OUR STORY

This self-defense cap is a HANOVER TOOLBOX product which was created by a rare collaboration between three professional independent enterprises. All well-known leaders in their specific line of expertise. FAB-Defense® well experienced development team, product designer Dov Ganchrow and martial arts expert Yaron Hanover.

The unique product line is designed to insure that you will never be caught empty handed.

Yaron is a career martial artist, a grandmaster and a two-decade national champion in full-contact fighting and self-defense. Dov is a product designer, academic and former national taekwondo champion, who has trained under Yaron.

Several years ago, after a long training session, Dov Ganchrow & Yaron Hanover debated self-defense scenarios and thought to themselves that there is something missing in many unexpected situations. Most self- defense tools, as good they may be, are often not around when you actually need them, leaving you to fend with your hands alone.

In order to solve this issue, and regardless of the belief people should train to defend themselves. A self- defense tool has to be something that will be with you everywhere, all the time, without feeling like a burden. And so the Gotcha Cap concept was born.
