Krav Maga: Real World Solutions to Real World Violence presents a no-nonsense approach to neutralizing attackers in close quarters . Author Gershon Ben Keren explains the philosophy behind the Krav Maga method , which is the basis of the Israel Defense Force's (IDF) devastating close combat system . This book lays out a systematic approach to self-defense and provides illustrated confrontation scenarios paired with tailored practical responses.
Accompanied by clear , easy - to - follow photographs , practical combat skills are described in step - by - step detail , along with the movement patterns needed to make them effective in real - life settings . All of the photos in the book were shot in real-time, demonstrating what realistic movements — both from the attacker's and defender's perspective — look like . Where applicable, techniques have been shot in the scenarios in which they occur such as bars , restrooms , ATMs , etc . The situational components of such violent incidents are explained, so the reader can learn to identify , predict, and avoid violence before it occurs.
