BOOKS & MORE: Close combat with Krav Maga

Close combat, this is not just the friendly wrestling between two people who end up happily cuddling together. Military close combat is a serious issue because it usually brings opponents together who decide on the shortest distance and in a very personal and physical way who wins. Those who practice martial arts may have a connection to this, but otherwise ... Carsten Draheim is an internationally renowned Krav Maga trainer - in this book he presents the military application of this combat system.

How do you achieve the goal of winning, there are always these basics that need to be considered and reflected on when starting training. Attack angles are such a thing.

And then how to approach the fight. And always the right attitude: namely wanting to win - and in a serious situation, with violence. Draheim lays the foundation in his book. Then it starts.

Every beginning is the combat stance. So how do we position ourselves to be able to react efficiently and quickly to the danger. Without weapons, with weapons.

The book is like a picture book. And that's a good thing because here the different possibilities are well structured and presented in many photos. We only show you these image pages, but this is how it goes - logically structured in well thought out sequences. That's exactly why this book is worth it, even if we have to say very clearly: Practice! Practice! Practice!

And where there were weapons before, there is also a variant where only hands are used. Every line in the book is worthwhile - even for those interested in martial arts or people in the security field.

It actually ends where it began, with the mindset that is so important. "Mindset" is what they call it today and after the turning point it also means "Never give up."

This is Carsten, who introduces Krav Maga to you as military close combat and is HERE at home. And these are the two guys you see in all the pictures. We like their gentle look, but we wouldn't want to have to fight with them. "Military Krav Maga Close Combat" is a great book for anyone who wants or needs to deal with close combat.

Looking at the back: This is the book's self-description.
