Recensioner

The world's special forces are renowned for their superb fighting skills. Using the latest weaponry and equipment, they train to dominate and destroy the enemy with all the firepower they have available. Yet weapons can be lost, damaged, or run out of ammunition. It is at these times that special forces soldiers rely on their formidable skills in unarmed combat.

Military unarmed combat takes the world's most-lethal marial arts techniques and combines them into one fighting package. They require devastating punches, kicks, and chokeholds for attacking, and nimble footwork and strong blocks for defense. From methods of power-punching to defending against a knife attack, Martial Arts for Special Forces discusses what makes military unarmed combat different form other martial arts. The book gives step-by-step accounts of the fighting techniques taught to the elite, and looks at the combat systems of some of the world's most famous units.
