Product Description

GET IN THE BEST SHAPE OF YOUR LIFE AND MASTER REAL FIGHTING TECHNIQUES WITH ADVANCED KRAV MAGA

Based on the principles of enhancing natural instincts and using appropriate force for self-protection, anyone can master the moves of krav maga – the international self-defense and fitness sensation designed by the Israel Defense Forces. This follow up to Krav Maga: An Essential Guide to the Renowned Method - for Fitness and Self-Defense, explores essential combative tactics including standing, clinch, and extensive groundwork from yellow, orange and green belt levels, to help you update and improve your skills. In this guide to advance techniques, David Kahn will teach you:

How krav maga saved Ernest Kovary, Imi Lichtenfeld’s oldest living student, the day WWII began
The mindset of effective self defense
Upper and lower body combatives and defenses
Powerful retzev workouts
New techniques for mastering escapes against chokes, grabs, and takedowns
Krav maga groundwork
Women's self-defense principles

Regardless of strength, size, age, or gender, you can learn advanced techniques for fending off any attacker – swiftly, powerfully, and simply. And the conditioning you will achieve by practicing these techniques will tone your muscles, improve your reflexes, and get you fighting fit.

From the American expert and Israeli Grandmaster Haim Gidon’s United States representative in the fitness and combat techniques of krav maga, this is the most up to date, authoritative, and advanced guide to real fighting techniques and rigorous conditioning.

3 out of 5 stars advanced krav maga kahn's 2nd book   December 28, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Basically this is not a bad book,it contains the more advanced fighting methods found in krav maga.It has more defenses against puncnes and kicks and goes into ground fighting which is now the rage in much greater detail then previously published krav magna books.It also has a section on self defense with techniques for womens situations in self defense.The reason for giving it only 3 stars is many self defense techniques are explained in word passages only instead of with pictures.When dealing with advanced techniques this isn"t sufficent as it too often leaves you guessing on what the author is saying. A picture is worth a thousand words is the old saying and this certainly proves true here.With addded pictures this book could have been a 5 star book

5 out of 5 stars David Kahn has done it again!   December 3, 2008

Just when you thought Mr. Kahn couldn't write a better book than his first one, he drops this one on you like one of his hammerfist! Advanced Krav Maga is the hardcharging sequel to Krav Maga: The essential guide... From mastering upper and lower body techniques to takedowns and infighting, this book takes off right where his other book left off. Also included in the book is an interview with the oldest living student of founder Imi Lichtenfeld. The book is rounded out with an entire chapter on womens self-defense principals (something I feel is rarely seen but badly needed in other self-defense books). As I said in my review of his last book, Mr. Kahn is the real deal, traveling to Israel twice a year to train. I would challenge those interested to check out either his website or the Krav Maga Israeli website if they have any doubts about his quality of instruction or who he was trained by. Mr. Kahn is THE leading krav maga expert in America, not one of them.

Advanced Krav Maga: The Next Level of Fitness and Self-DefenseDavid Kahn's second book on Krav Maga gives proof of his expertise in this formidable martial art. Mr. Kahn has (and continues to)train both here and in Israel. He connects with the past, present and future of Krav Maga. This book is a must read for anyone interested in learning the most practical of martial arts. Read the book, then train with the best!

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!   October 28, 2008

This book is awesome.

David Kahn continues where he left off with his first book, "Krav Maga: An Essential Guide to the Renowned Method--for Fitness and Self-Defense". David's descriptions of these more advanced techniques are clear and concise. The illustrations are simple and to the point. This is a no nonsense advanced krav maga manual.

For those of us who want more than just a "how to" book, David provied us with interesting interviews and insight from expert krav maga practitioners, as well as real life experiences from various Kravists. He explains the concepts behind krav maga, like retzev and having the correct midset. I am a krav maga instructor and I know that both of his books have helped me become a better Kravist and instructor.

I can't wait to see what's coming next!
