1. THE CONCEPT OF KOBUKRAV

This new expression was created from two words

KOBUTAN + KRAV MAGA = KOBUKRAV

Kobutan is a Japanese self-defence tool while Krav Maga is an Israeli self-defence system meaning contact combat. It does not have exactly established rules. We joined the tool with the system and present them in a whole new approach to the Readers. The presented techniques have been selected based on attacks that happened in reality. We improved and the SUCCESSFUL SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES used in the street and set them in a system.

2. SUCCESSFUL SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES

I have consulted hundreds of policemen, investigation officers, victims and eyewitnesses. My goal was to prepare a list of the most frequent attacks carried out against people in the street. We could establish the most common attack models based on the answers of more than 200 professionals.

After that, I showed these attack models to self-defence professionals, street fighters, martial arts practitioners and asked them to work out appropriate defence techniques for these situations. In many cases, we took the defence method used by the attacked persons as a basis and improved it. These SUCCESSFUL SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES form the bulk of our defence models. These techniques were further improved, refined or enhanced with the help of the keyring.

The involved professionals provided thousands of descriptions and videos about the recommended technical solutions. An amateur and a professional team selected the most appropriate ones from these. We only included those techniques that were recommended by both professionals and the people from the street. Several techniques had to be excluded because they did not meet the most important criteria, i.e. that the used technique should be EASY TO LEARN, EFFECTIVE and SIMPLE.

In fact, the used techniques only enhance our instinctive, automatic defensive reactions. We can gain an incredible amount of extra strength by enhancing our instinctive moves and reactions.

Finally we selected the over 100 defence techniques which, in my opinion, meet the above principles.

A new approach

This is the first book on personal self-defence where the techniques have been created by the people of the street. These are the people who managed to find feasible solutions in hopeless situations. Thanks to these solutions and the SUCCESSFUL SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES, those who were prone to be victims became heroes. If they succeeded, let us give a chance to others as well.

Krav Maga elements

It comes as no surprise to professionals that among the SUCCESSFUL SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES, we find several defensive techniques from Krav Maga - street fight. Krav Maga means contact combat. It was created by Imi Lichtenfeld who was born in Budapest and raised in Bratislava. It takes several years of serious training to learn the more complex self-defence tricks offered by Krav Maga.

However, our goal is to offer you EASY-TO-LEARN, EFFECTIVE, SUCCESSFUL SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES which you can also learn by self-training. It is enough to leaf through this book, read the descriptions of the techniques and learn them by practice. You can practice on your own but also in pairs or in a group. You only learn techniques, no particular fitness or experience in martial arts is necessary. You can learn them with ease, regardless of age or sex.

Of course, a proper warm-up is very important. The better your fitness, the better your chances are for self-defence. If you lack this fitness, you can make up for it with a startling defensive technique. Or, perhaps with a bit of wiliness.

Martial arts consist of set techniques. The key is to learn these techniques to perfection. However, ordinary people do not have the necessary persistence, time and money to become black-belt martial arts practitioners. The set techniques generally do not offer solutions for the model situations of street attacks. We do not want to force the technical elements of a system on the individual. We turn things around. The solutions we offer are personalized practices suited for your body. If someone cannot kick high, we do not recommend that he should learn to kick properly. Everyone should select the most suitable ones from the self-defence techniques described and offered here. Those techniques that suit you the best.

At our website, www.kobukrav.com you can also view online videos about the techniques described in this book and presented in the photos.

One of the most effective defence tool can be a special keyring. Visit our website www.kobukrav.com for the range of products on offer.

The objects of everyday use can also come in handy as defensive tools. These will be presented in a separate chapter.
