FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION COMBATIVES Phase 1, Stand-up Fighting [Blu-ray]

Description

The French Foreign Legion Combatives series is broken into six phases that reflect how a fight progresses. Most fights begin with punches and kicks. If these aren't decisive, the next phase is usually stand-up grappling. Then, if the fight isn't resolved, someone usually trips or is thrown to the ground and a ground fight ensues. Phase four deals with an aspect that any combat curriculum must address: how to fight effectively against multiple opponents. The situation dictates whether phase five is applicable and how it will be applied (e.g., military, police, or civilian): control and restraint. The final phase deals with weapons, including defending against bladed weapons, impact weapons, and firearms.In Phase I: Stand-Up Fighting, Hughes provides an in-depth analysis of strikes that can be perfected in a short amount of time so they can be used right away.
