Close-Quarters Combat for Police and Security Forces Book by Robert Spear

Internationally recognized martial art theorist and author, Robert K. Spear, has done it again. First he wrote a standard work for military martial arts, then a text for Korean Hapkido, and then a practical guide for hostage survival. Now he brings to bear his fourteen-plus years of experience in the self-defense training arena to write the definitive book on close-quarters combat for physical security forces.

Mr. Spear says, "...I have rarely seen security personnel who could be considered highly trained in close-quarters fighting. They are generally given excellent periodic firearms training; however, most of their hand-to-hand expertise comes from a week or two of academy training, from what they learn on their own, or (most dangerously for them) from what they learn on the streets the hard way"

This book gives the basics of successful hostile force countering and containment at close-quarters. Easy to understand, the techniques have been specifically selected for the needs of the security community's trainers and students. Every policeman and security officer should read it!
