Fighting techniques of the forerunners of the NAVY SEALS
During World War 2 it became clear to the Navy that a group of covert raiders would need to be trained to clear the way for amphibious landings in both Europe and the Pacific. With not much more than swim shorts, mask, fins and explosives these commandos were sent in advance of major landings on beach recon missions or to clear underwater obstacles and booby traps. These soldiers were always at high risk of discovery and as such they needed special combat training in order to fight effectively against enemy guards or sentries.

This manual was compiled to gather all of the 'dirty fighting' tricks and Jiu Jitsu methods they utilized to fight hand to hand with any foe or opponent; armed or unarmed. Chapters detail numerous defensive and offensive techniques, in a step-by-step manner. This is not for the squeamish, these are brutal and deadly methods used by Navy Raiders and demolition teams to take out guards and sentrys quickly, quietly and with the maximum of efficiency. They include:

• Falls and Rolls
• Defense against Weapons
• Vital Areas
• Kicking
• Chokes
• Escapes
• Tying a Prisoner
• Club Fighting
• Sentry Stalking
• Knife Fighting

Illustrated with over 110 restored pictures and charts. A must-have for students of WWII special operations or U.S. Navy 'Frog Men.' It is a thoroughly fascinating look at military training in combat martial arts techniques. Originally published Aug. 1 1945.
