Krav Maga Extreme Survival

“Should you judge a book by its cover? In the case of Krav Maga Extreme Survival, by Gershon Ben Keren, absolutely…The book has plenty of clear colour photos to take you through what to do…For a book about such bad events, which could easily have been gloomy, instead I found Ben Keren’s ending, like the whole book, empowering and uplifting.” —Professional Security Magazine“Written by Gershon Ben Keren, who’s practiced Krav Maga for 25 years, this text covers—as the cover says—active-shooter scenarios, carjackings, home invasions, predator profiling and other aspects of self-defense. It’s 223 pages long and includes numerous full-color, step-by-step photos.” —Black Belt Magazine
