Complete Krav Maga: The Ultimate Guide to Over 250 Self-Defense and Combative Techniques Paperback – September 17, 2022

The media could not be loaded. This book was in a brand new condition. No marks on any of the pages. I will definitely be using them again. The money they saved me was awesome.

On reality based defense and especially disarming weapons to protect yourself and loved ones and friends and the innocent and good groundfighting moves and stand up situations like wrist grabs bear hugs and hair pulls and etc and the pictures are black and white but good detail I recommend this book if you can't afford martial arts in general

This is a very helpful reference for belt test preparation and reviewing technique learned in class. I wouldn't try to learn Krav from this book alone, but it's certainly a useful study aid.

First of all, let me say that this is a five star book. The reason this review gives it four stars is because the second edition did not add much new content from the first, and it all contained in another of Levine's books, which is titled something along the lines of 'Black Belt Krav Maga Techniques'. Regardless, this is an amazing reference book for Krav Maga. The photos capture the essence of each technique, and the written descriptions are clear, concise, and informative. The book is organized by belt level, then further divided by situation, so navigating to where you want to get to is easy. The index is also appreciated, since this book really does contain a lot of techniques(250+). Obviously, you will get more out of this is you have a professional teacher, but this is a great book for someone interested, getting started, or is experienced in Krav Maga.

This is a fantastic resource for Krav Maga students. I started studying Krav Maga and Kali about 4 months ago and I purchased this to help me review the Krav Maga techniques I learned in class. It's a phenomenal book; it's very well organized and the pictures, although black and white, are clear and capture the right "moment" when demonstrating a technique. (Having also studied Karate, Aikido, and Judo, I've read a bunch of other books of this type and it always annoys me when the pictures fail to capture the essence of a technique, but luckily that's not the case here). The techniques in the book are organized according to belt or level - I'm probably too new to appreciate it - but I'm sure this would be very helpful to others. The writing is exceptionally clear and to the point.There is a brief introduction but otherwise this gets right into the content. Overall, I think this will be a great resource for me, a worthwhile addition to my library, and I am totally happy with my purchase.I completely recommend this book to you and I hope you find this review helpful. Good luck training!

Great instructions on techniques.But do not kid yourself. You would still need to go to a facility to train with a qualified instructor. Sparing with another person is the only way to really appreciate the fighting system.

I'm writing this as a Krav Maga teacher. This is an excellent companion, and truly does go over the basics to advance wit hwell detailed pictures, but to truly learn you must attend a class to get a true sense on how to apply and perform these moves in a volatile and stress inducing situation. I'm not going to say it's impossible to self teach yourself with this book (that'd be pigheaded) But I will deduce that is a very small percent of the population. The book is great none the less full of correct techniques and good insight. If your thinking of getting it as a classroom companion or just a combat (not martial art) read then it is a must get.

Purchased ‘New’, received a used copy. Overall good condition but there are pen marks and creases from previous owner.
