Unarmed Combat Essentials

The Recon Method

Unarmed combat is a critical component of self-defense, focusing on effective, battle-tested techniques designed for survival and real-world application. The Recon Method integrates WWII combatives with modern self-defense principles, ensuring a direct, efficient, and adaptable approach to hand-to-hand combat.

Our unarmed combat system is built on the core principles of WWII military combatives—designed for simplicity, power, and effectiveness in high-stress situations. This is enhanced with additional techniques specifically tailored for civilian self-defense and survival.
