*This is the review you want to read*
This book reminded me of my first week of karate, the entire book explains basic strikes, stances, and footwork. If you are looking for more advanced information then buy this manual instead http://www.trueswords.com/military-manual-hand-hand-combat-p-5799.html Which reviews pressure points, joint locks, and good stuff.

i would give it 2 1/2 stars. The information was good. Sadly, the illustrations had bad quality. it was very difficult to understand how to properly execute a technique, but if you are good at reading directions it's a great beginners guide

I just received the book in the mail today and started reading it. I already learned a few new things. I'm sure when I read it more I will be more skilled. Thanks BudK.

Not as good as the military manual hand to hand combat book, but still it shows how to move postions

great if you like martial arts and fighting, lots of practice and you can really fight

It is a very good book that teaches you a lot about where to hit someone if you want them to go down

it is what it is. just karate. but a good book. plain and simple

Great book but the illustrations are somewhat small but other than that a very useful book
