    There probably is, but I don't know where you could get any (besides the stuff from paladin Press, and the place that you mentioned).

    Tell you what though, I'll email Lee Morrison and ask him. He's got a masses if knowledge when it comes to all forms of CQC - old and new. :) And I'll let you know how what he says.

    Cheers,

    R.

    Hmm... Not too sure Igor to be honest. I know it's Fairbairn, Biddle and Applegate material - but I don't know how or where you could get these vids.

    Try this forum, I'm sure you'll get the answers There.

    I am interested for the simple and effective WWII Combatives (FAS methods). The best (that I have) are "Get Tough" and "Kill or Get Killed". Also very good and recommended are "Cold Steel", "Shooting To Live" and "Close-Combat Files".

    There are also some others books that could be interesting. Here are some (Paladin Press) reprints:
    - Arwrology - All Out Hand to Hand Fighting" by Dr. Gordon E. Perrigard
    - "Hand-To-Hand-Combat" - United States Naval Institute
    - "Silent Killing" - Nazi Counters to Fairbairn-Sykes Techniques
    - "Do or Die" by Lt. Colonel A J Drexel-Biddle
    - "Bullseyes Don't Shoot Back" by Col. Applegate and Michael D. Janich
    - "The Tactical Skills of Hand-to-hand Combat" by Bradley Steiner
    Is any of them recommended or essential from the "WWII Combatives" point of view? Any suggestion?

    I would recommend a few people from my experience and research
    Lamar Davis
    Hock Hocheim
    Mick Coup
    are all good instructors who have a strong track record in the world of reality self defence and combatives

    I don't like the Modern Army Combatives. Better WWII Combatives and its variations.
