Thai Bri,
I'm with you. I attended the academy with a few of your mates as part of a cross training program. Brits have a quarky view, or maybe its ours....
Speaking of WWII Combatives, I'm with ya', I love that stuff. I have boxes of books and manuals on Combatives from all over. I recently moved and its driving me nuts because a friend gave me a circa 1950 manual from the NYPD academy. Its packed away somewhere courtesy of the wife.
I got to look through it briefly before it was packed, and it was way cool. Boxing and Judo. Chokes using the other guy's tie, shirt collar and jacket. Restraints using the jacket and shirt. Cool stuff. The best part was the student/officer had made notes in the liner and between paragraghs. Neat to see that although a lot of things have changed, most things have stayed the same.
I gotta get some sleep because I'm done for the night and tomorrow I'm off to Miami.

Later.
