The best of 50 Years of Army Defensive Techniques
In World War 1 & 2 the U.S. Army trained its troops in basic hand-to-hand combat. This book encompasses those techniques and moves as well as those from the Nineties, still being taught today.

There are two manuals in this volume, Unarmed Defense for the American Soldier(1942) and Combatives (1992). Both present highly effective methods of hold releases, striking attacks, defense against bayonet attack, and even sentry removal skills. These are time-tested and proven in actual combat throughout the world, in numerous conflicts.

Well-illustrated, all moves are demonstrated in a step-by-step manner with instructions for their execution. A 'must have' classic for every martial arts/ self-defense student's library. With over 275 photos and drawings.
