4.0 out of 5 stars Good for referencing, 12 Aug 2007
By Holger Lagerfeldt (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book has some very good introduction chapters, detailing the history and background of Krav Maga. It points out the difference between KM and martial arts, and why KM is so effective in real life situations. Very well written, and clearly the authors have put a lot of thought into defining things, like the difference between a principle and a technique.

The instructions are pretty straightforward and photos are mostly good, though slightly lacking in print contrast. The introduction contains a short terminology list, however the instructions sometimes use words not obvious to the beginner, such as "telegraphing" (the act of revealing your intended attack or move too early). As far as I could tell most techniques were correctly described and explained properly - no wonder considering the source of information is Darren Levine.

The book wisely states several times that a book can't replace actual physical training with an instructor, and recommend that you practice the instructions in the book with a friend, first slowly then faster and harder. My words exactly, but the book can be great for referencing the philosophy behind KM and the moves up to a certain level.

Having personally trained Krav Maga for a relatively short period of time at the Krav Maga Center in Denmark, it's hats off to a system that's not only very effective but so amazingly easy to remember. Krav Maga is based on the body's own initial and natural responses, and moves are based on principles rather making up a defense for each possible attack you could think of. Reading through the first two instruction chapters (yellow and orange belt) I realized I remembered 99% of all the excercises from my training.

I recommend the book for beginners to medium level, while the introduction chapters are probably of interest to everybody who trains Krav Maga.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Place to start to Learn Krav Maga, 19 May 2008
By Mr. A. Gifford "Readers are Leaders" (Stoke, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You can't learn any martial art from a book alone.With that out of the way I highly recommend this book as a starting point for anyone who is interested in learning Krav Maga. It starts with the foundation of the system, the philosophy behind it and a sequential step by step process in the various techniques.All relevant details are included, and after studying the photo's and text, you will have a good grounding in the basics of the system.HOWEVER IT DOES NOT REPLACE INSTRUCTION AND PRACTISE.Krav Maga is a great system, and everyone should learn how to defend themselves, but just reading this book will not do that for you.With diligent practise anyone can learn these simple but very effective techniques, and be confident that you can defend yourself should the need ever arise.I look forward to the other volumes in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Krav Maga, 6 Mar 2009
I started Krav Maga about 2 months ago and have purchased x2 Krav Maga books in that time. The best by far is Complete Krav Maga. The other book Krav Maga by David Khan does not come anywhere near the standard that this book is at. Firstly, The photo's are very clear ( no problems with the photo's at all ) Secondly, the moves taught cover all the belts up to brown including many ground work techniques. Thirdly, It is simple to follow and the photo's break down the moves step by step.
* I strongly reccomend everyone to buy this book. You will not regret it. Regardless of the Martial Art you do - get this book. If you are interested in Krav Maga or already do this as an art - GET THIS BOOK!. You will be very pleased with it.
