Military Combatives vs Civilian Self Defense
Combatives is a general term for hand-to-hand combat systems primarily used by members of the military. These systems focus on simple, proven, war zone survival and fighting techniques that can be learned in a short period of time. Some military combatives systems have been adapted for use by law enforcement, security professionals and civilians.
