Krav Maga Fundamental Strategies by David Kahn
Another YMAA ARC for something I'm gearing up to sling. It was surprising in that it was more about legal abd ethical ramifications of self defense and the use of appropriate force. Krav is a relatively new martial art. Like Aikido, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, and MMA, it's less than a century old. The founder died in 1988. There's some new terminology I had to learn (turns out gunt doesn't mean at all what I what I thought it did) and that general preachiness about Krav this and Krav that, but it was a decent read from a tactical and liable perspective. There's enough value that I can sling it.
Unlike Greg's cancerous list of reads in the launching post of this thread, I'm just going to compile my list and pass it on every time I have an addition. Am I bothered that Greg is kicking all of our collective asses in the ridiculous number of books he consumes? No, not really. I'm bummed that he's not reading any books that helps me to support my lavish lifestyle.
