UNLEACH THE POWER OF WW2 CLOSE COMBAT

WW2 close combat is a highly effective form of self defense that was used against the Nazi's and the Japanese to help win the second world war. WW2 close combat encompasses a diverse range of combat techniques designed for close quarters fighting scenarios. These techniques include hand to hand fighting, advanced fire arm point shooting and fighting skills with various weapons such as knives, bayonets, stick/clubs, and improvised weapons. These techniques were initially developed by extremely experienced and high level military personnel and taught to British and American Commandos during WW2 because of its effectiveness and retention.

Historical Background 

The origins of WW2 close combat can be traced back to the policing tactics employed by law enforcement forces in Shanghai China International Settlement. This period in history saw the pioneering concepts and tactics that supported modern day SWAT (special weapons and tactics) units worldwide because this style of training was highly effective. These special police units upheld law and order in Shanghai, which was widely regarded as one of the most dangerous ports cities in the world in that period.  

World Wide Application of Close Combat Training

With the outbreak of world war 2, U.S veterans of the Shanghai municipal police played a crucial role in training various allied military units in close combat. These units include renowned elite forces such as British commandos, the special air service (SAS), the special boat service (SBS) as well as the U.S. and Canadian 1st special service force, commonly known as the "Devil's brigade" additionally WW2 close combat was taught to intelligence personnel within organizations such as the U.S. office of strategic services (OSS), which served as the precursor to the central intelligence agency (CIA). Also other elite units like the British Special Operation Executive, U.S. Marine Raider Units, and the U.S. Army Rangers were among the many elite groups that received training in WW2 close combat.     

The S.A.S.D.T.C. has not tamed but has modified WW2 close combat for self defense and street fight applications. The modification of the WW2CC is still highly proficient as a self defense system for civilian use. Now with many countries opening their dungeons, basements and deepest dirty holes of their most vile prisons and insane asylums and releasing their lunatic human-like monsters into our country we all should start training in a self protection system that will prevail in a kill or be killed encounter. This is not a martial art this is a violent and highly effective style of fighting that can be mastered in a short period of time, but the more you train the more proficient you become, like anything else in life that you do.You do not need to work through colored belts to get a black belt to be able to protect yourself and your loved ones
