Krav Maga QuickStart Guide: The Simplified Beginner's Guide to Krav Maga Paperback – May 19, 2015

This book discussed Krav Maga, a martial arts which originated from Israel. By reading this book, I learned that Krav Maga is a form of combat that has short, on point and accurate techniques that are not too difficult to learn and can be applied on the streets especially when in a real threatening situation, even though we can possibly learn it in a few sessions, it is not something anyone can master overnight. Its techniques I believe are not that complicated but are very effective that is why it is being used by military organizations when training. I am an amateur when it comes to martial arts and this book introduced Krav Maga perfectly well to me, how the author explained its concept, philosophy and the basic strikes, attacks and defense were very helpful.Good read and I recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn the fundamentals of Krav Maga and martial arts enthusiasts who haven’t yet tried this form of combat.

My take on the book, Krav Maga: For Beginners - A Comprehensive Introduction to Krav Maga (Krav Maga, Krav Maga Training, Krav Maga History). As some one who is looking into getting their family into some kind of martial arts classes. I choose to purchase and read this book. It is great for beginners probably not so much for experienced people. But over all it’s a great book. Everyone and anyone who is interested in this kind of “art” this is a must read to find out if it is for you before you try it. The author really put effort into this book. It’s a great read. Thanks.

As someone who has practiced km before, I felt this book was lacking, especially for someone whom is lapped and looking to get back into it. I was hoping to see more of a diagram look. But very informational and gives you an idea of what to expect and ask about when deciding on a school to practice.

Krav Maga has fascinated me for a very long time. I tried when I was in my teen years, but didn't really go through with due to some personal circumstances. When I saw this Krav Maga book, i immediately started feel the desire coming back. Krav Maga is an Israeli martial arts born of necessity and brutal pragmatism. It is not something you learn overnight and it not something you can learn by simply reading this book. Yet, this is a good reference. There are pictures of the moves and good descriptions. I strongly believe that everyone needs to learn enough physical skills to save your life if ever the need arises.This book has all the basic information you need to start krav maga. Its not only the fighting skills you gain, but also the mental discipline.

I think there was one illustration in the whole book. I bought it based on the 5 star rating it had at the time but I have to question those reviews . The book is very short on substance and usable material.

ClydeBank Media is a legit Amazon Publisher.They publish actual books, rather than just glorified pamphlets, and this book is a perfect example.The book is professionally written, and easy to follow. The illustrations in the book are clear, not too big, and a nice addition.What more can I say that hasn't already been said? ClydeBank strikes again!-Slov&Turtle

I got this for my nephew who is into martial arts, to encourage him to read a little more. Krav Maga means “contact combat” in Hebrew and a little of the history and principles of this fighting style are explained here. The author emphasizes that the book alone cannot teach anyone to be a krav maga fighter, but my nephew still found it interesting. Many strikes, punches and kicks are explained and the included diagrams are helpful, as is the glossary of terms at the end of the book. Defensive moves against various attacks is also covered.

A friend of mine studies Krav Maga, so when I came across this book, I was intrigued.I like that there are pictures of the moves and good descriptions, but I don't think this something that can be learned simply from reading.There are many good defense moves in this book, but I think I would have to actually go to a class to get the correct form and technique. That being said, it is an interesting book!
