Beginner Krav Maga: Self Defense Techniques



An Excellent Training Resource for Mr. Michael Hodges!
I have been practicing the martial arts for 38 years and have been teaching for 23 years and I found this and the other Krav Maga DVD produced and taught by Michael Hodges to be excellent resources for the practice of Krav Maga and for anyone who wishes to learn the basics of effective and efficient self-defense. I am also a police instructor and full-time police officer and I am integrating some of these basic, yet effective, techniques into my training program for the officers who serve on my police department.

Mr. Hodges' teaching style is very straightforward and is appropriate for students and instructors who learn from a variety of learning modalities such as Visual (Mr. Hodges shows you the techniques), Aural (hearing - Mr. Hodges explains the techniques), and Kinesthetic (Mr. Hodges has the student actually do the techniques with him).

I am also a university professor part-time and a researcher and have a Ph.D. in Education and from my professional...

Just right for learning confidence and self-defense
I'm a gay man, and I was threatened with death by two complete homophobic strangers. With that in mind let me say this DVD was very helpful. I learned enough basic techniques that give me peace and confidence that I can defend myself if I need to. What comes to mind is the palm strike for someone in front, the elbow strike for attacks from the side, and the importance of posture to de-escalate a tense situation. I know how scared I was when those guys were threatening me, so the purchase price of this DVD is so well worth the confidence to feel safe walking down a public street again. I can safely say, if I met those guys today, I could escape the situation or f them up if it came to that. This is a good training DVD, believe me.

recommendable bk.
Good book, great content, clear, understandable, good basic guide to confirm if want to continue in these dicipline or technique.
