Special Forces Hand-To-Hand February 6, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
When I was in the 7th Special Forces at Ft. Bragg (many years ago) we did not have as well-organized a course in H2H as the one outlined here. At that time the training was closer to Rex Applegate's approach to hand-to-hand combat than the Karate/Tae Kwon Do-oriented style shown in this book. The approach is indeed very similar to Tae Kwon Do and, if the lessons are followed, should give good results for those with some basic training and experience in martial arts or CQC. Best results will come for those who have a partner to practice with and who practice on a regular basis-- at least three times a week. Those with no training or experience should find a reputable instructor in close quarter combat and take lessons.
A caveat: The advanced techniques for disarming someone with a gun, knife, or other weapon are meant as last ditch measures to try, if at all, when there is nothing else to fall back on. They are likely to get you killed if you try them in an actual encounter of this sort. At the very least, one is likely to be cut or shot. If your life is on the line anyway, why not go for it? but I think the books ATTACK PROOF and HAND TO HAND COMBAT are better for these extreme measures; the latter also has the best illustrations I have seen in a book of this type. The photos in the SF HAND-TO-HAND FIGHTING manual are small and sometimes a little dark, but adequate most of the time. All in all, this is a book well worth having. Take a look also at the two books mentioned above. Rex Applegate's KILL OR BE KILLED is still worth reading, too. Remember not to rely on any drill or form in an actual fight! These are for training only. SF HAND-TO-HAND FIGHTING gives you the basis for a good practical application of fighting skills, but when it's a matter of survival, and escape is not possible (e.g., running like hell), go nuts and make the energy work for you. Your training will help. I hope you never have to use these books or this advice!
