Book Subtitle | Ninja Tactics and Methods for the Modern Warrior |
Book Description | Modern Ninja Warfare takes a contemporary look at the stealthy methods of the Ninja (Shinobi) and how they can be employed to counter modern security threats. This book provides an ideal overview of Ninjutsu techniques for security personnel, military, Special Forces, military history buffs and anyone serious about learning how Ninja tactics can be applied to the modern world. Ninja historian Antony Cummins, himself a skilled martial artist, takes a detailed and realistic look at the Ninja, their methods and their role in the medieval Japanese military, as well as how they compare to today's Special Forces and covert military groups. The chapters include a detailed look at the defensive strategies, engagement against specific threats, intelligence gathering, territorial concerns, mental focus and the spiritual mind-control techniques of these invisible warriors. With over 100 striking illustrations that vividly portray the Ninjas' secret world, this book shines new light on their shadowy methods. In the process, the mythical image of the Ninja is washed away revealing the reality of these commando-spies of medieval Japan. |
Editorial Review | David Kahn was able to significantly improve the team members' force protection posture and lethality in the event of a life-threatening altercation. The training provided was a highly valuable complement to the team members' pre-existing abilities, as all [members] were able to develop and improve their skills in defense against unarmed attackers, attackers armed with knives or firearms, multiple attackers, and vehicular abduction tactics. Not only did David and Poodie have a wealth of knowledge applicable to a wide variety of unarmed combat scenarios; it was clear that they are continuously doing research and staying informed about emerging threats to US service members in the contemporary operating environment, studying trends and TTPs among potential adversary groups, and developing ways to counter these constantly evolving threats, within the framework of the krav maga system. I would highly recommend continuous future training programs with the IKMA (Gidon System) for all US service members deploying overseas as well as law enforcement officers working domestically in any environment in which they are exposed to the threat of violence.--Joshua W Curtis, MSG, RIARNG, United States Army 19th Special Forces Group Operations NCO "David Kahn is a prolific author of books and videos on the Israeli art of krav maga, and his newest book, Krav Maga Combatives: Maximum Effect is not only a supplement and complement to his previous krav maga books and video instructional materials, but also an excellent stand-alone volume that distills krav maga's core combatives into easily digested and understood principles and techniques, and then explains how to apply them for maximum combative effect when forced to physically defend oneself. The unique teaching in this volume, that sets this book apart from many martial art books, is the foundation of principles, especially that of attacking an opponent as fast and hard as one can, in the most effective manner possible, while utilizing a continuous attack principle called retzev (or continuous combat motion). He not only illustrates and teaches principles along with effective combative techniques, but he also shows how to combine them in a continuous attack in order to be most effective. For any student of krav maga, combatives, or self-defense, this text deserves to be studied and applied to your training to obtain maximum effect when it comes to counterattacking and neutralizing physical threats against you or those you must protect."--Alain Burrese, J.D., author, 5th dan Hapkido, former army sniper "On behalf of the 308 RQS and the USAF SERE community, I would like to thank you [David Kahn]. Your ability to instruct practical self-defense tactics and portray true hand-to-hand combat violence of action in realistic scenarios is one of the best I have seen. Your military specific "lethality" training is qualitatively unique and different from any other courses we have attended. I hope and look forward to working with you in the future, not only to improve my knowledge of combatives, but also to improve the whole Air Force Special Operations Community!"--Michael D McCune, SSgt, SERE Specialist, USAF "Bottom line up front. David Kahn and his team are, by far, the best there is, and they teach the best version of the system there is. If you want to arm yourself with the best tools to survive any encounter (civilian, law enforcement, or military combat), |
