"I am
extremely honored to be associated with this effort to re-educate the
American Soldier on a Modern Combatives approach and would encourage all of
you to "run out and buy this book", and help spread the word about what is
sure to become, in the future when all of these enlisted men reintegrate
into the civilian ranks, the next wave of Martial science, which all of the
Gyms and Martial Art Schools will in some way or another, become influenced
for years to come by this endeavor." Khun Khru

Book Description
One of the highest-ranking instructors for the U.S. Army and Special Forces
demonstrates the critical skills of hand-to-hand combat in this training
manual. When troops on the modern battlefield are forced to fight without
weapons, they fall back on many of the expert techniques made accessible
here for martial art students of all levels. Modern clinching, effective
striking, and grappling techniques are detailed, along with weapon takeaway
strategies and defenses against opponents with knives. The step-by-step
photos and thoroughly detailed movements are intended not only to train
combat troops but also to empower citizens to protect themselves in
dangerous situations.
