BOOKS & MORE: Convincing Arguments

In "Close Combat Training Extreme," author Martin J. Dougherty demonstrates to the reader how elite units are trained in close combat: how they can defeat opponents using various techniques. It explains how military units combine elements from different martial arts to develop an efficient close combat system for a variety of situations: against multiple attackers, for ground combat, for dealing with stabbing and striking weapons, and against attackers with firearms.

The author also provides useful tips for defending against unfair attacks and explains when to use dirty tricks to win the fight. With more than 150 illustrations, "Close Combat Training" is a very good guide for those who want to learn techniques quickly. And don't forget: There is nothing good unless you do it. Real training is half of life, books are just an inspiration. HERE is a PDF where you can preview the book.
