Military & Police Combatives Books

Military & Police Combatives, also known as hand-to-hand combat or close-quarters combat (CQC), is a specialized form of martial arts training designed for military personnel, law enforcement officers, and security professionals. Rooted in the practical needs of combat and self-defense, Military & Police Combatives have a rich and storied history shaped by centuries of warfare, conflict, and tactical innovation.

The origins of Military & Police Combatives can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where soldiers and warriors relied on hand-to-hand combat techniques as a vital aspect of warfare. Throughout history, various cultures developed their own systems of combat training, incorporating techniques for striking, grappling, and weapon disarmament.

In the modern era, Military & Police Combatives began to take shape as formalized training programs within military and law enforcement organizations. With the advent of firearms and other modern weapons, hand-to-hand combat training became less emphasized in traditional military training, but remained an essential skill for close-quarters encounters and situations where lethal force was not justified or practical.

One of the earliest proponents of Military & Police Combatives in the modern era was William E. Fairbairn, a British military officer and police officer who developed the Close Combat training program during World War II. Fairbairn's system, which incorporated techniques from various martial arts and street fighting methods, was adopted by Allied forces and proved highly effective in close-quarters combat situations.

In the post-war period, Military & Police Combatives continued to evolve with the development of new tactics, techniques, and training methods. Organizations such as the United States Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Krav Maga program developed their own combatives programs tailored to the needs of modern military and law enforcement personnel.

Today, Military & Police Combatives encompass a wide range of training methods and techniques, including striking, grappling, weapon retention, defensive tactics, and scenario-based training. Training emphasizes practicality, adaptability, and the ability to respond effectively to dynamic and unpredictable situations.

Military & Police Combatives training is essential for military personnel, law enforcement officers, and security professionals, providing them with the skills and confidence needed to protect themselves and others in high-stress and potentially life-threatening situations.
