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.

Complete Book of Urban Combatives
Author: Lee Morrison
Publisher: Paladin Press
ISBN: 9781610048842
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Complete Book of Urban Combatives is based on what Lee Morrison teaches in his Urban Combatives (UC) curriculum. Morrison formed UC after 22 years of researching various Asian and Western methods of combat, incorporating the teachings of W.E. Fairbairn and E.A. Sykes, Charles Nelson, Geoff Thompson, Bob Kasper, and Kelly McCann, to name just a few. Morrison's reality-based UC is neither a sport nor an art. It is designed to counter street violence. Having been in his share of real blood-and-snot fights, first as a somewhat misguided youth and later as a doorman at pubs and nightclubs, Morrison knows that 30 seconds on the street is worth three years in the dojo any day of the week. His hard-earned experience also taught him that no one system has all the answers, necessitating that you keep an open mind and stay on the cutting edge of combatives. At UC, the essence of good self-protection is threefold: Master a few well-honed personal security concepts. Add a realistic understanding of your enemy. Gain an understanding of fear and how you will react under pressure. In this book, Morrison includes attribute-developing drills to help you develop these and other key combatives principles, as well as the combative mentality that must accompany every aspect of your training. The goal is to provide you with a functional game plan that can be tapered to your specific needs, whether for personal protection, or for law enforcement, military, or executive-protection duties.

American Arwrology
Author: Fred C Bauer
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780954949433
Category :
Languages : en
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.
