Krav Maga: The Ultimate Beginners Guide To Krav Maga Kindle Edition

I can't remember how I first heard about Krav Maga, but I do remember being immediately fascinated. All martial arts have an appeal to most men and their fighting spirit, but Krav Maga’s draw owes less to the mystique of many of the traditional disciplines and more to a distinct aura of bad-assitude.

It’s a simple and effective street fighting self-defense system that’s more martial than art. A well-trained practitioner of Krav Maga is basically a walking human weapon.

What I discovered is that Krav Maga is a brutally effective tactical mixed martial art and self-defense system that lives up to its reputation.

If you too have ever wondered what Krav Maga is all about, I have written you this primer.

Here is what you will learn in this book


  • Introduction / What is Krav Maga?
  • History of Krav Maga
  • The Principles of Krav Maga
  • Benefits of Learning Krav Maga
  • How To Get Started in Krav Maga
  • Basic Krav Maga Techniques (With Videos)
  • Krav Maga Stances
  • Krav Maga Punches & Strikes
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Punches
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Kicks
  • Krav Maga Knee Techniques
  • Krav Maga How To Fall If Knocked To The Ground
  • Krav Maga Groundwork & Grappling Techniques
  • Krav Maga Ground Fighting Techniques
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Weapons
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Bear Hugs
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Chokes
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Wrist Grabs
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Hair Grabs
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Other Grabs
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Carjackings, Hostage Situations, etc.
  • Krav Maga Defenses Against Multiple Opponents
  • And much more...

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning Krav Maga, a mixed self-defense strategy
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2015

Krav Maga is really a cross breed strategy for self-protection which joins boxing, wrestling, muay thai, kung fu and other hand to hand fighting. It can be rehearsed by all individuals of any age and is powerful technique for shielding oneself from an aggressor. The fascinating part is that it is still broadly utilized by the Israeli police power and militaries around the globe today.

This book has peeled off Krav Maga from the historical backdrop of its utilization, the standards, advantages of learning and how to begin on Krav Maga. Included in this book are some useful features to give more presentations on this self-preservation. This book is thoroughly composed and is educational.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative guide for Krav Maga beginners.
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2015

As a beginner, this book helped me understand Krav Maga better. Aside from its methods, I learned about its history, principle and benefits. I think this type of discipline can be used by anyone to protect themselves from dangerous or threatening situations. Though it went through a lot of evolution, I believe, the essence why Krav Maga was created is still there.

This book is informative and the videos provided by the author were very helpful, I was able to understand Krav Maga basic techniques easily and it saved me time from searching each specific strikes and punches online. Good read and I recommend it to mixed martial arts beginners.

This book was a waste of time and money. It is filled, throughout the book with links for the internet, and no real substance in the book.
If you are looking for a resource for self defense when you are out in the woods or no internet signal you have just gained some
very low quality toilet paper.

So sad!

I bought the digital copy of this to read on my computer. I had read previous reviews where they talk about all the youtube links this book has. This works perfect for when I need to see it while also reading about it. I'm using this as a reference with other Krav Maga books, which I would recommend. I would not recommend this being the only book you buy on the subject though. The more info, the better.

This guide is easy to understand but cover all the basic a beginner in Krav Maga. It covers how krav maga have developed and sustained. The book dosen't only cover the martial art but more than that. It cover how it will help you in other areas of your life as well. When you improve this sport you will get other benefits such as better instincts, self-discipline, health and overall well-being.

This is a good introduction into the basics of this self defense.
What I miss are some pictures and it is not possible to look on the video links from the paper white so this is not to good.

Alos the descriptions are a little bit short.
So may be it would make sense to read this book on an other media like PC or Tablet or something like that.
