3.0 out of 5 starsStop Reading at Brown Belt
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2020
The ethos of Krav Maga in the first couple of chapters is spot on. I agree with most techniques until Brown Belt with exception of the jump, spinning and high kicks. My opinion is a low kick to the groin, directly into the knee cap, to the side or back of the knee are the only safe, efficient destructive kicks to attempt. Having been stabbed in 2 of 3 REAL knife attacks, knife “disarming” techniques are for John Wick movies. While I think this book is definitely worth having, I would also chose the MCMAP manual (I was a recurring guest instructor at MCRD), and best of all, Kelley McCann’s “Combatives.” Also Rory Miller’s “Meditations on Violence.”
