Editorial Reviews:

Developed for the Israel military forces and battle tested in real-life combat, Krav Maga has gained an international reputation as an easy-to-learn yet highly effective art of self-defense. Clearly written and extensively illustrated, Complete Krav Maga details every aspect of the system including dozens of hand-to-hand combat moves, over 20 weapons defense techniques and a complete physical conditioning workout program.

All the moves are described in depth from beginning Yellow Belt to advanced Black Belt, yet they are easy to learn because one of Krav Maga's strengths is its simplicity. Based on the principle that it is best to move from defense to attack as quickly as possible, Complete Krav Maga offers fast-escape maneuvers from attacks and holds. It then follows them up with specific counterattacks, including punches, kicks and throws.

The authors show how anyone (big or small, man or woman) can practice self defense by using Krav Maga to protect weak spots, exploit an assailant's vulnerabilities and turn the attacker’s force against him. Complete Krav Maga teaches the reader how to get in shape, gain confidence and feel safer and more secure every day.

Summary: A Fat Lawyer from LA teaching Krav Maga?
Comment: OK, so this is written by a fat lawyer from LA who claims to be the Krav Maga expert? Hmmmmmm, I don't think so....
Dangerous at best is the best description of this book....
I am fortunate to know some VERY deadly special forces guys from Israel AND the U.S. and they all say David Kahn is the actual expert on the subject and I must agree having read books from Levine AND Kahn...
Don't waste your money on this book!

Summary: Very good resource
Comment: I teach for a different Krav Maga organisation so read this with some interest.

I have to say, most of my own students have this and use it. A good buy, well illustrated and a gtreat effort by Mr Levine et al. If you cant get to an instructor, this is a great start.

Summary: mediocre at best, dangerous at worst
Comment: This is just another text in the continuing propaganda machine for this brand of "Krav Maga" (which is a generic term in Israeli CQB, not really a system), commercialized by self promoted experts, with little or non battlefield experience.

A lot of the information in this book is wrong on so many levels, specially disarms and defenses. The reader should be advised to do some research into real close quarter battle, specially the professional; do not trust your life to the effectiveness of these techniques.

More credible are systems such as American Combatives, Kapap (see Kapap Academy), even judo mized with combatives, as well as Professor Koga's Aikido for the Street. Do not trust your life to this stuff!

Summary: This Book is a Supplement!
Comment: This book is a great supplement to the actual training. As I think anyone who seriously studies a fighting discipline knows, you will never learn it from a book. That said, if you are training in Krav, this book offers a great review and breakdown of each item in the curriculum.

Full Disclosure: I train at Krav Maga SF. Photographed demonstrating in this book is Gabe Khorramian, one of our head instructors. I have taken many classes from him and he, along with the other authors, are well qualified and legit. We keep a couple of copies of this book lying around as a handy reference, but that is about it. Its a great resource for someone training for a belt test to refresh their memory. Just don't expect to read it and join the IDF.
