BREAKING: BOOK RELEASE

After three and a half years of hard work, a few writing retreats and photo shoots and hundreds of hours of hard work, my first book, “Krav Maga: An In-Depth Study of Violence and the Science of Self-Defense and Street Fighting” is published!

The book is available on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/7kpW8Qd

This book is the fruit of 40 years of practice of martial arts, 36 years of practice of Krav Maga and 22 years of teaching the system to thousands of students and Instructors worldwide.

It is also heavily influenced by my 16 years career as a psychotherapist specializing in addiction and family violence.

Finally, my violent youth in France and many street fights growing up in a dangerous neighborhood have informed my understanding of violence and self-defense.

This book is my testament and my legacy. It is about Krav Maga of course but also violence, psychology and the art of teaching; it is NOT a teaching manual and does not pretend to be. It is something different all together.

I have studied a few martial arts before trying Krav Maga, and I can honestly say that within a few months I felt more prepared to deal with real world situations than in years of learning more mainstream disciplines. Krav Maga's focus on dealing with realistic threats has made me feel much more prepared to defend myself and my family should such a situation ever arise. Krav Maga class also has the added benefit of being a great workout and a perfect stress release.

I started taking Krav Maga a year ago to spend some time doing an activity with my brother and also because I work in an unsafe part of town, finishing most of the time when it's dark out. I hated doing my sprint to the car worrying about what would happen. Thanks to Krav Maga, I no longer worry about that. I'm more aware of my surroundings, and confident in my ability to get out of, or avoid any situations that may arise. Participating in a class with males also helps to reassure me that I can throw someone off of me who's twice my size too. An added bonus is that the class has greatly helped my aerobic fitness and strength. All around, it's been a great decision!

Krav Maga was the top system on my long list when I decided to go for a defence system. Having been working from home for about a year, I was in terrible shape and that quickly started changing! I love the fact that I am learning a skill in a way that is easy to remember and hard to forget. Most techniques are useful and constructive right out the door! Krav Maga will also do a number on your confidence level, flexibility, and stamina! Oh and did I mention that it is literally kick ass!
