Hand-to-Hand Combat
Hand-to-Hand Combat is the U.S. Army training manual for Combative Hand-to-Hand Combat (Field Manual 21-150) and includes over 430 pages of great content.
Hand-to-hand combat is an engagement between two or more persons in an empty-handed struggle or with handheld weapons such as knives, sticks, and rifles with bayonets. These fighting arts are essential military skills. Projectile weapons may be lost or broken, or they may fail to fire. When friendly and enemy forces become so intermingled that firearms and grenades are not practical, hand-to-hand combat skills become vital assets.
There are basic principles that the hand-to-hand fighter must know and apply to successfully defeat an opponent. Principles include:
- Physical balance
- Mental balance
- Position
- Timing
- Distance
- Momentum
Chapters include:
- Training
- Close-range combatives
- Medium-range combatives
- Long-range combatives
- Transition techniques
- Sentry removal
- Pugil training
