I found Gershon, who teaches Krav Maga in Boston, and saw for myself that the self-defense system he describes in his books is very eflicint, serious realistic, and suitable for stret fights and survival in ‘various other circumstances. am impressed by the rhetoric he chose to describe the vatious techniques he presents in his second book. (Over the year, many books have been written on the topic of self-defense, However, Gershon's second book on Krav Maga Yasir is excellent in its presentation of real-life situations of assault and defense agains the described attacks [tis worth mentioning thatthe second book i also very readable, and the material is presented very well through photographs. It can certainly be used as a training manual for ‘every stent ofthe various martial arts systems, and Krav Maga in partcsla. have been very impressed with this work, and am looking forward to Gershon's future books on Krav Maga Yashie.

There isa huge difference between knowing how to "mechanicaly” perform a technigue and being able to actualy get that techaique to work during s real-life confrontation If ou don’t understand how violent situations occur and develop, and the situational components that accompany them, itis unlikely that you will be succesful in dealing with physical violence, however many techniques you may know. Rather than simply present an encyclopedia of techniques, have tried to demonstrate what ral world violence looks ike and how Krav Maga can be used to deal with 4. This ie nota book about techniques, but about solutions to violence—which may be non-physical as well as physical. To this end, {have tried to emplay nat only my festhand experiences of violence (and those of my contemporaries and colleagues, but also academic research T have been involved in and privy to, long with that which is avaiable inthe public domain. | frmly live that i is important aot to limit what you teach to your own experiences, however broad you may believe they ae, but to ratify and compare them to those of others, and ¢o that which has been academically proven, Too often, the self defense and personal-safety industry teaches, and presents, what are merely good ideas and well-imentioned strategies and tactics, which may not have any sold basis in reality ‘The techniques and situations described in this book are aimed at educating the reader as to how different types of violent situations develop and play out. They are not designed to be taken as blueprints that accurately describe and reflect every situation that you might fencounter. n 99 percent of mugging scenarios, for example, handing over your wallet to an assailant pointing a gun at your head wil be the mos effective solution; however, if they have a finger on the tigger and their hands are shaking, de to ether nerves or withdrawal (most ‘muggings occur to support a drug habit) it may be safer to perform a disarm immediately in case they inadvertently shoot you. The situation determines the solution; there should never be a set of rules you blindly follow. Because of this, you need to understand the ‘dynamics of violence, including how diferent aggressors are motivated and operate—the same knife threat may be applied by individuals with different motive, and so may require different solutions. Ifyou dont take this into account in your training, and simply treat a knife ‘threat asa knife threat, you ae not traning fr reality ‘An aggressors motivation is one of five different situational components that you will nee to take into consideration when determining solutions, These five different components are |. Location/Environment—Where does the incident take place? A public street, your house, ete? 2. Relationship What i you relationship with your aggressor Stranger, acquaintance, friend, etc? 3 Motive—What is motivating your aggressor? Financial gain, sexual satisfaction, ego, injustice, ete? 4. State of mind What ae you thinking/how prepared are you? Are you surprised, resigned, in denial, et? 5. Third parties—Who is with you? Are you alone, with friends, with kids et? [Not all violence i the same, A person who puts 2 knife to your throat may do so for 8 number af reasons. They may be attempting to rob you, oF they may want to abduct you or they may have just Become enraged by something you have done (or the think you've done). This ‘ould aecur on a steet, ina parking lot, or in your own home It could be commited by someone you know, rather than a total stranger. You ‘might not be on your own; you may be with friends or famaly members, and if you have kids, they may be present, to. Knowing how to perform a knife control or disarm is really only one part ofthe story, as depending on the situation there may be more effective solutions, and a disarm may infact be detrimental to your safry. Understanding how these different components interact and change the dynamics of 8 situation wil allow you to choose and implement an effective solution, This book attempts to educate you about how to solve these "tuations safely rather than just how to perform various Krav Maga techniques, Krav Maga ita practical system, and our approach to using it should be practical as well thas come along way from the 1940s, when Imi Lichtenfld designed it asa system of cose combat fora soldier witha pack on his or her back. Where violence onthe battlefield was simple and direct the aggressive and violent situations in which modern soldiers and civilians find themselves are much more complex; the modern infantryman has to perform peacekeeping and law-enforcement roles and civilians have to deal with muggets, sexual assailants, and drunks in bars. While the techniques of Kray Maga are sll simple, the situations where they may need to be applied are fa from simplistic, and Krav Maga has evolved and developed inorder to remain effective and applicable. ‘This book is divided into four parts the first part looks a striking and blocking; the second at armed scenacios; the third at unarmed. assaults and the situations in which they occur; andthe fourth at throws and takedowns. Although this book stands alone refer in places to ‘my first book, Krav Maga: Real World Solutions to Real World Violence (published by Tuttle), as T didnt want to duplicate any of the information or techniques contained thersin. Once again, I have tried to demonstrate the simplicity of Krav Maga, the concepts and principles upon which itis founded, and the way it reuses and builds on existing techniques and movements, rather than tying to create ‘ew ones, Ultimately this book is about survival It i not about ego or being righ; asthe Hebrew Bible states, "It is better to be alive dog than a dead lion PARTI. Striking ‘The majority of violent situations you wil find yourself i will occur face-to-face (Paninn-a-Panim) regardless af whether you are dealing witha sexual assailant, a mugger, or a drunk in a ba. This mcans that in most situations, our solutions will involve striking (preferably preemptively) to-a greater or lesser degre, and so you should therefore eara to strike hard and accurately, 1 you look at what you are attempting to doin a violent altercation, 80 to 90 percent of it wil be to ty to deliver pain and concussive force through striking, with the goal of emotionally and physical debilitating your asalant so that they are either unable or unwilling to continue the fight. To ths end, your striking shouldbe conducted as an all-ou assault against them, tobe carried outwith fll emotion and fggression. It should look very diferent fom the way that you spar—sparring is something you do with a partner; real-life striking is something you do against an assailant. Your striking will be given its power and potency through your aggression and your emotion; a poorly executed strike delivered with full ‘motion and aggression will be more elective than a technically perfect one tha lacks any emotional commitment. Upper-Body Combatives Many people who practice punching on focus mitts ze surprised when they'e not abe to generate the same type of power when striking the head with bare knuckles. The same wil often be experienced by individuals who train/spar wearing gloves—the bigger the gloves they wear, the more dificult they will find the transition, When you strike a focus mit, you are hitting a lat surface, so you are able to hit it square on and deliver driving force through the target. Gloves create the same elect by “Battening” the striking surface and spreading the force inta the target. When you punch bare-knuckled to the head, you are rately striking a lat surface—especially if you are striking someone who is isctly in front of you If on the other hand, you move tothe side ofthe person and strike, you can present the face asa fatter surface, and you can deliver greater concussve, damaging force, The eect of punching a face positioned dzecly in ont of you is that your pucches will ‘often “rol” off the target. The risk ofthis increases ifthe head moves with the inital impact of your strike This i why, if you ae going to
