On Combat is the conclusion of one man’s attempt to codify the methods of maintaining his personal autonomy in the Reign of the Sissy, to be able to recognize, avoid, evade and combat criminal aggressions without bringing down government aggression. This 20-year discussion has taken two general tacks, combat with empty hand, blunt weapon and knife and also navigating the toxic social space of a civilization which is actually dedicated to denying a man’s ability to defend himself from the criminal hordes it has spawned. This book will begin with advice on training and competition and end with advice on what, was, in my youth categorized as “street survival” a term that seems so quaint at this remove, yet a designation that retains a certain poignant note which I am loathe to abandon at this late stage in the ongoing protest that can be a man’s only lot in this pit of effeminate rot.
