I've seen numerous videos on self-defense and read countless books on the subject. Some teaches you complexe techniques that require years of training, others teach you moves that are simply unrealistic and ineffective in real life. This Krav Maga video, as opposed to many others, "actually" presents easy-to-learn techniques that can "really" be used in confrontations. There's no mumbo-jumbo, no fancy martial arts moves. The tape shows you simply what needs to be done in order to save yourself from some unpleasant medical treatment. A must have for all those who are looking for real-life self-defense and not some fancy Hollywood tricks that serve no other purpose that look good on the big screen.

This is a great video using a different technique than karate. As they say in the video they take people's natural instincts and turn them into self defense techniques. I found myself saying, "gee, that's so simple and logical -- why didn't that ever occur to me?" This is top rated by everyone for a good reason -- it deals well with the subject. I thought a lot of time was spent on choke holds but I suppose that this is a favorite techique of bad guys so there must be a reason for all the time spent on it.

This video delivers exactly what it promises. These are defenses against a variety of grabs, chokes, etc. I have 13 years experience with different martial arts and I wanted something that would be a collection of techniques I have seen throughout the years and these are all excellent. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is that for me Paul Vunak's "Street Safe" video is the best thing out there for overall defense, including grabs. However, I would recommend this one for anyone wanting a great collection of self defense techniques.
