Product Description

Every day, innocent people are accosted and assaulted by criminals, many of whom carry weapons. The increasingly popular martial art of Krav Maga offers powerful methods and a direct approach to fighting back. Simplicity, speed and efficiency are the main characteristics of Krav Maga, which was founded for the Israeli armed forces and adopted by many other groups worldwide. This book, written by a police officer who has taught Krav Maga extensively, presents an array of self-defense techniques. Each chapter contains instructions for a different type of defense and is a complete lesson. These include defensive strategies against empty-handed assailants and those with a variety of weapons. The book explains how to protect a companion, a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a child, and even how to get away from a group of assailants. Author Christophe Philippe offers simple, thorough explanations accompanied by full-colour photographic sequences demonstrating the techniques.

Very Basic Better available.1
Very basic offering. Easily bettered by the books by Darren Levine. Iwould invest the money elsewhere, this is one to leave on the shelf. I am a Krav Maga Instructor and do not really rate this book as any kind of study aide.

a revision aid maybe1
This book is very basic. The pictures are detailed and are quite easy to understand. However if you are new to Krav Maga dont bother with this book as I felt it only served as a revision tool for topics above p1, p2. There is no substitute for a real tutor, but if you re after a book to ease you into Krav avoid this. Better books on offer from Levine or D. Khan.
