Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fighting techniques of the forerunners of the NAVY SEALS During World War 2 it became clear to the Navy that a group of covert raiders would need to be trained to clear the way for amphibious landings in both Europe and the Pacific. With not much more than swim shorts, mask, fins and explosives these commandos were sent in advance of major landings on beach recon missions or to clear underwater obstacles and booby traps. These soldiers were always at high risk of discovery and as such they needed special combat training in order to fight effectively against enemy guards or sentries. This manual was compiled to gather all of the 'dirty fighting' tricks and Jiu Jitsu methods they utilized to fight hand to hand with any foe or opponent; armed or unarmed. Chapters detail numerous defensive and offensive techniques, in a step-by-step manner. This is not for the squeamish, these are brutal and deadly methods used by Navy Raiders and demolition teams to take out guards and sentrys quickly, quietly and with the maximum of efficiency. They include: • Falls and Rolls • Defense against Weapons • Vital Areas • Kicking • Chokes • Escapes • Tying a Prisoner • Club Fighting • Sentry Stalking • Knife Fighting Illustrated with over 110 restored pictures and charts. A must-have for students of WWII special operations or U.S. Navy 'Frog Men.' It is a thoroughly fascinating look at military training in combat martial arts techniques.

Download or read book Hand to Hand Combat written by Francois D'Eliscu and published by . This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francois d'Eliscu taught thousands of U.S. Army Rangers how to fight down and dirty in World War II. d'Eliscu doesn't get the press that Fairbairn and Applegate do, but he did a commendable job writing this book. It is basic, meant for training raw recruits in a short amount of time before sending them to the front, but simple is good when you are in combat, as most combative experts will tell you. D'Eliscu wrote this manual when in France in 1944 organising training at the officers' candidate school at Fontainebleau. Hand to Hand Combat outlined his techniques for hip throws, joint locks, eye-gouging finger strikes, shin kicks, grappling on the ground, and defensive tactics against knife attacks. "Practice for speed and perfection," d'Eliscu admonishes in it. This book is published strictly for historical purposes.

Korean defector No Kum-Sok who defected to Kimpo Air Base on 21 September 1953. His MiG-15 was minutely inspected and was test flown by several test pilots, including Chuck Yeager. It is now in the collection of the National Museum of the United States Air Force near Dayton, Ohio. “This manual has been prepared specifically for the purpose of providing USAF personnel with operating information on the MiG-15.” “Only the information the pilot must know is presented,” “Some procedures which might be considered unorthodox for operational flying of this airplane are recommended because they represent the simplest means of assuring safe flight.”

Download or read book Self Defense written by Wesley Brown and published by Loose Cannon. This book was released on 1951 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hidden Classic of mid-20th Century Defensive Tactics Originally published in 1951, this little known defensive classic is 'the manual' of Wesley Brown's Defensive Combat system as taught to Naval Aviators during World War 2. After a chance encounter at the Chicago World's Fair, he is recruited as a plain clothes officer to a Chicago police department by Col. Isham Randolph (of the crime-fighting Chicago Secret Six). Wesley rose quickly to become the asst. Director of the police training Traffic Institute at Northwestern University. Here he honed his concepts for defensive tactics suitable for police close quarters encounters with the criminal element. With the outbreak of WW2, he joined the Navy and was assigned to create a new hand-to-hand combat program for the Naval Air Corps. The program was so well received that both the Army, and fledgling O.S.S. patterned their courses after it. This course and the techniques in it are immortalized in the U.S. Navy film, "Hand to Hand Combat in Three Parts" which was both produced and stars Wesley Brown, showing his style of rough-and-tumble moves/counter-moves. An amazing and comprehensive look into early 1930's–40's defensive techniques. It deserves a place on any serious martial arts bookshelf. Topics covered include: - Unarmed Opponents - Armed opponents (Pistol/rifle/knife) - Police club use - Wrist Locks and escapes - Grapples, Chokes / escapes - Vulnerable Areas - Hand Blows - Kicks - Throws / Leg sweeps - Defensive moves for Ladies - Control holds, etc. - Training regimens Keywords: wrestling,rough and tumble,knife,baton,club,choke hold,police, OSS

Download or read book The German Armored Division written by U.S. War Department and published by Loose Cannon. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the original German 1940 training documents To better prepare American officers to take on the German war machine, the U.S. War Dept. created this manual to instruct field officers about the structure, and organization of the German army Armored divisions. The idea was to give our forces an education on the makeup, composition, and general tactics of German units they were likely to encounter first in North Africa and later in Europe. Created from a captured Dec. 1940 German training manual, the book details the particular structure of Panzer groups, how they are outfitted, commanded and their specific tactics in both reconnaissance, attack and defense. It also details numerous 'best practices' for logistics, communications, and supply. Overall it gives a very complete overview of how such German units move, fight and react. A unique historical reference for those interested in World War 2 tank warfare and tactics. The book has also been enhanced by the addition of a photo reference appendix showing all the various tanks described by the document.

Download or read book Master at Arms Boy Scouts Merit Badge manual written by Boy Scouts Assoc. and published by Sierra Skies. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The missing manual The Master-At-Arms merit badge was one of the first 14 original Merit Badges of Baden-Powell's Scouting for Boys movement in the U.S. in 1910, but was then discontinued in 1911. Various versions of the original booklets and merit badge requirements continued in both British and US scouting. This is a reproduction of a 1925 version. As many of the original scout activities had their roots in military scouting and fieldcraft, it was not surprising that this badge was based on then popular forms of martial arts of the era. The key requirements were to become proficient in several of the following: Single-stick, Quarter-staff, Fencing, Boxing, Ju-Jitsu, and Wrestling. This booket is a fascinating look at defensive arts training at the beginning of the 20th Century, and it is also still practical for those interested in learning the basics of these now more obscure martial sports.
