Riassunto

In battlefield situations where soldiers are forced to fight enemies in close contact, superior hand-to-hand combat skills can mean the difference not only between victory and defeat, but also between life and death. This authoritative manual addresses close-combat fundamentals from their history to their current role in modern warfare, and illustrates basic techniques and training methods with detailed photo sequences. The training program discussed in this book?a program specifically developed for and used by the United States Army?draws from many divergent branches of the martial arts and sports worlds from wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to traditional martial arts and Ultimate Fighting. Additionally, it features anecdotes from troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan who used some of these hand-to-hand techniques in combat as well as lessons learned from the battlefield.
