Great book
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2023
Recommend only for beginners .NOT for someone wanting to further there tactical or cqb knowledge Overall decent book and info but the info is minimal and limited if you want diagrams directions and pictures of details on how to cqb ,clear rooms, or defend and assault ,or signs and directions how to work with teams or individual you won’t find it in this book. the info is often very vague and rudimentary
Everything in the book is stuff you easily learn on the street or in any other basic self defense book .
Found it to be less cqb and more basic cop handbook it doesn’t expand anything much beyond basic cop tactical knowledge
However the areas explaining about weapons and the uses etc is worthwhile

Its a pretty cool book. A little outdated but has some fundamentals. An interesting read to be sure. Sorry the delivery took so long and I canceled a day before it arrived. They likely fixed their delivery problem by now.

This is an older book that has some outdated concepts in it but it is still a good book to develop Close Quarter Battle ideas and doesn't teach you too many bad habits.

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2013
Doing a little research on this book, the reader will see that it was written almost 30 years ago and published in the US 22 years ago, long before any other books were available on CQB, close quarters battle, close quarters shooting, and tactical operations. It is based on a program developed by Jack Sims, Chidokan 8th dan, at the request of the NZ SAS. The book also features Alan Brosnan, a former assault group commander for the SAS and CQB instructor. This book should be read as much as a historical perspective as a source of insight into basic CQB techniques. As with any book of this nature, it is not possible to learn unarmed combat, martial arts, or CQB from a book. You need to get in the gym and on the range and run the drills literally thousands of times. So for those of you with an interest in the history and evolution of unarmed combat, this is an excellent reference from the 80s and 90s.
