Product Description
Developed for the Israel military forces and battle tested in real-life combat, Krav Maga has gained an international reputation as an easy-to-learn yet highly effective art of self-defense. Clearly written and extensively illustrated,
Complete Krav Maga details every aspect of the system including dozens of hand-to-hand combat moves, over twenty weapons defense techniques and a complete physical conditioning workout program.
All the moves are described in depth from beginning Yellow Belt to advanced Black Belt, yet they are easy to learn because one of Krav Maga's strengths is its simplicity. Based on the principle that it is best to move from defense to attack as quickly as possible,
Complete Krav Maga offers fast-escape maneuvers from attacks and holds. It then follows them up with specific counterattacks, including punches, kicks and throws.
The authors show how anyone (big or small, man or woman) can practice self defense by using Krav Maga to protect weak spots, exploit an assailant's vulnerabilities and turn the attacker’s force against him.
Complete Krav Maga teaches the reader how to get in shape, gain confidence and feel safer and more secure every day.
Reader ReviewsThis book is amazing. You will see that a lot of thought and work went into making this book. The self-defense techniques are grouped by belt levels in a graduated learning approach. This book is about self-defense techniques (not so much about street, war or sport fighting). The emphasis is on defend, counter, and escape. Each of the techniques are described in detail and illustrated with 3 to 5 pictures. This book is so well written and illustrated that it is like a text book for a class. I highly recommend getting this book if you are interested in self-defense.
