2008-05-19 A Good Place to start to Learn Krav Maga

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.
