set, he trained and has advanced to the level of the Black Belt in multiple disciplines.
His experience and training in the martial arts allowed him to identify the need for specialized tools for those engaged in defensive and protective tactical operations. By applying his knowledge and creativity, he has designed and produced three specialized tools used worldwide by law enforcement, security, and defensive tactics practitioners. The unique features of his tools have resulted in the issuance of patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
By blending his knowledge of various martial arts, he created the Mixed Defensive Tactics/Street Combat training program. He has provided training to local law enforcement, law enforcement training centers, state and federal agencies, and Fortune 500 companies. In recognition of his contributions to the martial arts, his peers recently honored him as an inductee into the International Martial Arts Hall of Fame in London, the Action Martial Arts Hall of Honors as Esteemed Martial Artist, World Head of Sokeship Council Martial Arts Hall of Fame as Tactical Senior Instructor of the Year, and the Sports Award WOMA Special Office for Martial Arts.

I love this tool.
Working in law enforcement for over 20 years, this is a must have for your gear. It can break a window easily and cut a seatbelt with ease. This needs to be in every car on the road and not just for police cars. It is a practical, light weight tool that can defend you if needed. A tool like this needs to be kept close.
“It is best to be prepared than swift afterwards”
I’m a retired Police Commander with over 40 years of experience in all things tactical. I spent 20 of those years in our prestigious Miami Dade Special Response Team. I thought there was not much left to learn until I had the privilege of training with Sensei Shuki Drai. His approach to using tools to force multiply hand to hand skills is unprecedented. His S.R.T. is a compact, streamlined and ingenious device that offers multiple life saving benefits. It is non-lethal but quite effective at both controlling an adversary or getting you out of dangerous spot. It is a warriors modern day “Swiss Army Knife”. The S.R.T. ultimately allows a user to develop skills that seamlessly translate to unarmed and armed combat yet can easily be concealed and carried on a daily basis. I don’t go anywhere without it.
