Krav Maga

Krav Maga: Real World Solutions to Real World Violence presents a no-nonsense approach to neutralising attackers in close quarters. Author Gershon Ben Keren explains the philosophy behind the Krav Maga method, which is the basis of the Israeli military's devastating close combat system. No mere hodgepodge of Krav Maga techniques, this book lays out a systematic approach to self-defense and provides illustrated confrontation scenarios paired with tailored practical responses.

All of the photos in the book were shot in real-time, demonstrating what realistic movements-both from the attacker's and defender's perspective-look like. Where applicable, techniques have been shot in the scenarios in which they occur such as bars, restrooms, ATMs, etc. The situational components of such violent incidents are explained, so the reader can learn to identify, predict, and avoid violence before it occurs.
