Product Description:
The fundamental aspects of Kapap, the martial arts system developed and utilized by Israeli special forces, are detailed in this handy manual. The defensive tactics, hand-to-hand combat moves, and self-defense methods that compose Kapap are all detailed, with special sections covering striking, grappling, pressure points, and weapon defense. Instructions are also provided for incorporating basic Kapap training methods and techniques into preexisting workout routines.

I picked up this book over the holidays and when I first skimmed through it, thought that it had a lot of potential and I really enjoyed the first few pages that discussed the various principles and concepts behind the teachings of Kapap. However, I have to admit that although I enjoyed the book and was able to get some good information out of it, I was a bit disappointed in the fact that it never really went into any great detail on any of the principles and concepts that it mentions.

This book is a waste of time and money. The techniques illustrated are beyond the abilities of a complete novice and too obvious and simplistic for a more advanced martial artist - i would personally question some of them in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
The book spends a lot of time talking about what a great system KAPAP is and how great the writers are but does not back this up in the body of the book with any meaningful insights or techniques.

I have published reviews of numerous books and DVDs in the martial arts and self-defense fields. One of my favorite combatives topics is Krav Maga and related material.

I found this book to be very basic.If you have any martial arts training at all save your time and money.If you practice a stand up art you may find the ground fighting section beneficial,but even that isn't all that impressive.Kapap is probually a really good martial art,but you aren't likely to see that from this book.

Having been in Martial Arts for 31 years now and having taught for the last 15, I can say that this book will do you NO GOOD.... I bought it with high hopes and was let down. I gave it 2 stars since it does have some good stuff from Jean Jacques Machado, however I thought I was buying a book on Kapap.. Instead the only technical aspects of the book came from BJJ and really didn't have any substance of KAPAP. If you want a good book get the one called Complete Krav Maga as it has actual techniques. ... Read More
