Shamim Ashrafi

Shamim's story is one of the most compelling at Point Blank. After a decade of minimal physical activity due to the demands of family life and work, she took a bold step and attended her first class. What started as a once-a-week commitment grew into training five days a week — as both a dedicated student and a committed instructor.

She earned her Instructor credentials at Point Blank in 2024. In 2025 she became an Internationally Recognized Israeli Certified IKF-Mador Krav Maga Instructor under Amit Himelstein.

Shamim plays a vital role in guiding students of all ages and is especially committed to the youngest members of the community. She leads the Little Dragons program for children aged seven and under, helping them build confidence, discipline and foundational self-defense skills from the ground up.

What makes Shamim's approach unique is her background beyond martial arts. She is a certified Reiki Master and yoga instructor, and she integrates mindfulness, breath control and balance into her teaching — fostering both physical and mental resilience in her students. Her qualifications in First Aid, CPR-C and AED certification further reflect her deep commitment to the safety and wellbeing of everyone she trains.

Shamim's journey from complete beginner to certified international instructor is a testament to what is possible when someone commits fully to the process. She brings that lived experience into every class she teaches.
