About this ebook

From “one of the best [Krav Maga] instructors in the world . . . this book gives you access to his experience and knowledge.” (Amir Perets, Krav Maga 4th degree black belt, former hand-to-hand combat instructor for elite units in the Israeli Defense Force)

Learn the ultimate form of self defense with the top-selling guide to Krav Maga in an updated and expanded edition from Darren Levine.

All the defense moves in Complete Krav Maga—from beginner Yellow Belt to advanced

Black Belt—are described in depth and illustrated with step-by-step photos:

• BEGINNER: Punches, kicks, knee strikes and defense movements

• INTERMEDIATE: Counterattacks against knives, guns and sticks

• ADVANCED: Advanced strikes and ground fighting techniques

Based on the principle that it is best to move from defense to attack as quickly as possible, Complete Krav Maga teaches fast-escape maneuvers combined with powerful counterattacks. Whether you are big or small, male or female, young or old, you can use Krav Maga to protect yourself by exploiting an assailant’s vulnerabilities.

“Darren Levine has my unqualified support and gratitude for his contributions to Krav Maga.” —Imi Lichtenfeld, founder of Krav Maga

Ratings and reviews

The content is excellent. The reason for the 2 stars is that on my laptop and on my tablet. On both devices the text is across the pictures which maxe it difficult to read. If I fiddle with the settings such as going to 150% on some pages I get the text beneath the pictures. However I might not by then be on the same page. Having done this I've not really taken in the information as I'm concentrating on the settings of my 2 devices. Unfortunately the pictures are for some reason in black and white which I find offensive in this day and age.
