Combatives and me

[Nit]

Have been flicking through the latest version of combatives (downloadable pdfs about 25mb) and I find it a fantastic information base. What has struck me though is the amount of techniques and exercises that I have been learning which are demonstrated in this manual.

I feel so much better about myself and my club knowing that I have a solid and affirmed grounding in these techniques

I recommend that you download and have a read

Thanks a lot, Nit! I downloaded the darn thing, then decided to print it (at work). First the printer ran out of paper, then I had to replace the toner cartridge, then I had pages falling to the floor and I had to recollate them, then my boss walks in and asks me what I'm printing...

Good stuff, though.

Still, as much as I love doing it, I'm still not convinced that it's wise to grapple in a combat situation, but it's interesting to see each technique broken down step by step and have the whys as well as the hows explained.
