Because not all krav maga is the same.
This book introduces and codifies big-picture thinking to take you to the next level of self-defense expertise. The material is designed to conform to your strengths; you need not conform to the system. In this latest volume from David Kahn, you will find practical, battle-tested stratagems and insights that are equally applicable across the spectrum of martial arts and fighting systems. The text is supported by 180 dynamic separate photo series representing a rich krav maga gamut of self-defense strategies and tactics.
Security-minded civilians master krav maga to construct a defensive shield against violence, not to develop an offensive capability to perpetrate violence. Krav maga training’s goal for civilians is simple: to deliver you from harm’s way using autonomic responses that both harness and hone krav maga’s instinctive tactics. The tactics become not second nature but first nature.
The ultimate goal is that you never hesitate about resorting to overwhelming, optimized counterviolence in the face of an unavoidable threat or attack. When there is no other choice but to defend yourself, you may be compelled to maim, cripple, and even use lethal force against an attacker, but only if under the totality of the circumstances such defense measures are legally justifiable. In actual fights, the combatants, even if they have formal training, often dispense with any complex learned training and resort to primitive combative tactics fueled by anger and bloodlust. The depth of violence will largely depend on the participants involved and how quickly animal instincts hijack the situation. In krav maga, breaking bones, injuring ligaments, and destroying an eyeball are optimized and emphasized both tactically and strategically to end the attack—provided these debilitating tactics represent proportional force. Women are often victims of violence and crime because the assailant thinks he can get away with it without injury to himself. Krav maga is designed to exact a steep physical toll on anyone who will not listen to reason and is intent on harming you.
In the basest, most primal sense, when faced with a life-threatening situation, the kravist understands how to inflict terrible, debilitating wounds on an adversary. There is no pity or compassion in a self-defense situation, but only if, once again, the counterforce is legally justifiable. In general terms, the party who significantly damages the other party first usually prevails, provided he presses the counterattack home to neutralize the threat.
