The Incomplete Guide to Modern Krav Maga

In a space full of tradition, theory, and marketing, The Incomplete Guide to Modern Krav Maga exists for one reason—to build fighters, not followers. This isn't a "system" manual, and it doesn't promise secrets. Instead, it offers an honest, experience-based approach to preparing for violence—on your feet, on the ground, with weapons, or against them.

With more than 500 training photos and a curriculum that spans beginner to advanced levels, this guide offers:

Clear, principle-based technique breakdowns
Progressive levels
Coaching insights for students and instructors
Practical context for real-world threat scenarios
Mindset and movement strategies that apply under pressure

Author Ryan Hoover draws from decades of coaching civilians, law enforcement, and military personnel across the U.S. and abroad. The book reflects his mission to make people harder to harm and to challenge the status quo of what self-defence training often becomes.

Featuring a foreword by Raul Martinez Jr. and Chad Lyman—both seasoned professionals in violence management—the book provides perspectives shaped by real-world necessity, not martial arts mythology.

The Incomplete Guide to Modern Krav Maga is for anyone serious about honest training—students, coaches, affiliates, and anyone who refuses to outsource their safety.

This is a field guide. A call to action. A return to what matters.
