Book Description
Gordon E. Perrigard was a Canadian medical doctor who combined his knowledge of advanced ju-jitsu with his knowledge of human anatomy to come up with this devastatingly effective close-in combat system.Arwrology is derived from the old Welsh word 'arwr', meaning an all-out hand-to-hand fighter. Arwrology was originally released in 1943 for use in training combatants for World War II. Martial artists from all over the world quickly hailed its superior fighting methods, and today it remains one of the most highly sought after-and most valuable-fighting manuals in the world.Arwrology is distinctive because it uses a single system of conditioned reflexes based on general body movement for both armed and unarmed fighting. If one method fails to subdue an attacker, a practitioner can effortlessly flow to another technique without exposing his body to attack.Through clear instructions, photos, and illustrations Arwrology shows you how to: Defeat someone armed with a firearm, knife, dagger or clubUse knowledge to overcome brute strengthFall without injury and rise up without using your handsGet out of strangleholds, grips, and other holdsTrain to develop fast reflexes and important fighting muscle

Pages : 134
Book Description
In 1943 the classic book Arwrology: All Out Hand To Hand Fighting by Gordon E. Perrigard M.D. was published. Although one of many books of it's time to put forward a method of close combat for use against the Axis powers, Arwrology was a unique system in its own right. The book itself was destined to become a rare classic because of its content, and the limited number of original copies printed. That status was ensured when, in 1946, officials deemed it too violent for the general public and subsequently banned its sale. In 2001, after several years of study and training in Arwrology, GHCA Founder and Instructor Bob Kasper was granted permission by the Canadian Society of Arwrologists (CSA) to found the American Society of Arwrologists, and given the title 1st Regent (ASA). Soon afterwards, Bob selected seven loyal instructors he had personally trained and together they tested the principles and techniques developed by Dr. Perrigard, culminating with the Arwrology system being fully adopted by the GHCA into their curriculum. Shortly before his untimely death in 2006, Bob Kasper formally passed the ASA and Arwrology system over to one of the seven original instructors, Fred C. Bauer, who was also granted the title 2nd Regent (ASA). As part of his passion to keep the Arwrology system alive, Fred Bauer has compiled this instructional volume on Arwrology in his capacity as 2nd Regent, making it the first official new publication on the subject since the 1943 original. CQB Publications is proud to make available this volume of the Doc's unique fighting system from WW2 giving a glimpse as to how it is being taught today within the ASA and GHCA. It is a worthy addition to any WW2 / Combatives / Martial Arts library.

Pages : 199
Book Description
Why do so many Americans practice martial arts? How did kung fu get its own movie genre? What makes mixed martial arts so popular? This book answers these questions for the first time with historical research. At the turn of the 20th century, the United States enjoyed a time of prosperity but feared that men were becoming soft. At the same time, the Japanese government sponsored research to develop the best fighting techniques for its new empire. Before World War II, American men boxed and Japanese men practiced judo and karate. Postwar Americans began adopting Chinese, Brazilian, Filipino and other fighting styles, in the process establishing a masculine subculture based on physical and social power. The rise of Asian martial arts in America is a fascinating untold story of modern history, from the origin of karate uniforms to the first martial arts themed birthday party. The cast of characters includes circus strongmen, professional cage fighters, an award winning comic book artist, the inventors of judo, aikido and Cornflakes, and Count Juan Raphael Dante, a Chicago hairdresser and used car salesman with the "Deadliest Hands in the World." Readers will never look at taekwondo class the same way again.

Bob Kasper's Individual Close Combat Volumes 1 & 2
Author: Bob Kasper
Publisher: Paladin Press
ISBN: 9781581606850
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
After World War II, training in hand-to-hand combat stopped abruptly, as interest in the Eastern martial arts blossomed. Convinced that these close-quarter techniques, which had been forged in the streets of Shanghai, China, and tempered in the Pacific and European theaters of war, represented the true essence of close combat, and concerned that these skills would be lost forever, a handful of men decided to preserve this knowledge. One of these men was Bob Kasper. A student of the late Charles Nelson, Bob Kasper wrote these two volumes of individual close-combat techniques for his students but never published them. The first volume is on principles and tactics while the second volume concentrates on stance and movement. By offering these two volumes to the public for the very first time, Paladin is not only helping to preserve the techniques designed and battle-field tested by World War II combatives pioneers - a task that Kasper dedicated much of his life to - it is also preserving the work of another close-combat legend, Bob Kasper. This book contains an exclusive new foreword by Kelly McCann, who trained in combatives and knife fighting with Kasper.

Pages : 233
Book Description
Apply the ancient close-combat secrets of the Samurai to modern warfare with this military martial arts self-defense guide. Today's ground soldier may be required to carry up to 60 lbs. of equipment when on patrol, or in any situation where they might be engaging the enemy. Unfortunately, mobility is sacrificed in the name of protection. In close-proximity combat, the modern soldier is at a decided disadvantage compared to his more nimble opponent -- but this is nothing new in the history of warfare. On the battlefields of medieval Japan, the Samurai faced a similar situation. This created the need to devise a new defense method that you can learn from today. In his self-defense guide Modern Hand to Hand Combat, Isler has blended Samurai techniques with the battlefield combat needs of the modern soldier. This book gives step-by-step instructions on how to effectively deal with life and death situations through movements and principles that still hold true. These principle-driven guidelines make for a variety of self-defense applications and are valuable to everyone from law enforcement officers and security personnel to soldiers and military professionals. With almost 300 illustrations and a detailed instructional DVD, the guidelines set out in this book and DVD set can, and will, significantly enhance the warfighter's ability to survive in combat. Topics covered include: Chapter 1) JOURNEY TO CREATION Chapter 2) LESSONS FROM THE PAST Chapter 3) B.P.C. PHILOSOPHY Chapter 4) FOCUSES OF B.P.C. TRAINING Chapter 5) THE BASICS Chapter 6) UNDERSTANDING DISTANCE Chapter 7) WINNING CONCEPTS Chapter 8) EXHAUSTIVE MEASURES Chapter 9) BATTLEFIELD GROUND COMBAT Chapter 10) TECHNIQUE SET 1 To learn how the martial arts of the Samurai can be useful to those in the military and beyond, Modern Hand to Hand Combat is the most comprehensive guide to blending these two systems for optimal safety and effectiveness.

Get Tough!
Author: W E Fairbairn
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN: 9781096350910
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This book, by the man who taught them, shows how the British Commandos fought in the Second World War in unarmed hand-to hand combat. It shows how they won their fights - even against enemies who were bigger, stronger, and armed. Brute strength is not required. This book shows you how to put a thug out of action with your bare hands, so fast he won't know what's hit him. Get Tough is filled with clear, graphic line drawings which, with the easy-to-follow directions, demonstrate the Fairbairn System. The author, Major W. E. Fairbairn, was a tough Police officer who spent 30 years with the Shanghai Municipal Police, where he learned ju-jitsu (Judo), Chinese boxing and other martial arts. He was senior instructor to British Special Forces during the war, and was the co-inventor of the legendary Sykes-Fairbairn Commando knife. While in China he became the first foreigner, living outside Japan, ever admitted to Kodokan Jiu-Jutsu University in Tokyo where he was awarded the black belt, second degree. Combining all the knowledge thus acquired he developed a system that stopped the Shanghai terrorists in their tracks, demoralized the Nazis, and probably proved a decisive factor in the success of Allied Special forces in World War Two. This is a must book for the armed forces, civilian defense groups, police, security guards, and indeed anyone whose life may be threatened.The method of hand-to-hand fighting described in this book is the approved standard instruction for all members of His Majesty's forces. The Commandos, and parachute troops, harrying the invasion coasts of Europe, have been thoroughlytrained in its use. Britain's two-million Home Guard are daily being instructed in its simple but terrible effectiveness. The units of the United States Marine Corps who were stationed in China between 1927 and 1940 learned these methods at my own hands when I was Assistant Commissioner of the Shanghai Municipal Police.There will be some who will be shocked by the methods advocated here. To them I say "In war you cannot afford the luxury of squeamishness. Either you kill or capture, or you will be captured or killed. We've got to be tough to win, and we've got to be ruthless - tougher and more ruthless than our enemies."
