I expected something a little different when I pre ordered this book. I didn't expect the awesome quality of the pages, nor the excellent page designs and layouts. Being in the Army, I have the FM this book was based off of and Greg has done a great job putting this book together. The photos for each movement show the progression clearly, as well, if there is a portion that can not be seen from one angle, they show you the other angle as well so you can get the full picture of what is going on with the movement.

Each technique is clearly defined and laid out for you to see. With the movements you are given a quick reference of additional techniques and follow up movements... for example; if you are looking at technique 1 and want to know what additional techniques or follow up movements there are, look at the bottom corner of the page. It will tell you for follow up movements go to movement 107.

I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of this book and its content.

I feel that it is a must own for any member of the Army interested in the Modern Army Combatives (MAC) program. If you are looking for a book that is all about kicks and punches, you will be disappointed. If you're looking for the Jeet Kune Do of Battlefield Grappling and finishing moves... this is the book.

MAC is an evolving system, just like JKD, this book gives you the intro to MAC and some more advanced techniques... if you want something to learn quickly, realistic and is very very easy to learn, this is the book for you.
