Hand-to-hand combat or Combatives, is an engagement between two or more persons in an empty-handed struggle or with hand-held weapons such as knives, sticks, or firearms that cannot be fired. Proficiency in Combatives is a fundamental building block to personal survival: either in the streets as a civilian or on the battle field as one of today's modern soldiers.

Purposes of Combatives Training: Individuals must be prepared to use different levels of force in an environment where conflict may change from low intensity to high intensity over a short period of time. Many situations may restrict the use of deadly weapons. Hand-to-hand combatives training will save lives when an unexpected confrontation occurs.

Combatives training helps to instill courage, self-confidence and self-discipline. With competence comes the understanding of controlled aggression and the ability to remain focused while under duress.

The overall effect of combatives training is a successful physical fitness program that enhances individual strength, flexibility, balance, and fitness.
