Krav Maga emerged from the Israel Defense Forces. It was then transformed into an integrated system of self-defense, fighting tactics, and VIP protection that meets the needs of government units as well as civilians, including men and women of all ages. This inventive new Krav Maga title, covering the yet-unknown inner work of the system, has been discreetly prepared over the last few years and relates to our classic bestselling Krav Maga book, How to Defend Yourself against Armed Assault, which has so far been published in twelve languages, including Japanese and Korean. As George S. Patton, the celebrated US Army general, said, “Now if you are going to win any battle you have to make the mind run the body.... When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired.... You've always got to make the mind take over...and keep going.” This innovative Krav Maga book depicts cutting-edge techniques and training methods for martial artists, and was tailored for law-enforcement and military personnel. It covers the most sensitive core topics that have proved to be highly applicable in professional and personal situations alike. Combat Mindset & Fighting Stress was prepared by Master Eyal Yanilov, who is the most distinguished successor of Krav Maga’s founder, Imi Sde-Or, and wrote the first Krav Maga book with him. Yanilov coauthored this latest work with his prominent disciple, Dr. Ole Boe, a Norwegian special forces fighter and psychologist. The book’s editor and publisher, Zvi D. Morik—the official publisher of the original Krav Maga series, and a direct student, assistant, and friend of Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or for over thirty years—considers it to be the most pioneering and revolutionary work among current Krav Maga literature. An English-language edition was co-published in spring 2020 with Meyer & Meyer Sport UK. A Chinese edition has been scheduled for publication in Fall 2024.

La méthode a été adaptée pour les civils, de sorte que quiconque, quelque soit son âge ou son sexe, ou même sa capacité physique, peut l'utiliser efficacement. Sur la base des réactions naturelles du corps humain, la discipline est facile à apprendre et à exécuter, et pratique à utiliser. Le Krav Maga est rapidement devenu populaire et a obtenu la reconnaissance des experts du monde entier.

Conçu dans un format accessible, étape par étape, le livre traite des principes de base, de la sécurité à l'entraînement, de l'échauffement, de l’assouplissement et la flexibilité jusqu’aux principes d'attaques, de posture et de positions de départ. Les auteurs proposent des stratégies pour chaque scénario imaginable : la défense à coups de poing et à coups de pied, comment se libérer d’un étranglement, d’une prise de tête et d’une prise nelson, de saisies, de coups de poing, de projections, et plus encore. Cet ouvrage, soulignant également les fondements psychologiques de la discipline, complète son utilité en consacrant des sections à l'entraînement mental, aux points vulnérables, aux cas de multiples agresseurs et les problèmes d'auto-défense particuliers aux femmes.

Krav Maga, developed by Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld) since the 1930s, was once a method of hand-to-hand combat strictly confined to security agents and members of the MOSSAD and elite IDF units.

Start-ups and Magic in the Holy Land Roni Einav & Zvi Morik Eric Torrance and Ruth Lourie are two lovely American college graduates in their early twenties who met during their last year in college and quickly became a couple. The following summer, they plan to vacation together to Israel, the start-up unicorn valley and cradle of the world’s major religions. They look forward to an exciting journey. Eric, the third son of a New York Wall Street businessman and a stage performer, both of the Protestant faith, studied applied mathematics and computer science at Columbia University. Later, he moved to Berkeley, California, where he planned to earn his master’s degree and hoped to join the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley. Ruth is the elder daughter of a Jewish family from Los Altos, California, whose father was an Israeli navy officer and is currently a dentist, and her mother a Jewish American high school Spanish teacher, originally from Santiago, Chile. Ruth studied anthropology and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and is keenly interested in exploring ancient occult knowledge in Israel. In Tel Aviv the couple enjoys meeting Ruth’s father’s old-time friend, a leading start-up founder and investor with proven success who is ready to guide them and help Eric find his way into Israel’s high-tech ecosystem. While touring the country, the couple manages to explore other exciting magic worlds in Israel and meet a host of intriguing characters, including a powerful Kabbalah mystic in holy Safed, a terrifying Arab woman who tells their fortune, an expert of the secret Druze religion, peaceful Ahmadi Muslims in Haifa, and Good Samaritans on Mount Gerizim. The couple even experiences a Christian miracle at St. Peter’s Church in Jaffa, learns about the Neolithic sites of sun worshippers in the Golan, and is initiated into the original Israeli self-defense Krav Maga system. During this spiritual quest, Ruth and Eric encounter a series of hair-raising experiences and daring adventures—which they barely survive. Upon transitioning from vacation to professional work, they meet on October 7, 2023, with an agitating turn in their journey, when Hamas terrorists invade Israel in a bloody surge of violence against innocent civilians. Ron Weintraub is one of the first pioneers who initiated the myth of Israel’s high-tech industry, aka “Start-up Nation,” in the 1980s. Born to a modest blue-collar family in northern Tel Aviv, where he grew up and was educated, he learned that he could only count on his own skills and knowledge. Weintraub graduated with a degree in engineering and operations research from the Technion in Haifa, a highly acclaimed technical institute, and worked as a system analyst for Israel’s cutting-edge security infrastructure. After he followed his father’s advice to run his own business, Ron broke all Israeli records when he sold the 4th Dimension Software in 1999 for $675 million, a unicorn in modern terms, to BMC Software in Houston, Texas. Despite his impressive success, Weintraub didn’t slow down or retire. Instead, he kept busy and remained actively involved in various technology start-ups, founding more than thirty high-tech companies, including Jacada, Mend (formerly White Source), Cyboard, Guidde, and Eurekify. His dramatic and risky life story was depicted in Nordau to Nasdaq, which was translated and published in several languages. Ron Weintraub is married to Matia, an architect and town planner who also graduated from the Technion. They have raised four sons, all of them active in the start-up or academic scenes. They hope that their gifted grandchildren will also follow in their footsteps. Zvi Morik is a seasoned international publisher and editor with a solid academic background from Tel Aviv University in mathematical economics, stochastic processes, operations research, and game theory. His company, Dekel Publishing House (est. 1975), was initially an academic publisher that then branched out into various popular fields, such as martial arts and leisure activities. Its flagship product, the Israeli self-defense Krav Maga series, was successfully published and translated into English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and most European languages. Having noticed the key role that start-ups play in Israel’s economy and their benefits to society, he was delighted by the opportunity to write this book with Roni Einav, his charismatic youth movement instructor. Morik believes that this book will help interested readers to better understand the hidden magical facets of Israel as well as the spirit of its dynamic and often enigmatic modern start-up scene. Zvi Morik was born at an UNRRA DP camp in Odenwald, Germany, and immigrated with his parents to Israel as a baby. He is married to Pnina Ophir, a renowned Israeli copywriter. Their son, a Middle East expert, works as the export manager at Dekel Publishing House. An English-language edition has been scheduled for publication in Fall 2024. 176 pages, 15x 22.5 cm

Cortázars Hauptwerk gilt als bedeutendster argentinischer Roman und ist ein Meilenstein der Weltliteratur. Im Zentrum steht der Argentinier Oliveira, der zusammen mit seiner Geliebten Maga einem Künstlerzirkel der Pariser Bohème angehört. Schriftsteller, Künstler und verkrachte Genies debattieren in dem ›Klub der Schlange‹ über Kultur, Philosophie, Liebe und Jazz. Für den zynischen Oliveira ist Maga so etwas wie die Unschuld des Lebens, reine Sinnlichkeit. Doch alles ist in Auflösung begriffen: der Klub zerfällt, Maga verschwindet, und Oliveira wird des Landes verwiesen. Zurück in Buenos Aires, imaginiert er sich in der Frau eines alten Freundes seine verlorene Maga. Immer tiefer verstrickt er sich in seine Wünsche, die allmählich wahnhafte Züge annehmen ... Spielerisch ebnet Cortázar dem Leser einen Weg durch das Labyrinth dieses einzigartigen Romans und macht ihn mit jeder Seite mehr zu seinem Komplizen, denn bei »Rayuela« handelt es sich laut Cortázar um zwei Bücher in einem: Das erste mögliche Ende ist nach 56 Kapiteln erreicht, aber in den darauf folgenden Kapiteln, durch die man wie im Himmel-und-Hölle-Spiel springen kann, findet der Roman immer wieder andere Fortsetzungen.

Der ›Klub der Schlange‹ wird von dem Mate trinkenden Oliveira, einem Argentinier, und seiner Freundin ›Maga‹ dominiert. Sie kommt aus Uruguay; für den geistig gespaltenen, zynischen Freund ist sie so etwas wie die Unschuld des Lebens, sinnliche Identität. Aber er verliert sie (wie, warum, ja, das müssen Sie schon lesen). Der Klub zerfällt, Maga verschwindet, und Oliveira, von der Polizei bei einem öffentlichen Sexualakt mit einer Clocharde ertappt, wird ausgewiesen. Zurück in Buenos Aires, trifft er seinen alten Freund Traveler wieder, in dessen Frau imaginiert er sich sehnsüchtig seine Maga.

Morris outlines the strategy for victory on three fronts: MAKE CERTAIN(!) more legal, eligible voters cast ballots for Republicans, and that their votes are not offset by a torrent of illegal ballots. Morris says a new group of Trump voters are emerging who will create a New Majority. The Republican candidate in 2024 will be, AND MUST BE, Donald J. Trump. Accept no substitutes. DeSantis is not ready for prime time. Morris explains why. THE WINNING (TRUMP) MESSAGE: The Democrats will transform America into a nation none of us will recognize by destroying social, cultural, economic, and political freedoms. Morris says time is short. This election really is critical. With the election of 2020, everything pundits knew—or thought they knew—is obsolete in this new era of massively higher turnout. Read THE RETURN to find out how conservatives can take advantage of the new rules to make America great again!
