Review of Krav Maga

I recently purchase this product. After 26 years of continuos martial arts practice I was suitably impressed with the vast array of material this book covered. Krav Maga's reputation world wide is highly regarded as a practical, effective, no-nonsense martial art devised by the late Imi Lichtenfeld. The system has evolved into a total reality based form of unarmed combat. Anybody who is interested in a quick, easy to learn, system of self-preservation would be wise to purchase and read this book. The book is well laid out, easy to understand and full of clear concise instructional photos. I highly recomend this book to any would-be martial arts practitioner or the average lay person jsut starting out.

Impressive & Useful

With hundreds of excellent photographs, COMPLETE KRAV MAGA provides readers with clear explanations of Krav Maga techniques. I teach Krav, and have already made regular use of this book as a handy reference. For the 12 years I've trained in Krav, I've hoped for a book just like this to come out. John Whitman and Darren Levine have done a terrific job in organizing and presenting a wide range of material in a format that is both user-friendly and in-depth.

One of the best books.for self defense

This 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.

I've been waiting for this book approximately four months and will say it was worth the wait. Great foreword by Bas Rutten. Great two-page intro titled "What is Krav maga?". This book offers very easy to comprehend directions for those of us that are new at krav maga. I've seen some martial arts books that contain awful photography but the photos in this book are done very, very well. Thank you

Outstanding!

I was able to get a copy of this book last weekend and WOW, it's even more detailed than I thought. I have been involved in the Martial Arts for 30 years now (since I was a kid) and I must say that not only is this book easy to follow and learn from, it includes great "Tips" for training and I must say is factually and pictorially on-the-money accurate! For a comprehensive guide, it's laid out easily for the beginner to follow through from start to finish. DON'T try to skip through to higher level techniques, the text refers to lower level stuff that you need to know before trying the harder ones...just like Krav Maga is taught on the training floor. I have a deep understanding of Krav Maga as I've been training in it for the last 10 years, and this book lays out the techniques exactly as they should be done. The pictures are taken from great angles too and show really good progressions. Thank you Darren and John and Krav Maga Worldwide for putting this book out to help all students of Krav Maga better "Walk In Peace".
