SERGIO NISENBAUM

In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, I was forced to close my gym and pause all classes for nearly eight months. It was a challenging period, but also the moment I needed to begin creating my first book. Not long after, the second volume followed.

 

My passion for drawing began in childhood and never faded. After graduating from college, I spent over two decades working in creative departments at advertising agencies. One day, while sketching a Krav Maga technique, I had a realization: what if I could bring my knowledge of self-defense into book form? The answer came from merging my two lifelong passions, Krav Maga and drawing. What followed was a deep desire to preserve and share my technical expertise, combined with the artistic sensibilities I developed in advertising. After countless hours of inspiration, illustration, and meticulous layout work, the book became a reality.

 

When I first envisioned these books, I imagined myself in the shoes of my students. Volume 1 is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. The techniques are clearly explained through detailed illustrations and straightforward, accessible text, making it enjoyable and easy to follow. Volume 2 continues in the same creative and didactic style. It serves as a practical guide, offering more advanced techniques and self-defense strategies for real-life situations. Each defense is broken down step by step, combining clarity with technical depth.

 

Together, the two volumes complement each other, forming a comprehensive reference for Krav Maga techniques. For practitioners, they offer valuable support and guidance for ongoing training. And for those newly curious about this powerful Israeli self-defense system, the books are an engaging and informative introduction.
