In the Mastering Krav Maga (Volume I) series, Israeli Krav Maga Association U.S. Chief Instructor David Kahn teaches essential techniques to defend against all manners of unarmed attack from the yellow, orange, and green belt levels of the Israeli krav maga curriculum (beginner to advanced). The DVDs are companions to David's two books (St. Martins), Krav Maga and Advanced Krav Maga.This DVD series was originally conceived and filmed for ""in-house"" student and instructor development. Due to popular demand, this learning material is now available to the public. Review: Law Enforcement/Military Instructor perspective - Bottom line up front. David Kahn and his team are, by far, the best there is, and teach the best version of the best system there is. If you want to arm yourself with the best tools to survive any encounter (Civilian, Law Enforcement (LE), or Military Combat) David Kahn, and the IKMA (GS), are your best option. Historically, development of Self-defense systems and martial arts occurred from the necessities of the existing time-period and social norms concerning violence. For example, Karate for the Samurai or Kali for villagers of the Philippines (whose conflicts were tribal and weapons of choice where whatever they had laying around). Societies developed these systems and martial arts in order to, quickly and efficiently, train Soldiers. This was so they would possess the capabilities to close with and destroy their adversaries in hand-to-hand combat if and when necessary. Imi Lichtenfeld designed Israeli Krav Maga in the 1940s in order to address the modern combatant. Whether dealing with a mugger on the streets, or a foreign adversary on the battlefield. No other system is as modern or effective as Krav Maga. The IKMA (GS) is the only true Krav Maga system under Grand Master Haim Gidon (successor to Imi Lichtenfeld). It is, by far, any agencies best option for training its’ Soldiers and/or LE officers. A single ten-hour seminar with David Kahn, and his team, proved to be worth a year of training in any other dojo I have attended. I have trained on several forms of martial arts and self-defense systems. I always shop around for the best instructor with the most practical training. David and his team are undeniably the best there is. I have driven fourteen hours at a time, on several occasions, to attend training with him. I always leave the seminars absolutely motivated to come back to base and share what I learned with my Soldiers. Krav Maga has grown in popularity in the west in recent decades. There are several different interpretations of the system available in the US (e.g. Warrior Krav Maga /Krav Maga World Wide). Most of them teach substandard techniques, with the addition of cardiovascular endurance training, in order to appeal to those more susceptible to advertising and marketing. The idea being, “Get fit and learn to defend yourself overnight.” While Krav Maga is designed to be simple to understand. There still needs to be much emphasis on the subtle fine points that make any technique effective. Far removed from the source, these schools often sacrifice proper technique for mass production. This can have fatal consequences when someone uses those techniques for actual self-defense. I have also frequented several introductory courses where the facility told me they strictly focus on civilian self-defense. There are three tiers to Krav Maga (Military, Civilian, and Law Enforcement). Any “master” of the system should know and be able to instruct them all. As a Law Enforcement Officer, I also have a firm understanding of the Use of Force (UOF) continuum. I also understand the legal ramifications for not understanding the UOF continuum. David Kahn and the IKMA (GS) are true masters of the system. They will ensure that the student gets every detail and piece of knowledge they require for the techniques they are taught to be effective. Israeli Krav Maga under the IKMA (GS) is also a great plug and play system. If your agency has an existing system where you believe there are gaps in its’ current techniques, or dilemmas which your system does not address, Krav Maga will fill those gaps easily. I have personally found this to be applicable for LE systems, military combatives, and other martial arts/self-defense systems alike. Additionally, if you attend the seminars to get hands on training, and a professional instructors critique on your form (which I highly recommend), the DVDs and books hold nothing back in terms of helping you to refresh your memory. The five books (approximately 1000 pages worth of instructional material) are extremely well articulated and literally spell out every detail you need to know from a strategic approach. They articulate all the subtle nuances, which make a technique work. The four DVD volumes (approximately 27 hours of instructional material) do an excellent job of using a by the numbers approach to teaching and demonstrating the technique, as well as elaborating on key points. For those who have served in an instructor position, in either the military or law enforcement, the previously mentioned materials more than portray a Training Support Package (TSP) or Program of Instruction (POI). In addition, the materials previously mentioned will entirely refresh your techniques acquired by any seminar attended in person with David. Once again, bottom line up front. David Kahn and the IKMA (GS) are by far the best there is, teaching the best version of the best system there is. If you want to arm yourself with the best tools to survive any encounter (Civilian, Law Enforcement, or Military Combat) David Kahn, and the IKMA (GS), are your best option. Review: Best DVDs on Self Defense Ever! - I have studied and trained in a multitude of martial arts and reality based defense systems over the last 30 years (including several different evolutions of Krav Maga). I also own a considerable amount of book and video based material on the subject. The Mastering Krav Maga DVD set by Mr. Kahn is the best instructional material on unarmed personal protection that I have ever owned. The video quality is easily on par with the best production videos on the market with clear sharp picture and sound. Unlike other instructional DVDs, you won't see the same technique repeated 12 times in slow motion. Each technique is explained and demonstrated only a few times allowing you to get more techniques per disc than in other KM DVDs. Mr. Kahn's teaching style is very dynamic and he provides detailed explanations for techniques presented. His movements are explosive and fluid and he provides a great visual example of how each movement should be executed. I really ought to add that Mr. Kahn's books are a great way to supplement your DVD training as they provide additional insights into technique utilization and application. The books also provide a solid training progression to develop your ability to seamlessly integrate your body's combat tools into your defensive response to aggression. Most importantly, the technique content was exceptional. You may find a few techniques reminiscent of older Krav Maga, but much of this material will be new to those who are studying earlier evolutions of the system. Where this material really shines is that key biomechanical issues present in earlier evolutions of Krav Maga now appear to be recognized and fixed, providing the student with a higher probability of success in application. I am anxious to see Mr. Kahns new book on weapon defenses and truly hope he decides to release a companion DVD set. It would be great to see the entire Gidon system committed to training DVD for those of us not fortunate enough to be near a qualified instructor. Anyone interested in Krav Maga, personal protection, or self defense should pick this DVD set up today. You'll be glad you did!

Solid Products! I would buy again...
David Kahn has presented a solid and constructive view of real Krav Maga which is refreshing a gladly appreciated. This is real deal defensive tactics. While this isn't a "blue print" to black belt, Krav Maga isn't really supposed to be such a thing in the first place. Persons wishing to buy a belt in a box type training program will be disappointed. Mr. Kahn has taken the time to line out the main system concepts as well as display the proper way they should be utilized. Combative instruction should be simple, easy to learn, and effective. David has presented this material in a way that does exactly that. I have been training in martial arts for 34 years, I am a military and law enforcement veteran (certified LE Instructor), and I currently own/operate a martial arts/defensive tactics training facility. My personal opinion is that this is one of the best DT DVD sets available to the general public and at a very fair price. Don't hesitate to buy this...these DVD's are a great product.

I ummed and aahed about buying this set of DVDs for a while. I've practised Krav Maga for a few years now, and have bought a few books (David Kahn's included) and bought a few DVDs (I can recommend Ultimate Krav Maga) in my time, so I wasn't sure I wanted/needed another set of DVDs. Especially after reading David Kahn's first book, which I found a bit dry - I just wasn't sure I'd get much out of this set. Wow. Was I wrong. This is an incredible set of DVDs, packed full of intense, blistering Krav Maga. It's definitely aimed at the practitioner, but there's something in here for everyone - no matter what school of Krav you're affiliated with. I can also confirm that the DVDs play fine in my unchipped UK PS3, so are region free.
