 All Fluff no Filler July 22, 2008
B. Ambrose (Los Angeles CA)
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. This book doesn't.

Apparently, Kapap is an old acronym for Israeli hand-to-hand fighting
so the authors of this book use that term to claim what they're offering predates Krav Maga. And then they proceed to offer a few tidbits of combat principles, Brazilian jujitsu and recycled Krav Maga - none of which is apparently related to the original "kapap" - and do a mediocre job of it.
Disappointing.
Amazon carries much better books on Krav Maga and on Brazilian jujitsu - go to the search bar and look them up rather than spend your money on this one.

Mr. Paul J. Brennan (telford, U.K.)
As a practising kapap practitioner I found the book particularly useful. It is easy to read, well structured and would be an ideal introduction for those looking to take up kapap or those who simply wish to incorporate the concepts into their own martial arts training

I, too, have had the pleasure of training with Mr. Nardia. This book is an excellant review of the great wealth of knowledge that he, and Kapap, offer. I have been in the martial world for over 32 years and I can say that I highly recommend this book to any one interested in Kapap.
a great look @ KAPAP Concepts May 29, 2008

Avi Nardia has tackled a hard job with his usual ease. Teaching self defense and close range combatives usually degenerates into specific techniques that usually don't fit the situations. Avi has broken CRC into conceptual nuggets: and with illustrations has found a way to teach, demonstrate and convey these ideas through the written word to others. The book might look a bit simplistic at first glance but its because it contains broad concepts of use to give one better tools in ones tool box of self defense and Close Range Combat. I teach CRC and martial arts and I think anyone buying this book will be pleasantly surprised and appreciative of what Avi has brought to the table.
