Great student hand book
This is a great supplement to any student that is taking Krav Maga. Its impossible to get "it" all in class and having something to use as a manual at home is an asset to your training. Most instructors I have talked to also have this book and it covers a lot of what is in the instructors manual. its not all the trade secrets mind you but trimmed down and explained in a way that is perfect ...

In FEDOR, Fedor Emelianenko, Arguably the World's Best Fighter, Captures the X-Factors of Fighting.
Written by Jacob Regar There is no one hundred percent fail-proof recipe for unarmed combat. Practitioners must learn all they can to prepare themselves for any possible fighting scenario. Techniques alone do not ensure victory in the modern fighting chess match that is MMA. Subtleties like footwork, combinations set up off of evasive movements and offensive feints, and timing, are the essence ...

A Really Humorous Book, Just Don't Take it Too Seriously
A friend gave me this book for Christmas this year because she knew how much I enjoyed ranting about politics. While it is not truly a self-help book, and I doubt anyone will win a fight with a conservative by following its directions, it is an enjoyable little diversion that made me laugh. Daniel Kurtzman is a good satirist and his jabs are hilarious. For instance, he divides the conservative ...

Back to the Basics!
Well it's finally here! The long awaited 5th edition. It was worth the wait. They went back to the basics and didn't miss a beat. All the things they took out of the 4th edition are back plus more and it's well explained. They covered each subject in more depth than ever before. In this particular edition they added first aid for firefighters and Haz-mat/Decon. You won't be a Haz-mat tech or an ...

"Damn, that SOB is coming up fast!"
I've rarely read as gripping, horrifying, and inspiring a book as Ken Wells' story of what happened when The Storm hit the low-lying bayou parishes of St. Bernard and Plaquemines. As a reporter for the "Wall Street Journal," Wells, himself a Louisiana native, saw the devastation in the two parishes immediately after Katrina. His The Good Pirates of the Forgotten Bayous is an oral history of ...

Senator with a Temper
Several times in "Worth the Fighting For", the senator notes that he has a quick temper. It is an inspiring book, however, I do wonder how effective he would be in the White House given his self acknowledged temper. Author of: Mr. NewHeart (New Heart): Heart Attack to Transplant and Beyond You may preview a free copy of my next book if you Google "david hollar the face of war."

Well Researched and thought out
Loaded with the latest Research and many years of practical experience, made this book such a beleivable read, a book I can reference and read over and over again, I specifically used a pink highlighter to zoom in on all the important points, which runs rampant without the whole book. If you are a person who wants valid, clear information on how to take care of yourself for the rest of your life ...
World War II Street-Fighting Tactics (Elite)
Stephen Bull
Osprey Publishing

In a continuation of the tactics mini-series, this new book describes and analyzes the physical tactics of the close-quarter fighting that took place in the ruined cities on both the Western and Eastern Fronts of World War II. Street-to-street fighting in cities was not a new development, but the bombed-out shells of cities and advances in weaponry meant that World War II took it to a new level of savagery and violence. New tactics developed ...
