Impact Weapon Combatives 2nd edition is a groundbreaking, incredibly detailed and inclusive go-to book on Impact Weapons. This volume adds approximately 80 additional pages to the first edition and has been updated to address training needed for our times more effectively. This is the training course about you holding a stick in your hand and blocking, striking, and grappling against empty hand attacks, against other impact weapons, against edged weapons, and against some gun threats. Hock’s involvement with the stick/baton spans five decades dating back to the early 1970s when he first entered the U.S. Army Military Police Academy. His book covers history, theories, and science about the impact weapon, stress quickdraws, using the closed expandable baton as a weapon, all single-hand and double-handed strikes, all single and double-handed blocks, both old-school and new military and police baton defensive tactics, skill drills, stick ground-fighting. This book also includes a very special section on impact weapon retention covering everything from the carry site to use. Plus, it has more than 40 stick takedowns starting from the head on down to the ankle. This is the complete guide to the use of the 'stick' as a tactical tool. It does not detail stick-versus-stick as a Filipino martial arts weapons or course of study. This is a completely practical, tactical training and reference manual. The material focuses on tactics, not on the martial artsy segment of this material. If you are interested in the art only, this is not the book for you. But if you are interested in tactics, strategies, history, and application of impact weapons, this book was written for you.
