This book may be seen by some as a slow burner, as the actual 'Krav Maga' doesn't really come out until quite a way into the book - especially as Krav Maga is really sold on being such a quick to learn, easily remembered and in many ways simple fighting system to learn.
If you read it through a few times though, you do start to see things making a little more sense, although I do think an over-emphasis on warming up and general exercise abounds.
Once the actual attacks & defences are revealed, it is a well written and clearly photographed guide book.
But if, like me, you don't want to wait until you're half way through a book to get to the actual subject matter, you might find that you read it a few times and don't really come back to it - beginner or not.
It's ok but doesn't blow you away.....
If they just cut out the warm-up's and exercise sections, as I don't think they are really that necessary, and covered more Krav Maga practices, I think it would be much better.

Format:Paperback
Nicely put together book - well written and clear.
Great for the complete newcomer to self defense as it breaks down things as basic but essential as throwing a punch/knee/headbutt. If you have a bit of prior training you might find some of the book a bit simple but its still good for refining technique and referencing.
The suggested fitness training section is nice and theres some history of Krav, legal implications and a section aimed at women too.
At this price you can't go wrong - highly recommended.

Mr. Levine was a disappointment. His way of teaching has no relation to the krav maga as it was thought by Grand Master Imi Lichtenfeld. Read more
