      Introduction

      This isn’t simply a book about Krav Maga, but one that teaches you how to use Krav Maga in real-life situations. There is a huge difference between knowing how to “mechanically” perform a technique and being able to actually get that technique to work during a real-life confrontation. If you don’t understand how violent situations occur and develop, and the situational components that accompany them, it is unlikely that you will be successful in dealing with physical violence, however many techniques you may know. Rather than simply present an encyclopedia of techniques, I have tried to demonstrate what real-world violence looks like and how Krav Maga can be used to deal with it. This is not a book about techniques, but about solutions to violence—which may be non-physical as well as physical. To this end, I have tried to employ not only my firsthand experiences of violence (and those of my contemporaries and colleagues), but also academic research I have been involved in and privy to, along with that which is available in the public domain. I firmly believe that it is important not to limit what you teach to your own experiences, however broad you may believe they are, but to ratify and compare them to those of others, and to that which has been academically proven. Too often, the self-defense and personal-safety industry teaches, and presents, what are merely good ideas and well-intentioned strategies and tactics, which may not have any solid basis in reality.

      The techniques and situations described in this book are aimed at educating the reader as to how different types of violent situations develop and play out. They are not designed to be taken as blueprints that accurately describe and reflect every situation that you might encounter. In 99 percent of mugging scenarios, for example, handing over your wallet to an assailant pointing a gun at your head will be the most effective solution; however, if they have a finger on the trigger and their hands are shaking, due to either nerves or withdrawal (most muggings occur to support a drug habit), it may be safer to perform a disarm immediately in case they inadvertently shoot you. The situation determines the solution; there should never be a set of rules you blindly follow. Because of this, you need to understand the dynamics of violence, including how different aggressors are motivated and operate—the same knife threat may be applied by individuals with different motives, and so may require different solutions. If you don’t take this into account in your training, and simply treat a knife threat as a knife threat, you are not training for reality.
