Schalk's Little Book of Combative Principles by Schalk Holloway Pdf
Combatives, both in the sense of a set of techniques as well as a complete system, runs on very specific principles. These principles differ significantly from traditional martial arts and sport fighting systems. Most frequently combatives are applied within combat, law enforcement, security or self defense contexts. This means that the risk of severe injury or death is ever present. When we don''t understand or incorporate true combative principles into our training we run the risk of losing within a context where losing can cost us our lives. In this Little Book: The 3 main contextual considerations when it comes to combatives training and development. The importance of understanding your context and the factors that are influenced by context. Introduction to the Combative Triad. The core principles for successfully managing close combat incidents. Considerations on what needs to be included in training to successfully incorporate these principles. The "Schalk''s Little Book Series" is a collection of concise treatments on certain martial arts and combative related themes and topics. All the books are just under 10 000 words in length and purposefully designed to be easily digested and referenced.
