Two classic martial arts texts in one new book
Combining two complete classics of self defense techniques, you get a great value for your money and have expertly restored versions of these must-have reference works.

Get Tough! is the famous WW2 manual of lethal unarmed combat techniques taught to British Commandos, OSS/SOE agents by Major W.E. Fairbairn, co-inventor of the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife. The methods and moves, sometimes brutal, were designed to be used by Allied agents/Special Forces in life and death situations. Bare hands/knife/clubs/improvised weapons, and prisoner control are all shown in a clear and classically illustrated manner. This eye-opening book is the 'Grandad' of all modern military special forces hand-to-hand systems.

And...the second book, Combato: The Art of Self Defense (1942), by Bill Underwood, is another World War 2 defensive system manual. His unique system is a martial art and self defense system for use by armed forces, law enforcement, and the public. "Combato" techniques can be learned by anyone and are not based on physical strength or athletic ability. The variety of moves/tricks demonstrated are impressive, and even features a section on self defense techniques for women factory workers. An outstanding addition to any martial arts library.
