I borrowed "
Krav Maga" by David Kahn from Hillhead library. Krava
Maga is a martial art developed for the Israeli self defense
forces. The book emphasized punches from boxing and low kicks. There
was a small amount of work on grappling. I thought that some of the
blocks looked a bit weird and slow. It seemed fairly practical, but I
guess a more experienced eye would see faults in the technique.
