Complete Krav Maga: The Ultimate Guide to Over 250 Self-Defense and Combative Techniques

This is a fantastic resource for Krav Maga students. I started studying Krav Maga and Kali about 4 months ago and I purchased this to help me review the Krav Maga techniques I learned in class. It's a phenomenal book; it's very well organized and the pictures, although black and white, are clear and capture the right "moment" when demonstrating a technique. (Having also studied Karate, Aikido, and Judo, I've read a bunch of other books of this type and it always annoys me when the pictures fail to capture the essence of a technique, but luckily that's not the case here). The techniques in the book are organized according to belt or level - I'm probably too new to appreciate it - but I'm sure this would be very helpful to others. The writing is exceptionally clear and to the point. There is a brief introduction but otherwise this gets right into the content. Overall, I think this will be a great resource for me, a worthwhile addition to my library, and I am totally happy with my purchase. I completely recommend this book to you and I hope you find this review helpful. Good luck training!

The book is as described. Informative, techniques clearly explained, and pictures are clear.

Kickin ass and taking names! Okay, so confession time, I've wanted to do Krav Maga for a long time but was a little too intimidated to go into a class without any prior knowledge. I got this as a little pre-birthday gift (because for my birthday I was finally going to get myself Krav Maga classes! Eep!) and I am really happy I had it. I'm a bit of a studier. I like to know about things before they happen; I like to do research. And this was really cool research! The pictures really helped and the descriptions were accessible and fun. I wasn't lost at any point. It was a total coup. A great guide and a great read. I learned so much and feel ready for class number 1!

It's a good start. I definitely recommend this book. Recommendation for the author, with just about every example it needs more pictures, and maybe pictures from different angles. That would probably add to the size of the book. If the book is too large, then break it up into separate books. The spiral bound addition is very nice too.

Helps me in preparing for future belts.

On reality based defense and especially disarming weapons to protect yourself and loved ones and friends and the innocent and good groundfighting moves and stand up situations like wrist grabs bear hugs and hair pulls and etc and the pictures are black and white but good detail I recommend this book if you can't afford martial arts in general

Very thorough book, clear and well-written. The spiral binding makes it easy to lay flat when open.

The ethos of Krav Maga in the first couple of chapters is spot on. I agree with most techniques until Brown Belt with exception of the jump, spinning and high kicks. My opinion is a low kick to the groin, directly into the knee cap, to the side or back of the knee are the only safe, efficient destructive kicks to attempt. Having been stabbed in 2 of 3 REAL knife attacks, knife “disarming” techniques are for John Wick movies. While I think this book is definitely worth having, I would also chose the MCMAP manual (I was a recurring guest instructor at MCRD), and best of all, Kelley McCann’s “Combatives.” Also Rory Miller’s “Meditations on Violence.”

bom produto.

Excelente información . Un muy buen libro . Recomendable

Like an encyclopedia of every possible move. Offence, defence, throws and ground work. It's all there. Good photos, great reference.
