Gershon Ben Keren is a 5th Degree Black Belt and Head of
System for Krav Maga Yashir. He has been training in Krav Maga
since 1994, in both Israel and Europe. In his over 25 years of
experience, he has trained with many different trainers and
associations, including some of the Israeli Defense Forces╞ most
elite Close Combat/Krav Maga instructors. In 2010, he was inducted
into the Museum of Israeli Martial Arts by Dr. Dennis Hanover.
Having worked in the security sector, as an operative, trainer and
consultant, his emphasis is on violence mitigation, prediction, and
avoidance. His real world experience, coupled with his academic
background (Master╞s Degree in Psychology and continued
Post-Graduate study in Criminology and Criminal Psychology),
informs the reality-based self-defense training that he provides to
individuals, corporations, and agencies. He lives in Boston, where
he runs his full-time school, and corporate services, as well as
free women╞s self-defense/self-protection training, through Krav
Maga Yashir Boston.
"The approaches highlighted in Gershon Ben Keren's Krav Maga book
provide simple, effective solutions to common and complex
attacks…Whilst no book can replace ongoing, supervised
reality-based training, this book provides a valuable reference for
anyone serious about self-protection. Gershon has sought out and
trained with many of Israel's leading self-defense experts and
combined his findings with his experiences in the military, private
security industry, and a successful martial arts career to produce
an effective approach that is in line with best practices and
proven techniques. This book should be a part of any serious
martial arts and self-defense practitioner's reference library."
--Dr. Gavriel Schneider 6th Dan, author of Beyond the Bodyguard and
Head of System for Gendai Ryu and the Modern Warrior Alliance
"As an ex-military intelligence operator with Special Forces units,
I expect the highest standards from the self-defense school I
choose. I have trained under Gershon for the last nine years and
continue, with his encouragement, to explore other martial arts and
self-defense systems although I have yet to find any as complete,
thoughtful and practical as his. Gershon is more than just a
self-defense instructor, he thinks about and tests his theories
under the harshest conditions and deeply cares about his system and
students." --SR, Private Security Contractor
"As a professional security consultant, I have worked for the UK
and US governments providing protective services to diplomats and
military officers. Prior to this, I served in the UK military on
Special Duties. Whilst in this unit, I was keen on learning more
close quarters combative techniques, and this search took me to
Krav Maga, where I met Gershon. His training, methodology and
knowledge not just of the physical side of violence but the mental
side of it, made me take notice. I have happily worked alongside
Gershon, and his training methods and ideas are continually
developing. This makes him one of the most knowledgeable personal
defense experts I know." --David Ashworth, Professional Security
Consultant
