Review title: Good only if you are a police officer
Product review: Classic, must read book basically because it is a milestone in hand to hand combat manuals.BUT: of the 400+ pages, only the first 50 or so actually speak about unarmed combat, the rest is all about guns,shooting tecs, knife fighting, riot controlling (the book was written when that was a major conflict scenario), immobilizing a prisoner, handcuffing a prisoner etc etc etc....That is, if you are not a law enformcement agent, completely useless, as in a street fight you don't want to handcuff your opponent, you want to beak him the nose and leave !To learn the few basic tecs to strike the opponent, the book is quite accurate and detailed, even more than W.E.Fairbarns "Get tough" , plus the photos are clearer (although black and white).I would say, a must for your combat library, but for training/skill developing, look elsewhere and use other books (I strongly recommend the 2 "Solo training" series)
