179 - Force Necessary news

Many thanks to those of you who’ve picked up a copy of the new book.

It was a huge honour to have it included on US training legend James Keating’s website (MAAJAK World) along with the following kind words from him:

“AWESOME book!!”, “Great read!”.

The book features a compilation of Journal articles and also comments from readers, it’s also a handy resource as it features the skill sets for knife, hand and impact weapons that we’ve studied in workshops this past year along with many ideas for training and development.

£14.99 / softback/ 179 pages / inc photos.
