David Kahn has done it again! December 3, 2008
Just when you thought Mr. Kahn couldn't write a better book than his first one, he drops this one on you like one of his hammerfist! Advanced Krav Maga is the hardcharging sequel to Krav Maga: The essential guide... From mastering upper and lower body techniques to takedowns and infighting, this book takes off right where his other book left off. Also included in the book is an interview with the oldest living student of founder Imi Lichtenfeld. The book is rounded out with an entire chapter on womens self-defense principals (something I feel is rarely seen but badly needed in other self-defense books). As I said in my review of his last book, Mr. Kahn is the real deal, traveling to Israel twice a year to train. I would challenge those interested to check out either his website or the Krav Maga Israeli website if they have any doubts about his quality of instruction or who he was trained by. Mr. Kahn is THE leading krav maga expert in America, not one of them.

Advanced Krav Maga: The Next Level of Fitness and Self-DefenseDavid Kahn's second book on Krav Maga gives proof of his expertise in this formidable martial art. Mr. Kahn has (and continues to)train both here and in Israel. He connects with the past, present and future of Krav Maga. This book is a must read for anyone interested in learning the most practical of martial arts. Read the book, then train with the best!

This book is awesome.
David Kahn continues where he left off with his first book, "Krav Maga: An Essential Guide to the Renowned Method--for Fitness and Self-Defense". David's descriptions of these more advanced techniques are clear and concise. The illustrations are simple and to the point. This is a no nonsense advanced krav maga manual.
For those of us who want more than just a "how to" book, David provied us with interesting interviews and insight from expert krav maga practitioners, as well as real life experiences from various Kravists. He explains the concepts behind krav maga, like retzev and having the correct midset. I am a krav maga instructor and I know that both of his books have helped me become a better Kravist and instructor.
I can't wait to see what's coming next!

David Kahn's latest book, Advanced Krav Maga: The Next Level of Fitness and Self-Defense is excellent start to where his other book, Krav Maga: An Essential Guide to the Renowned Method--for Fitness and Self-Defense ends.
As a student of David's, I can tell you that these techniques are exactly what we learn at the Israeli Krav Maga Training Facility in Hamilton, NJ. These techniques can be learned and applied by anyone (young, old, male, female, etc.). I am often surprised on how quickly new students, without any formal martial arts experience, pick up on the techniques and effectively apply them.
The great thing about this Israeli Krav Maga style and their techniques is that they are continuous refined under the leadership of Israeli Krav Maga Grandmaster Haim Gidon and his Senior Black Belt Instructors in Israel. What you see and what you will learn from reading the books are proven techniques that have been tested and proven to work in real world situations.
I highly recommend both of David's books to anyone who studies Krav Maga or is interested in a no-nonsense self-defense that works. I say this not only as a student but also, as a martial artist who has studied other styles. I think the Israeli Krav Maga style is the best thing going these days. Certainly, it is the most effective.
Read the book, you'll enjoy it. Go practice the techniques and you'll see that I mean. If you are ever in the Trenton, NJ area stop by the training facility. I'm sure that David and his excellent instructors would enjoy having you.

I think that this is a great book written by an expert author. Having been a long time student of David, but moving to another part of the country, I felt reading the book brought me right back to his classroom. I highly recommend this book. The KM stories provide great background for the mindset of what it is to train as a Kravist.
