The details..

Kill or Get Killed by Major Rex Applegate is a comprehensive guide on close-combat training. The material in this book was compiled from study and practical experiences of experts in various fields of combat discussed within its pages. It includes instructions on unarmed combat, disarming, knife fighting and other weapons.

The origin of these techniques began with Chinese monks who developed them to protect themselves against robber bands and nomad tribes centuries ago. This system has been further refined by Japanese practitioners over time into jiu-jitsu which later evolved into judo - now used in body alley to develop an offensive spirit.

In the early 1920s a branch teaching judo established itself in New York City before spreading throughout larger cities across America; however it initially only gained popularity among Orientals due to its tedious amount of practice required for mastery.

KILL OR GET KILLED provides insight into modern day self-defense that can be applied not just by military personnel but also police officers, law enforcement agents or civilians looking for useful knowledge about defending oneself.
