I was trained with the PR-24 side-handle baton (tonfa) and later in jo-jitsu (short stick) and bo-jitsu (long staff). After the military I was trained with the ASP brand collapsible baton for law enforcement. I had read this book by Joseph C. Hess long before my ASP training and found the ASP a wonderfully natural transition. Everything learned in this book was perfect for implementing the ASP. Even after certification in the ASP, this book fills in the gaps and provides wonderful "completeness". If you are an MP, civilian security officer, or in any other law enforcement community, you will be greatly pleased with this book, particularly in the chapters: Drawing the Night Stick, Defense Against Grabs, and Car-In/Car-Out Techniques. Written in 1982 and perfect still.
