Learn Krav Maga | Reality Based Self Defense

Krav Maga was developed in Hungary and Czechoslovakia in the 1930s by Imi Lichtenfeld. He first developed it as a means to help protect the Jews during the Second World War. Later Imi's methods were adopted by the Israeli militaryForce. Imi served in the IDF for 15 years, during which time he continued to develop and refine his hand-to-hand combat method. Today Krav Maga is still the standard unarmed combat method being used today in the Israeli military.

Imi's background was in wrestling, boxing, and weight lifting. Later when he developed Krav Maga with the assistance of others he would incorporate the best and most effective techniques from many of the martial arts, into a no-nonsense self defense system that could be taught quickly and effectively.

You no longer have to travel to L.A. or the "Big Apple" to get a taste of the increasingly popular self defense and fitness method called Krav Maga. This new book gives you some valuable tips on how to protect yourself on today's mean streets from armed attackers. And its written by the late creator of the system and one of his students- who happens to be the head of one of the major Krav Maga organizations! I liked this book because of its no nonsense approach to personal protection- from safety in training to getting mentally tough. Other books I thought were in the same league are "The Close-Combat Files of Colonel Rex Applegate" by Applegate and Melson; "Krav Maga for Klutzes" by the Personal Shield Foundation; "U.S. Marines Close Combat Manual" from Paladin Press.

Krav Maga is such an effective self defense system because it strips away all the in-effective approaches to combat associated with learning a traditional martial arts system. There are no Kata's to learn, no forms no Dojo rules, instead Krav Maga Focuses on what works on the streets. It teaches practical no nonsense methods to help anyone regardless or size or sex deal with a violent attack on the streets.

Even MMA martial arts systems and grappling arts are designed today more for the ring then actually out in the streets. watch any UFC fight and you'll know what I mean. Sure you see these grapplers on the ground rolling around, trying for submission holds, but in the street these are rarely effective. Why because you will often have to deal with multiple opponents.

Take a guy down on the street and roll around on the ground while you try and get him in an armbar or a submission hold and very quickly you'll be dealing with stomps to your head from your attackers friends, not a good situation.

Instead Krav Maga helps teach you, how to deal with any threat in an effective manner and actually trains you for multiple attacking opponents, Something very few other martial systems ever even get into. That is why when you learn Krav Maga, you will be teaching yourself the best way to deal with any violent situation fast and effectively.

Advanced Krav Maga is a "No Rules" approach to those that may threaten your life is something that has helped me in quite a few situations, especially since I run a bar in New York City that can occasionally get rowdy. I have also learned how to restrain aggressive people in the most efficient & effective ways without doing any serious damage, but having the power and control to do so in a heartbeat if I felt my life was suddenly threatened. Being a former student of Praying Mantis Kung Fu & loving it, I feel that I have taken my martial arts training to the next level with David kahn's books. This book can definitely be used for fitness, but I find it's the most effective for those that may find themselves in dangerous situations.
