American Combat Judo [Annotated]

By Bernard J. Cosneck

Bernard "Barney" Cosneck won two Big Ten wrestling championships and later he served as Judo instructor in the United States Coast Guard. He also co-authored "How to Fight Tough" with Jack Dempsey. In "American Combat Judo" he has adapted the best of Japanese Ju Jitsu, Savate (French foot-fighting), Chinese boxing and American wrestling to produce simple but effective techniques for both offensive and defensive purposes. The book was originally authored in 1944 and is illustrated with 188 photo sequences. This new annotated edition contains additional information and resources on particular techniques that will further inform the reader as well as digitally restored photographs. This book is a history lesson in self defense theory and the early evolution of mixed martial arts and a must have for any martial arts library.
