It outlines a comprehensive course of training that includes striking methods/stances/movement/hand techniques/kicks. Also covered are special defensive techniques for dealing with an armed opponent as well. The second book, Fine Points of Hand to Hand Combat , is a brief training pamphlet (presumably a U.S. Army Training Aid) created to help soldiers review and reinforce their Hand-to-Hand combat instruction while in basic training. Created in 1968, it presents various move and techniques in an easy to read, visual comic book style similar to other training booklets of this period.
