Krav Maga Tactical Survival: Personal Safety in Action. Proven Solutions for Real Life Situations Book by Gershon Ben Keren
Krav Maga Tactical Survival presents proven solutions to dangerous, real-life situations.
Krav Maga is the official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces and has been battle-tested by police, armed forces, private security personnel and security-minded individuals around the globe for 60 years. Krav Maga teaches you how to quickly size up a dangerous situation and neutralize your attackers before they gain the upper hand.
This martial arts book is full of examples of real-world life-threatening situations, and in each case the clear, step-by-step photographs and text illustrate an effective solution—showing you how to disrupt your attacker's strategy, disarm them, damage or destroy their ability to harm you, and disengage quickly so you can move to a more secure location.
Krav Maga Tactical Survival covers the following essential techniques:
- Upper Body Combatives (hammer-fist strikes, hook punches, head-butts, front kicks and more)
- De-escalation techniques
- Spoiling knife and firearm draws
- Neutralizing knife and firearm attacks
- Dealing with unarmed attacks (clothing grabs, chokes and bear hugs)
- Executing pick-ups and throws
From the Author
Part of the approach of the book, is to show that different solutions, can be used against a similar attack, based on situational components e.g. in some cases it may be better to disengage than disarm a weapon etc. Rather than suggest that there is only one tactic/method to use against a particular attack, the book shows different responses that may be more relevant and effective based on what is actually happening i.e. the situation determines the solution.
Once again all of the photographs are in full color, and were shot at full speed, in the locations where violence occurs. What makes Krav Maga and Self-Defense effective is understanding the context in which violent altercations take place, and this is what the book tries to achieve.
