Advanced Krav Maga: The Next Level of Fitness and Self-Defense

Advanced Krav Maga explores advanced techniques and training in krav maga, the self-defense martial art and fitness system developed by the Israel Defense Forces. Based on principles of enhancing natural instincts and using appropriate force for self-protection and weapons defense, the book covers essential combative tactics including standing, clinch, and groundwork from yellow, orange, and green belt levels. David Kahn teaches upper and lower body combatives and defenses, retzev workouts, escapes against chokes and grabs, groundwork instruction, and women's self-defense principles. The book includes a historical account of how krav maga saved Ernest Kovary, Imi Lichtenfeld's oldest living student, during World War II, and covers the mindset of effective self-defense. Regardless of strength, size, age, or gender, readers can learn techniques for fending off attackers while building conditioning that tones muscles and improves reflexes. This is a follow-up to Kahn's earlier book Krav Maga: An Essential Guide to the Renowned Method—for Fitness and Self-Defense.
