Before Krav Maga, Haganah or Lotar, Kapap was the original Israeli fighting art. As the tactical foundation of Israeli defense and security forces, Kapap's face-to-face combat system continues to serve a vital role in modern self-defense. In Volume 3, WEAPONS SKILLS AND DEFENSES, topics include; gun-disarming principles, S.P.E.C. weapon-retention system, deadly mistakes in knife defenses, shared principles of Kapap and Philippine martial arts (featuring guru Roger Abgulos), countering the seven angles of attack, medium- and long-range weapons, using the karambit and empty-hand combat against an assailant. With backgrounds in the Israeli military and as current instructors at the Kapap Academy, Avi Nardia and Albert Timen teach civilians, martial artists, law-enforcement officers and military personnel how to upgrade their toolbox of personal combat skills for any situation.
