Excellent BookMarch 17, 2008 Book lover(U.S.A.) Just recieved this book and I must say this book is excellent. Easy to read and do the exersices & self defense moves. The another person who commented on the book obviously does not understand that on page 95 that there is no mention of the 90 degree angle, as was claimed. This was all about generating the force of a punch since she was a female. I am doing all of the hand to hand combat moves and I found them easy, common-sense self defense measures. This from my understanding is also the very first book that was ever written on the subject of Krav Maga, in English.
Interesting, but not really useful.September 13, 2002 J. Moore(Garden of Earthly Delights) 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is interesting because it covers topics from fitness, to self-defense, to rope and wall climbing.
The self-defense recommendations are sometimes bizarre and dangerous however. An example of this is a punch where one bends forward 90 degrees at the waist and extends the arm straight out - making the body into a giant 90 degree angle. This particular move is biomechanically and tactically dangerous in real self-defense - and there are others like it.
I don't care what a person's credentials are - there is a lot of stuff taught to armed forces all over the world.
The book has some interest, it just isn't good for what it's intended.
