The Essential Book of Krav Maga

This book compiles 2 previous works into 1: ‘Krav Maga Kicks’ and ‘Advanced Krav Maga’!

Krav Maga is recognized as one of the most efficient fighting systems around today. Based on common sense, it has evolved by necessity in a region ravaged by fighting for over a century. This encyclopedic compilation work recapitulates Krav Maga’s history and principles and covers the opponent’s vulnerable points to be targeted. It then goes on to describe the Strikes, Kicks and Special Techniques commonly used. After covering the Theory of Aggression, it does detail advanced Offensive Techniques including Range Covering, Guard Neutralization and Naturally-flowing Combinations. The main body of the text will then cover Defenses against armed and unarmed opponents. The important last part describes the use of everyday objects as Improvised Weapons.
All along, the book underlines continuously the cardinal Krav Maga principle of "Retzev", with dozens of examples of ‘continuous offensive motion’ until the opponent is fully vanquished.
400 pages, suitable for beginners and trained Martial Artists from other Schools, are crammed to the brim with over 2500 Photos and Illustrations!
