This study analyzes the feasibility of guerrilla warfare as the basis for a strategy of airpower employment for a weak air force confronting an opponent with a stronger air force. The analysis begins with a distillation of the theory of guerrilla warfare into five elements essential to its success: superior intelligence, security, mobility advantage, surprise, and sustainment. The author then compares the ground combat environment of the traditional guerrilla with the airpower environment of the potential air guerrilla and concludes that these five elements can be met in the airpower environment provided the weak force has sufficient ingenuity and the necessary resources. An investigation of recent trends in technology and the prevailing strategic environment indicates that it increasingly possible for a weak force to obtain these resources. The author assesses that air guerrilla warfare is a viable warfighting strategy, but points out that the likelihood of a weak force actually adopting air guerrilla warfare will depend on its regional security needs and its resolve to protract a conflict. The study concludes that air guerrilla warfare is a credible threat to a stronger opponent. To meet this threat, the author recommends that the United States re-examine its intervention strategy, reinforce its policy of strategic engagement, and research both airpower and non-airpower means to neutralize an elusive guerrilla air force.

This manual describes the basic principles in the application of control and restraint techniques. The application of these principles is necessary to the development of those combative skills essential to air police personnel in the performance of their official duties.

Police defensive tactics are NOT the same as self-defense. The role of defensive tactics in law enforcement and corrections is to assist the officer in performance of arrest and restraint, and to increase the margin of safety for both the officer and the suspect. Defensive tactics charge the officer with protecting others as well as themselves. The definition of "defend" as used here is neither punitive nor passive, but instead "to repel danger or harm while serving and protecting." Meanwhile, self-defense encompasses any and all means of protecting oneself. Self-defense techniques are not meant to apprehend an assailant. Indeed, there is no regard for the safety of the attacker whatsoever. So obviously self-defense and defensive tactics are not synonymous.

The science of defense exemplified in short and easy lessons for the practice of the broad sword and single stick.

This manual covers basic close quarter fighting techniques including unarmed hand-tohand fighting, bayonet fighting, and knife fighting.

The war of strategy.

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.

Many of us in the computer 'underground' are used to seeing various postings about bugs and backdoors in various pieces of software and hardware that make up this vast culture that we are a part of. But how many of us know, that for example, the human body contains many weaknesses, bugs if you will, that can be exploited.

This method has been devised to enable a man without any weapons to deal effectively and rapidly with an unarmed enemy.

(From the author) Close Quarter Battle (CQB) is a subject that engenders as many opinions as there are people who teach it, and the last thing I want to do is confuse you with my own brand of what technique works best. But what I do intend is to give you a better understanding of what CQB is, and then give you a few hints on how to find a good instructor.

When you objectify your opponent he is no longer the 6' 5", 280lb kickboxing monster. He is reduced to a groin, a thigh, a knee or a pair of eyes.

Self defense becomes more important every year. Yet the traditional Martial Arts demand a physical fitness and understanding of complex techniques which are beyond most of us. HERE IS A NEW AND PRACTICAL SYSTEM WHICH RECOGNIZES OUR LIMITATIONS. It is quick and easy to learn because it is based on adopting one move to a variety of defensive situations. This system assumes that the defense will be against a more powerful attacker.

Self-Defense practitioners are always looking to improve their odds of surviving a self-defense situation. We will spend hundreds of dollars on equipment, travel all over the world seeking expert instruction and train their bodies until the point of exhaustion.

How To Use T’ai Chi As a Fighting Art - This book should be of great interest to both t’ai chi practitioners and non-T’ai chi practitioners alike. A book on T’ai Chi as a “fighting art” is long overdue. There are many people who still recognize and consider T’ai Chi as only a health exercise. I feel that this book will be very informative to the martial arts community and a must for everyone’s martial arts library.

Taijiquan History And Development.

There are about thirty targets on the human body that provide good stopping power. Of these, the points on the throat and head are the ones most likely to cause unconsciousness or death. However, powerful blows to the heart or genitals also can cause unconsciousness or death. So you should direct attacks toward the head, neck, heart, and genitals only during life-threatening emergencies.
This said, shot placement matters. So the names for the most lethal points on the head, neck, chest, and groin are described below using both Chinese and Western anatomical terms.
