Close Quarters Combat: A Practical Manual for Survival, Control, and Exit
Samuel T. Grady
What this book is - and what it isn't.
This is a real-world manual for surviving violent encounters at close range. It strips away the fantasy combat of videogames and movies - and replaces it with a principled, pragmatic, and legally aware system built for civilians, instructors, and security professionals who want usable skills, not theater.
Inside you'll learn:
• The Combative Mindset - how to see danger early, manage fear, and make decisions under pressure.
• Anatomy & Targeting - high-percentage targets, why they work, and the ethical/legal limits on using them.
• Offensive & Defensive Tools - palm strikes, elbows, knees, takedowns, and ground survival focused on getting back to your feet.
• Weapon Integration - realistic defense against knives and handguns; using improvised tools appropriately; when compliance is the correct move.
• Scenarios & Stress Training - confined spaces, low-light, multiple attackers, and full After-Action Reviews so practice becomes capability.
• Aftercare & Legal Survival - M.A.R.C.H. trauma care, IFAK components, an incident-statement template, and a guide to finding a self-defense attorney.
