Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)One reviewer wrote that (in his opinion) ground fighting is not practical. I would be willing to bet that this person has never been in a real fight. MOST fights end up on the ground and if you can control your opponent you can defeat (kill) him. As far as the other raters assertaion that "submission" is somehow less than ideal in unarmed combat, I assure you that once you dislocate your opponents shoulder, knee of hip you can kill him at your leisure.
This reviewer also made it sound like this method of combatives is complicated. I will agree that looking at pictures in a book to learn this method can be difficult but you have to remember this is a reprint of a United States Army Field Manual. We use FM's to augment knowlegde that we already have through institutional training. If you have been trained in this method the FM becomes a refresher.
I have black belts in both Tae Kwan Do and Karate and can honestly tell you that a "grappler" who is experienced can defeat a puncher or kicker easily.
My Soldiers (I am a First Sergeant of Paratroopers in the United States Army) all easily learned this form of combatives and are much better preparred for combat because of it.
I only gave the manual three stars because this book is not for everybody. First you need the training and if you have that this is a great refresher.
