This is a real gem in combat fighting. It's old, but effective. Makes for a rather good foundation on which to build with more modern methods, if you are in any field using firearms. Rex Applegate's legacy and contributions to humanity are invaluable.

Anyone in the military should read this and own a copy.

The information presented here can be life saving if you find yourself in a tough situation. It most certainly requires some smart and careful practice sessions to get the effectiveness out of it.

This book I'll give three stars too. Much of the hand to hand combat techniques are in Fairbairn's books.

I felt I wasn't reading anything new reading this book.

Also the SAS Extreme unarmed Combat is also a better book for H2H combat.

You can compare the two books to see how you feel about them.

Being a killer. I'm not sure. Better teaching at Fort Brag.

It's a great book. The information presented is probably as valid and useful now as it was when written. Col. Applegate really knew his stuff...his redesign of the F-S knife addressed all of the weaknesses and introduced a number of improvements. Excellent source of material for martial artists, law enforcement or anyone interested in furthering a martial mindset.

It takes me back fifty five years.

Very old material, of some use, perhaps historical interest, but not suitable to a beginning student.

So very interesting to see where the foundations of Marine Corps combative skills came from. Many tactics still preserved today!
