A Tongue-Tip Taste Of What An Exciting New Manual Offers You

WE just completed our new Manual, MENTAL CONDITIONING FOR CLOSE COMBAT AND SELF-DEFENSE, which is available on a quality CD, along with two rare, long out-of-print close combat classics (Carlin’s COMBAT JUDO, and Grover’s DEFEND YOURSELF!). Cost, which includes shipping, is $30. The Manual is a full 214 PAGES, and it is all relevant material! We cannot say when or — at this time — even if this new Manual will be printed in a standard book edition; however, purchasers of the CD can easily read the entire Manual clearly on their computer screens or print out a hard copy. It is copyrighted fully and so reproduction beyond private purchasers’ personal copies is forbidden — but that applies to all new books.

The information and instruction contained in that Manual is valuable, important, and the result of a lifetime of training, teaching, studying, researching, and doing. One former member of the Army Special Forces with whom we shared the manuscript observed: “This is like that timeless classic ‘Think And Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill — but exclusively oriented to the fighting man and close combat student and teacher!”

Sorry to make this sound like a sales pitch, but we are frankly proud of the work we did.

Okay — what we’d like to do now is provide you with a small snippet taken from our new Manual. We hope you like it!

Extract from “MENTAL CONDITIONING FOR CLOSE COMBAT AND SELF-DEFENSE”:—

“So often that we can almost anticipate it as a statistically likely reaction, soldiers and police officers, as well as private citizens, react to that “first real encounter” — assuming they have survived it — by reporting, almost word for word, ‘I couldn’t believe it! It just didn’t seem real. Everything happened so fast, and I had a sense of non reality.’  Some reported this from a hospital bed, after miraculously surviving what could have been a lethal attack. But even in cases where, albeit a moment later than would have been ideally desirable, these individuals finally did act correctly, and succeed in overpowering or otherwise neutralizing their attacker, they report that first shock of non reality.  In other instances, when these individuals froze or ‘couldn’t think fast enough’ but were, fortunately, saved by some  outside intervention that — lucky for them! — was there at the time, they reflected out loud that they  ‘Just didn’t believe that it was really happening!’ And they stood there, in amazement, while their attacker moved on them. Had a fellow soldier, officer, or quick-thinking bystander not been there and not have acted swiftly, the individual would have likely been maimed or killed.

“To the private citizen who is training in close combat and self-defense we say  this: Remember that soldiers and police officers, no less than private citizen martial arts devotees like himself, experience this sense of an attack ‘not being real’; and these uniformed professionals are active in an occupation in which — at least theoretically — they all ‘know that violence can come to them. Despite this, and despite whatever training their basic course may have provided, they still are baffled when the moment arrives.

“Such individuals are not cowards. Nor, in most instances, do they lack the technical skills that would have made their taking effective action possible at the time they were attacked. The plain truth is that they simply didn’t really believe — in their ‘gut’ — that deadly violence would really ever come to them. Their training and conditioning — their technical preparation — was purely theoretical. And that’s what must be eliminated and overcome at the outset. Understand that this is not theoretical. The fact is that DEATH really CAN come to you, in the form of homo sapien aggressors. And unless you accept, believe, and feel the truth of this, you have no solid foundation upon which to build a proper degree of mental readiness for close combat and self-defense.

“Violence can come to YOU. It really can. And it can come at any time, anywhere.”

A N D . . .

“Years ago I read about those marvelous warriors in American military history whose acts of incredible heroism caused them to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Regrettably, many of those who so distinguished themselves forfeited their lives in the process. However, among those who were not awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously were men who, in speaking about the events surrounding the occasion of whatever severe trial they had met for which our Nation conveyed upon them that award, stated clearly: They were scared. If it had not been for the fear that they had felt, and for their immediate acting on and with the power and focus that the fear they had felt provided, they could never have done what they ‘found themselves’ being almost driven to do.

“Fear is natural, normal, and virtually inevitable whenever there is time to appreciate that a given situation is or is likely to be dangerous.

“Learn this and learn it well. You WANT to be afraid in any dangerous encounter! When that jolt of fear grips you, consider it like an injection of superpower; feel it charge you up and know that you are now capable of doing ten times that which you normally would have been able to do before fear took hold of you!

“Far from wishing that your training would make you fearless, meditate upon the fact — whenever you train — that one of the primary reasons you are doing so is in order to insure that when you feel fear in a given emergency, that which you have acquired in the way of technical ability will be available for you to employ with maximum effectiveness — with speed, power, tenacious follow up, and ferocity that would never be possible unless you felt fear!”
