Welcome to Hand to Hand-Combat.com
Hand to hand combat is close range fighting between two or more opponents. Close Quarter Combat (CQC) and Close Quarters Battle (CQB) are military terms referring to short-range engagements with weapons, possibly culminating in hand to hand combat.
Hand to hand combat (HTH, H2H, Hand to Hand) can be armed or unarmed and takes place within the limits of grappling range. Weapons including guns, knives, batons, clubs are commonly used short-range weapons. Objects easily grasped in the immediate environment are potential weapons or ‘weapons of opportunity’ during close combat. Beyond grappling range, projectile weapons are used by combatants thus moving the engagement away from close combat.
Military organisations have been at the forefront of refining effective and deadly hand to hand combat training during the last half century. Krav Maga and Russian Systema are examples of close combat systems with military beginnings. MCMAP is the United States Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. The US Army has developed MAC – Modern Army Combatives.
The armed services, police forces, security consultants use hand to hand combat to deal with dangerous ‘close-quarter’ situations – that of being ‘one on one’ with an enemy. These ‘enemies’ may be highly trained operatives with access to the same fighting techniques. They may have fanatical beliefs which predispose them to show relentless aggression despite injury or trauma. Or perhaps they’re just criminally and violently insane.
Civilian hand to hand fighting finds expression in traditional martial arts training, mma training as well as practical self defense methods such as Krav Maga. Hand to hand combat training will make you an effective weapon against those wishing to do you harm.
