HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT & SELF DEFENSE

One of the areas of 'unarmed' combat is that of 'mano-a-mano' or simply,'mano-mano'...and for centuries people have been engaged in various styles, forms, methods, systems, etc. sometimes on a cultural or 'national' basis of origin.....lots of material on the history and development of such exists and is still being generated by groups and individuals and other organizations somewhat devoted to such 'arts' or 'sciences' or 'practices' etc. Many claim superiority and better functionality over others, especially those that are considered or labeled 'sport', 'traditional' and 'classical' or 'deadly' etc. All kinds of claims and theories and discussions on all of this abound and one can find such interesting, fascinating and bewildering... Therefore, I intend to also include some books, videos, and other information on things that I tend to somewhat favor or have found useful or extremely interesting and my discussion and listing of such things does not mean I fully endorse or practice or follow such....
