JUDO And Its Use In Hand to Hand Combat - Paperback

by William Caldwell (Author)

A rare example of Naval H2H combat training brought to you by the famous Seabees (Naval Construction Engineers). This manual by William Caldwell is designed to act as an aide-memoire to Naval "Combat Judo" training during the war in the pacific.

This clear and accessible guide showcases strikes, throws, strangles, disarms and use of sentry eliminations.

This is a prime example of wartime Combat Judo whereby eastern and western methods were combined in short-course combatives training for forces personnel.

The guide clearly and powerfully explains the confidence boosting effect of such training and how important it is for all branches, such as the Seabees.

As a land-based contingent of naval forces, and often building infrastructure in places prone to raids, this guide showcases how important close protection skills where in the jungles and on the craggy islands of the pacific front.
