About Us

OUR MISSION

LO ANI is a Jewish sports club dedicated to self-defense training. While we are a Jewish club, we welcome all the Righteous Among Nations who would like to join us for some self defense training which will include Aikido, Krav Maga at a local facility or firearms training at an indoor or outdoor range with instructors and safety officers to ensure a safe and informative classes. We meet on the average once-a-month either at one of the shooting ranges in the Philadelphia area, or at a training facility, where you will learn techniques of self defense and firearms training. Qualified instructors always on hand to help us. There will be mixed and separate classes for men and women.

GUNS N' MOSES & GLOCKS N' BAGELS CLUB

GUNS N' MOSES, our Sunday morning club for beginners meets for our GLOCKS N' BAGELS program on Sunday mornings. The agenda for our meetings is usually as follows:

We meet early Sunday mornings, before a range opens for the general public. For those who are religiously inclined, the meeting starts with a prayer at 7am. At 7:30am we have stereotypical Jewish breakfast of bagels, cream cheese, lox doughnuts, coffee etc. Everything is kosher. The breakfast is often accompanied by some presentation by a guest speaker. At around 8am we start shooting/training until 10am, before the range opens for the general public.

FIREARM CLUB MEETINGS

The cost for each GLOCKS N' BAGELS range event is $30. That covers the food, the lane rental and one firearm rental, as well as eyes and ears protection. Ammo has to be purchased separately. Of course, participants are welcome to bring their own firearms, ammo, targets and protection. The rental gun is still included, if desired.

If you never fired a firearm, don’t worry. First time shooters will have an introduction to firearms in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere by experienced firearms instructors.
