Advanced Krav Maga: The Next Level of Fitness and Self-Defense Reviews
-
An interesting and useful overview of common self-defense techniques. I'm not sure whether it would be helpful for people who don't already have extensive martial arts background and are capable of translating the descriptions into action - especially if they don't have a partner to work with.
It was a helpful refresher on the Krav Maga I took in college and the concept of "retnev" or continuous flow in fighting was new and useful.
Worth reading if you already know some self-defense combatives and looking for a breadth of common techniques to cover any edges you might have missed. Alternately, if you have a training partner, you can cover a lot of the basics by practicing what's in this book. -
Probably should have started with a beginners level book but I still really liked this and having had a little hand to hand combat training I wasn't completely at a loss. Key words there are probably "little" and "completely".

Looks pretty cool and very detailed. Has also good suggestions, sounds pretty paranoid, but is true to metropolitan areas like NY.
