Hello! This is Hock, the author. We no longer publish this book. It was written years ago. The best part of the book is the 30 to 40 true knife-fight, war stories I have collected after countless hours researching war books. I sent several long, days in a military museum with walls of old books as part of the research. Warning, some of these stories ar very short, some are a few pages. Anyway, these same stories and more will all appear in my new, upcoming Training Mission 10 book, now in production. The rest of the book, without a base reference in knife tactics that we show elsewhere in my newer books and DVDs, will not offer much physical help. (That is why it will appear in book 10 of my series, after you've seen all the physical steps). You can find out about these new hand, stick, knife and gun books and DVD sets by searching on my name W. Hock Hochheim. Well, get this if you want to? But, I wouldn't if I were you. I'd spend my money on the newer, bigger, better Hand, Stick, Knife and Gun Training Mission books.

This review is for the complete three (currently) volume set; vol. One: Knife Fighting Encyclopedia, vol. Two: Military Knife Combat, vol. Three: Unarmed Versus The Knife. With Hochs work I have taken my limited training of knife fighting for the military and expanded on that basic foundation and now feel quite comfortable and competent of my level of knife employment. After reading then applying his instruction, I found out just how inadequate the current military program of instruction in combative/knife fighting is lacking.Hocks books cover from the very basics all the way up to silent sentry removal. His first book is a must for all knife fighter/marital artists or concerned citizen. His second volume is geared toward military/paramilitary and law enforcement types. This volume would have limited use in the civilian sector. Finally is the third volume which again should be required reading for all the above. This book could stand-alone for the person just wanting information to thwart an attack on the street from a knife-wielding nut.The qualities of these soft cover volumes are excellent. The text and pictures are clear, crisp and easy to understand. The structure and set up of the content is done in a building block format, so you learn the basics first, then build on to them with more advanced and complex skills as you progress. The only thing I think all the volumes lack is an index section at the end of the books.My final words are; buy these books all of them! Hock I look forward to your next volume.

Even more than the realistic and valuable instruction, I enjoyed the stories out of the mouths and pens of those who had "been there" and "done that". So much in martial arts is based on conjecture, uninformed assumption, and plain bad information that reality such as this is a breath of fresh air.Believe me - the thug in the street, or the enemy on the battlefield doesn't care that you learned your jumping spinning backhand crane knife technique from the 15th generation hereditary grandmaster of wazzu-fu. Simplicity is effective, and the tactics in this book are effective. Beyond that, the methods of practice are excellent.Buy this book to learn more about the knife.John Moore...

If you believe you will some day be face with no choice but to engage in the mess of a knife fight, this is a must read publication. You just might live!

This is the finest researched book on the subject. Very complete. The detail and real life flavor is excellent.

It was an interesting book.
