Review - Krav Maga In No Time

It's a brand new year, which means there is plenty of time to try new things including taking a self-defense course. Of course not everyone has time to take a weekly self-defense class. Luckily, for those who have a busy schedule, we can now learn to defend ourselves at home with the Krav Maga In No Time: The Best Home Study Self Defense Course!

The course is created by Guy Dar, the Israeli Krav Maga master! He is also the founder of the full contact Krav Maga, which is used by the CIA, FBI and the Israeli army as it gives you the ability to end a fight in seconds.

The Krav Maga In No Time course is available to purchase on DVD or you can watch it online. The course also comes with the eBooks "Keeping Watch: Strategies for Non Violence Self-Defense" and "Self-Defense for Women: Threats and Strategies."

While I have participated in kickboxing workouts, I have never took a self-defense course of any kind until I tried out the Kra Maga in No Time this week. Guy Dar presents each defense in a simple, but effective way that anybody from any fitness background, regardless of age, can easily lean how to do these moves. He starts out demonstrating the correct way to stand when throwing a punch, so that you can have the perfect balance. Then he shows you the correct way of throwing a punch and how to kick; followed by moves that will show you how to block/defend against almost any threat, including headlocks, knives and sticks. Overall, I have enjoyed trying out the Krav Maga in No Time course as it is a fast approach to learning self-defense moves that anybody can use in almost any situation.
