Author Gershon Ben Keren explains the philosophy behind the Krav Maga method, which is the basis of the Israel Defense Force's (IDF) devastating close combat system. This book lays out a systematic approach to self-defense and provides illustrated confrontation scenarios paired with tailored practical responses. Accompanied by explicit, easy-to-follow photographs, practical combat skills are described in step-by-step detail, along with the movement patterns needed to make them useful in real-life settings. All of the photos in the book were shot in real-time, demonstrating what realistic movements—both from the attacker's and defender's perspective—look like. Where applicable, techniques have been shot in the scenarios in which they occur such as bars, restrooms, ATMs, etc. The situational components of such violent incidents are explained, so the reader can learn to identify, predict, and avoid violence before it occurs. Contents of this Krav Maga book include: What is Krav Maga? Krav Maga Yashir Introduction to author Gershon Ben Keren Basic Skills (Stances, Movement, Blocking and Striking)—The Timeline of Violence; Controlling Range; Relative Body Positioning; Groin Kick; Driving Knee Self-Defense Scenarios—Knife Disarming; Gun to Front of Body; Abductions and Hostage Taking; Knife Shank; Improvised Weapons Unarmed Assaults and Dynamic Components of Violence—Preventing a Front Headlock; Applying an Effective Guillotine; Defending Knees in a Clinch and more! Review: Good addtion to your self-defense or Krav Maga library - “Krav Maga: Real World Solutions To Real World Violence” by Gershon Ben Keren is an excellent addition to one’s self-defense library when looking for a book that illustrates self-defense techniques with concepts and principles also discussed. In close to 200 pages, Keren does a very good job of sharing some of his Krav Maga philosophy and techniques. He starts with an introduction of Krav Maga and himself before going into the three parts of this book. Part 1: Basic Skills (Stances, Movement, Blocking, and Striking) This portion of the book does a good job of describing basic principles and skills with photographs, that while small, are clear and illustrate well. Yes, they are basic, but basics are what one must learn and practice to actually defend oneself. These are the essential foundations of a good self-defense program and again, Keren does a good job of briefly describing these skills and illustrating them with photographs. Part 2: Self-Defense Scenarios This section provides responses to numerous types of attacks. Some of which include: knife threat against a wall, gun to front of head, rear hostage with arm around neck, and so on. And while there are numerous scenarios, Keren shows through pictures and descriptions how simple movements can be used for different situations so one can master fewer responses to use in a variety of ways rather than something completely different for every scenario. The pictures are again, small, but clear. I actually took the book to the gym to get with a couple of my black belt Hapkido students to try some things out. We practiced the techniques and liked a number of them. They were not that different from things we already practice. On a few of them, we modified them a bit from what the book was showing to make them fit better with what we already do and practice. This really is the only way to learn techniques from a book or video, you must actually get on the mat and try them and practice them. And it is definitely easier to learn from a book or video when you already have a solid foundation of fighting or martial arts. I found the scenarios and techniques to be very good and liked this portion of the book. Part 3: Unarmed Assaults and Dynamic Components of Violence It this part, the author covers topics such as applying different chokes and strangles, fighting from a clinch, and escaping headlocks. The information is presented like the scenarios with descriptions and the small, but clear, photographs. Again, to benefit from this part of the book one needs to get with a partner and try the stuff out and practice. Conclusion The book concludes with a very short conclusion. This obviously isn’t the entire Krav Maga curriculum or everything Keren knows. It is however, a very good book on the specific situations and scenarios Keren covers. For this type of book (technique book with pictures), it is well done and one that will compliment any self-defense training program and belongs in any self-defense resource library. With this said, I don’t agree with all of Keren’s “solutions to violence” and would opt for different solutions as times. But that doesn’t take away from the book as a good resource, as I believe you should learn different things, try them out, and find the “best” for you individually. Not everyone will fight like Keren, just like not everyone will fight like me. We must all learn and train to be the best we can be individually, and this book can help with that journey. Review: Refreshing Approach. Amazing Photography. - There are so many books out there on martial arts and/or self-defense, and I've grown weary of a lot of it; this one, however, is a refreshingly thoughtful and straightforward take on the realities of dealing with violence. The author is clearly an authority on the subject matter, as he is able to break down physical techniques and general personal safety concepts to crucial details, while keeping it very easy to follow. To be more specific, though, there are 2 main features of this book that separate it from the rest in my opinion: 1. LAYOUT - The book is very descriptive and easy to understand. The color photo demonstrations are crystal clear and of insanely high-quality. If you're used to one or two black-and-white photos to accompany text, you're going to be pleased with the number of superbly photographed pictures in this book. 2. CONCEPT - Of all that I've seen, this book is the most effective at demonstrating combative techniques, but there will always be a limit to the physical content one can actually learn from reading a book. My favorite thing about this book is its emphasis on personal safety concepts and principles that completely transcend any specific technique one might use in self-defense. This is the most "real" take on violence that I've ever read (i.e. It includes psychological factors, physiological factors, and environmental factors), and the idea that the physical aspect is just one component of a much bigger picture of personal protection is the most valuable thing that someone can take from reading a book on this subject. If you are looking to actually learn something of value, I highly recommend this! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #561,408 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #184 in Boxing (Books) #264 in Wrestling (Books) #901 in Sports Training (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 331 Reviews | ## Images ![Krav Maga: Real World Solutions to Real World Violence - Disrupt - Damage - Destroy - Disengage - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Op06n-FyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good addtion to your self-defense or Krav Maga library *by A***B on April 3, 2015* “Krav Maga: Real World Solutions To Real World Violence” by Gershon Ben Keren is an excellent addition to one’s self-defense library when looking for a book that illustrates self-defense techniques with concepts and principles also discussed.

I recently purchased this 192 page soft cover book (Krav Maga: Real world solutions to real world violence by Gershon Ben Keren) and found it to be a good introduction to Krav Maga; however, the very small photographs would make this a very difficult book to actually learn Krav Maga from only reading this book. I was familiar with most of the techniques in this manual because I have had hands-on training with Krav Maga instructors, and if you are presently taking Krav Maga from an instructor this book can be a reference text when combined with hands-on training. There are many techniques in this book which I think are too advanced for a basic Krav Maga course. There are numerous martial arts (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Kenjutsu, Hanbo-jutsu, Yawara jutsu etc.) being practiced today; however, the big difference between a traditional martial art and Krav Maga is this fact. Most traditional martial arts focus very little on practical street self-defense, but Krav Maga’s primary focus is on mastering pure practical self-defense and Combatives in their system. Every martial art has value and you should seek out the system that matches your interest and needs. If you are taking Krav Maga from an instructor you may want to check out this book.
