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 20 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.

Great student hand book:
This is a great supplement to any student that is taking Krav Maga. Its impossible to get "it" all in class and having something to use as a manual at home is an asset to your training. Most instructors I have talked to also have this book and it covers a lot of what is in the instructors manual. its not all the trade secrets mind you but trimmed down and explained in a way that is perfect for the student in question. Just getting in to Krav Maga? Current student that is looking for a supplement... more info
Complete Krav Maga: The Ultimate Guide to Over 200 Self-Defense and Combative Techniques:
A must for anyone training under a licensed and certified Krav Maga instructor. It allows you to review and practice the techniques on off-training days. It is also The official guide of Krav Maga Worldwide, I trust it better than the other guides.
A Fat Lawyer from LA teaching Krav Maga?:
OK, so this is written by a fat lawyer from LA who claims to be the Krav Maga expert? Hmmmmmm, I don't think so....
Dangerous at best is the best description of this book....
I am fortunate to know some VERY deadly special forces guys from Israel AND the U.S. and they all say David Kahn is the actual expert on the subject and I must agree having read books from Levine AND Kahn...
Don't waste your money on this book!
Very good resource:
I teach for a different Krav Maga organisation so read this with some interest. I have to say, most of my own students have this and use it. A good buy, well illustrated and a gtreat effort by Mr Levine et al. If you cant get to an instructor, this is a great start.
