Connect with me on LinkedIn
Dai-Sifu Ingo Weigel is the author of “SELF-DEFENSE FOR MODERN TIMES”, the first book on Revat, an innovative fitness, martial art and self-defense program for busy adults living in an urban environment.
Born in Russia and growing up in former East Germany, martial arts were limited and controlled by the iron fist of the communist government. Weigel, a former law enforcement officer, always had an interest in learning martial arts to protect himself. When the wall came down in 1989, Weigel had the opportunity to learn from the best martial arts instructors and train with the finest practitioners. Weigel gratefully accepted and devoted all his time to the study of martial arts.
Born in Russia and growing up in former East Germany, martial arts were limited and controlled by the iron fist of the communist government.

When the wall came down in 1989, Weigel had the opportunity to learn from the best martial arts instructors and train with the finest practitioners. Weigel gratefully accepted and devoted all his time to the study of martial arts.
He discovered that much of today's martial arts training focuses only on the physical level and therefore is missing some very important elements. Neglecting these elements is one of the reason why most adults are not able to benefit from martial arts training. After many years of study, trial and error Revat was born. Revat is a highly effective self-defense system and based on principles that can easily be applied to one’s height and fitness level. Weigel created a comprehensive teaching curriculum to assure every student can learn and understand self-defense.
Revat is the missing link to real Personal Safety for busy adults living and working in an urban environment because it enables men and women to really protect themselves against attacks in different situations. People who have gone through the program agree that it is one of the most effective self-defense systems. It also can compliment other martial arts training due to its unique focus on tactile reflexes.
