Advanced Krav Maga: A Complete Reference

Krav Maga is recognized as one of the most efficient fighting systems around today. Based on common sense, it has evolved by necessity in a region ravaged by fighting for over a century. This book completes the previous ‘Krav Maga Kicks’ by the same author, with the more advanced Krav Maga techniques. This encyclopedic work recapitulates Krav Maga’s history and principles and covers again the opponent’s vulnerable points to be targeted. It then goes on to describe the Strikes, Kicks and Special Techniques used commonly in KM. After covering the Theory of Aggression, it does detail advanced Offensive Techniques including Range Covering, Guard Neutralization and Naturally-flowing Combinations. The main body of the text will then cover Defenses against an opponent armed with a stick, a knife or a gun. The last part describes the use of everyday objects as Improvised Weapons. All along, the book underlines continuously the cardinal Krav Maga principle of Retzev, with dozens of examples of ‘continuous offensive motion’ until the opponent is fully vanquished. 250 pages, suitable for beginners and trained Martial Artists from other Schools, are crammed to the brim with over 1500 Photos and Illustrations!
