"David Kahn’s books were the perfect blend of tactical instruction and practical application during the COVID 19 quarantine, when his classes were not available. He remains an excellent teacher, with a valuable skill set, at a time when our world is becoming increasingly dangerous.” —Rick William, News anchor WPVI-TV, Philadelphia, PA

 "We recognize [David Kahn’s] high-degree of skill in this discipline and especially Krav Maga's ability to be learned and mastered in a short period of time-enabling our future lieutenants to easily adopt and disseminate these techniques to their own units.” — John R. Stark, Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army, Director of Army Officer Training and Commissioning
