Reviews"I recommend this book for combatant instructors, martial arts enthusiasts, and laypeople with interest in learning self-defense techniques" -- Maj. John L. Hewitt, US Army, Military Review, As a professional security consultant, I have worked for the UK and US governments providing protective services to diplomats and military officers. Prior to this, I served in the UK military on Special Duties. Whilst in this unit, I was keen on learning more close quarters combative techniques, and this search took me to Krav Maga, where I met Gershon. His training, methodology and knowledge not just of the physical side of violence but the mental side of it, made me take notice. I have happily worked alongside Gershon, and his training methods and ideas are continually developing. This makes him one of the most knowledgeable personal defense experts I know. -- David Ashworth, Professional Security Consultant , "As a professional security consultant, I have worked for the UK and US governments providing protective services to diplomats and military officers.

Gershon has sought out and trained with many of Israel's leading self-defense experts and combined his findings with his experiences in the military, private security industry, and a successful martial arts career to produce an effective approach that is in line with best practices and proven techniques. This book should be a part of any serious martial arts and self-defense practitioner's reference library." -- Dr. Gavriel Schneider 6th Dan, author of Beyond the Bodyguard and Head of System for Gendai Ryu and the Modern Warrior Alliance, As an ex-military intelligence operator with Special Forces units I expect the highest standards from the self-defence school I choose.

He teaches reality-based scenario techniques that are far more productive outside the studio than many martial arts available today. Gershon's expertise will also get you into the proper mindset for effective self-defense. I have practiced various martial arts, and I'm a former marine, but no one has prepared me better for personal security on the street than Gershon. Every class I attend I learn something new. He teaches aggressive, hardcore, comprehensive skills that give you the confidence you need to handle yourself if you're ever in danger. His credibility and knowledge of personal security have taught viewers of local newscasts to become more self-aware." -- Jarrod Holbrook, Television News correspondent, The approaches highlighted in Gershon Ben Keren's Krav Maga book provide simple, effective solutions to common and complex attacks...Whilst no book can replace ongoing, supervised reality-based training, this book provides a valuable reference for anyone serious about self-protection.
