The highly effective self-defense and close combat system Krav Maga is used by special forces of all kinds, but it is particularly suitable for women, as the techniques require minimal physical effort and are very effective. They are based on our natural reflexes and reaction patterns, specifically exploiting the weaknesses of the attacker. This book by Tom Madsen focuses on concrete self-defense situations and demonstrates both quick escape and defense techniques as well as effective counterattacks – from beginner to advanced levels.
