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.
