Rarely has one economy asserted itself as swiftly--and as aggressively--as the entity we now know as Silicon Valley. Built with a seemingly permanent culture of reinvention, Silicon Valley does not fight change; it embraces it, and now powers the American economy and global innovation.So how did this omnipotent and ever-morphing place come to be? It was not by planning. It was, like many an empire before it, part luck, part timing, and part ambition. And part pure, unbridled genius...Drawing on over two hundred in-depth interviews, VALLEY OF GENIUS takes readers from the dawn of the personal computer and the internet, through the heyday of the web, up to the very moment when our current technological reality was invented. The book interweaves stories of invention and betrayal, overnight success and underground exploits, to tell the story of Silicon Valley like it has never been told before. These are the stories that Valley insiders tell each other: the tall tales that are all, improbably, true.

Just like most people in the world we all want to be able to defend ourselves against an attacker. Krav Maga was created in the 1930s to help the Jews in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia against unwanted fascists. It wasn't taught in a studio; it was taught by Imre Lichtenfeld to his friends and neighbors so they could defend themselves in the streets against the violence there. Lichtenfeld took what he had been taught in boxing and wrestling and tweaked it into what we know as Krav Maga today. He worked with the Israeli Military to teach their soldiers new skills to help them in combat. Krav Maga has changed and been refined over the years, but the principle remains the same. Krav Maga ideas include: Seeing how important it is and learning to expand on the instinctive responses while under stress. Stay aware of your surroundings while you deal with threats so you can look for escape routes, other attackers, and objects that can be used to hit an opponent. Using easy and simple strikes that are repeatable. Targeting the attack on the vulnerable parts of the body like the liver, fingers, foot, knee, ribs, groin, solar plexus, face, throat, neck, eyes, and so forth. Use whatever object is at hand to hit your opponent. Attack before the opponent can and counterattack as quickly as possible. Continue striking your opponent until they are totally incapacitated. Develop physical aggression and realizing that physical aggression is the most crucial part of the fight. Simultaneous defense and attack. Training might cover the development and study of situational awareness in order to understand a person's surroundings. You will learn to understand the mind and behavior of street confrontations. You will be able to identify any threats before attacks can occur. It could cover ways to handle the verbal and physical methods to stay away from violence when you can. It will teach mental toughness by using controlled fights to strengthen their mentality, so students will learn to control their impulses and don't do anything rash. Learn to attack only when it is a last resort or totally necessary. Krav Maga provides the best self-defense training that focuses on realistic scenarios with quality attention and instruction. Classes are fun, ego-free, serious, and safe. All Krav Maga instructors are professional, certified, and have been trained by the best. If you are looking to learn more about Krav Maga, and are interested in learning more techniques and strategies, please check out my other book, Krav Maga: The Art of Tactical Survival: Tried and Tested Solutions to Real Life Scenarios.
