Krav Maga by David Kahn (2004, Paperback)

I decided to buy the book b/c I've starting learning Krav Maga. The book explains in detail right along with my class instructions.

I take krav maga up here in NJ and my teacher says his teacher, from Israel, told him he took lessons got the green belt and quit. Imi the founder said he was a bad teacher, thats what i heard.

Kahn's Krav Maga is a book that should be read by all martial artists regardless of their personal style. This book breaks down the style of Krav to its basic elements. The descriptions are easily understood and the reference diagrams and photos enhance the instruction, making it easily absorbed by the reader. This book makes an excellent case for Krav being learned as a personal self-defense study. In addition to the practical instruction and applications, the author provides a useful 12 week exercise regimen that can be followed by anyone serious about learning Krav. Though the book is the best I have seen on the subject, it should be used as an adjunct to an actual Krav Maga course taught by a certified instructor. This book should be on the shelf of every martial artist's personal library.
