Street Fighting America's Martial Art by George Carpentor

ESCAPE EVASION AND OTHER THINGS TO SAVE YOUR ASS WHEN THINGS GET UGLY - MARC MACYOUNG

If you teach self-defense, this is a must have book. Teaching fighting techniques is one thing. Teaching people to survive street violence is another altogether. Marc provides solid information that is adapted to this goal. The only other place to get it is to go into the military or other special organizations. These kinds of books are in fact all to rare. Writing about fighting techniques has more "flash" value, but they are only a very small portion of what is necessary for surviving violence

KILL-OR-GET-KILLED COL. REX APPLEGATE

This is the best and longest-selling book on close combat in history. Reprinted and in current use by the U.S. Marine Corps as an official training manual, it details methods of self-defense, offensive close combat, combat shooting and crowd-control techniques in riot situations. Colonel Rex Applegate is widely regarded as the father of modern close combat and combat shooting, and this book is considered the standard by which all other books on the subject are judged.

DO OR DIE - A. J. BIDDLE

Do or Die served as an official training guide for the U.S. Marines when it was originally published in 1937.

Col. A.J. Drexel Biddle, an expert in sword, bayonet, broadsword, dagger , brings to life the timeless techniques of the infantryman

GET TOUGH CAPTAIN W. E. FAIRBAIRN

The method of hand-to-hand fighting described in this book is the approved standard instruction for all members of His Majesty's forces. The Commandos, and parachute troops, harrying the invasion coasts
of Europe, have been thoroughly trained in its use. Britain's two-million Home Guard are daily being instructed in its simple but terrible effectiveness. The units of the United States Marine Corps who were stationed in China
between 1927 and 1940 learned these methods at my own hands when I was Assistant Commissioner of the Shanghai Municipal Police CAPTAIN W. E. FAIRBAIRN

This is a practical guide to the most efficent use of weaponless selfdefense using the least possible force.
The results of self-defense actions are described in the most accurate way possible, taking into account the factors of relative size, strength, health and emotions.

MY METHOD OF SELF DEFENCE BY MIKONOSUKE KAWAISHI

Depicts methods of "Ruthless Judo for Self-Defence". Published for keen Judoka, the Police force and the Military Establishments.
Mikonosuke Kawaishi was born in Kyoto in 1899, and he died on January 30, 1969 in Paris. He studied jujitsu at the Dai Nippon Butokukai (Greater Japan Association of Martial Virtue) in Kyoto. It is not known exactly what style of jujitsu he learned, although it seems it was a form of Aiki-jujitsu. A group in England that continues to teach this form refer to their teachings as Kawaishi Ryu Jujitsu.
In the mid-1920's he left Japan and toured the United States, teaching particularly in New York and San Diego. In 1928, he arrived in the United Kingdom and established a jujitsu club in Liverpool, where he taught Aiki-jujitsu. He supplemented his meager income from teaching by wrestling professionally under the name "Matsuda", taking on wrestlers and boxers in the ring and on stage in music halls.
In 1931, he moved to London, founding the Anglo-Japanese Judo Club and teaching Judo at Oxford University. Around this time Kawaishi was awarded his third dan by Jigoro Kano. It was common at this time for jujitsu instructors to teach, or call what they taught, Judo. Moreover, Kano awarded many jujitsu exponents Judo black belts in order to recruit them into the Kodokan.
