Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Bradley Steiner self-published The Tactical Skills of Hand-to-Hand Combat (Self-Defense) in the mid-1970s, it sold out two sizable printings within eight months. In it, Steiner outlined the 12 tactical principles of self-defense from his American CombatoTM system, which he had created in 1975 and which he still teaches today. A fusion of World War II close-quarter combat, traditional martial arts and realistic self-defense – incorporating lessons from Rex Applegate, W.E. Fairbairn, E.A. Sykes and Charles Nelson, among others – Steiner's program also included modern weapons and the excellent (if unorthodox) "dirty tricks" of alley, street and prison fighting, with which he had become familiar through his training of and association with New York Police Department officers. An entertaining and enlightening new introduction by the author provides a concise and illuminating history of the early days of self-defense training in the United States. Paladin Press is pleased to add this legendary self-defense manual to its Combat Classics collection.
Download or read book The Seven Strategies of Hand to Hand Combat written by Ernest Emerson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-04-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a book about techniques. Black Belt Hall of Famer and Tier One tactical instructor, Ernest Emerson opens the doors to the previously hidden Strategies, Tactics, and Mentality of the world''s deadliest warriors, giving you the tools to upgrade your training in any system, into a truly effective program of combat ready skills. Emerson''s genius is in being able to break down human conflict (combat) into its most basic component parts and then explain them in terms that make perfect sense. Then in turn, he gives you the ability to train and supercharge those components individually so that when they are reassembled the result is an Abrams tank powered by jet engines. But, if you''re looking for a book on how to block a punch, you won''t find it here. This is about giving you the means to create a supercharged capability to take what you already know to the elite level, ready for actual combat. The difference between tier one operators and the rest of us is not that they know more techniques or possess secret skills. They know the same things as we do. They just know how to do them much better. Emerson takes you into his classroom to teach you the real secrets, the forbidden knowledge of the warrior elite, America''s Special Operations and Black Ops Units. The problem with training for real-world hand-to-hand combat skills is that almost all martial arts are over 200 years removed from actual combat and have been softened up or "sporterized" to be palatable to the general public. The difference between conventional training and combatives training is defined by two simple words; intent and intensity. Each needs the other to be maximally effective and conventional martial arts lack both. Without truly knowing if something will actually work in live combat, how can an instructor teach combat skills to someone whose life may depend on those skills? If you are ever in a situation where you''re face-to-face with pure evil, and you''re not both physically and mentally prepared for violent, deadly combat, then that is the day you will likely die. The author shows that you must be able to bring violence of action against the bad guy to such a degree that it doesn''t just counter his attack, but destroys him, for attempting to do you harm. You will learn how to evaluate your current training against the criteria of the perfect technique, to judge everything you do as to whether it will work in real combat or not, and avoid wasting your valuable time doing things that are of no value. Learning and applying principles and concepts outlined in this book will give you the confidence you need, to never again wonder "Will this really work or Can I do this? You will learn that the true mastery of fighting skills is not just based on confidence in the techniques but ultimately in the confidence you have in yourself. Some of the subjects covered in detail include; 1. The principles, strategies, and tactics of combat2. The physical, physiological, and psychological effects of combat on the human body and how to use them to your advantage3. The 3 Laws of Combat and the 6 Instinctual Triggers4. The high art of preemptive self-defense5. The importance of being able to distinguish between capability and capacity Combative fighting skills is not a martial art. It is hard, intense, painful training along with the development of the Warrior Mindset. Without that mindset and the iron will to win, you are only using half of your power. The other half is in the mind. You will learn how important it is to never neglect one for the other. Ernest Emerson has worked with members of the Naval Special Warfare Community, Navy SEALs for over 25 years. He carried a DOD top secret clearance for 15 years. He is the owner of Emerson Knives, Inc. and the Black Shamrock Combat Academy in Los Angeles California.

Download or read book Hand To Hand Combat and the Use of Combatives Skills written by United States United States Military Academy and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-08 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite technological advances, hand-to-hand combat remains a persistent aspect of the contemporary operating environment (Wojadkowski, 2007). To develop a more detailed understanding on the use of hand-to-hand combat, the researcher analyzed 30 Post-Combat Surveys administered to US Army Soldiers from 2004 to 2008 after their return from deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. 216 out of 1,226 Soldiers (19.0%) reported using hand-to-hand combat skills in at least one encounter. The Soldiers descriptions indicated that hand-to-hand combat occurred in a variety of tactical situations and that the most common skills employed were grappling techniques (72.6%), followed by the use of weapons (e.g., rifle butt strikes; 21.9%); with striking as the least reported skill (i.e., punching and kicking; 5.5%). These results further reinforce that hand-to-hand combat remains a relevant demand and the US Army should continue such training with an emphasis on grappling skills practiced across a variety of performance settings.
Download or read book Modern Hand to Hand Combat written by Hakim Isler and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apply the ancient close-combat secrets of the Samurai to modern warfare with this military martial arts self-defense guide. Today's ground soldier may be required to carry up to 60 lbs. of equipment when on patrol, or in any situation where they might be engaging the enemy. Unfortunately, mobility is sacrificed in the name of protection. In close-proximity combat, the modern soldier is at a decided disadvantage compared to his more nimble opponent -- but this is nothing new in the history of warfare. On the battlefields of medieval Japan, the Samurai faced a similar situation. This created the need to devise a new defense method that you can learn from today. In his self-defense guide Modern Hand to Hand Combat, Isler has blended Samurai techniques with the battlefield combat needs of the modern soldier. This book gives step-by-step instructions on how to effectively deal with life and death situations through movements and principles that still hold true. These principle-driven guidelines make for a variety of self-defense applications and are valuable to everyone from law enforcement officers and security personnel to soldiers and military professionals. With almost 300 illustrations and a detailed instructional DVD, the guidelines set out in this book and DVD set can, and will, significantly enhance the warfighter's ability to survive in combat. Topics covered include: Chapter 1) JOURNEY TO CREATION Chapter 2) LESSONS FROM THE PAST Chapter 3) B.P.C. PHILOSOPHY Chapter 4) FOCUSES OF B.P.C. TRAINING Chapter 5) THE BASICS Chapter 6) UNDERSTANDING DISTANCE Chapter 7) WINNING CONCEPTS Chapter 8) EXHAUSTIVE MEASURES Chapter 9) BATTLEFIELD GROUND COMBAT Chapter 10) TECHNIQUE SET 1 To learn how the martial arts of the Samurai can be useful to those in the military and beyond, Modern Hand to Hand Combat is the most comprehensive guide to blending these two systems for optimal safety and effectiveness.
Download or read book Hand to Hand Combat written by Francois D'Eliscu and published by . This book was released on 2023-07-12 with total page 0 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.
