    Basic Principles of Hand-to-Hand Combat
    Inspired by Tomahawk's Aktion F1413
    You know you will have little time to stop and think when engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, your actions must be automatic. Remember, attack aggressively, with one purpose in mind: to kill.
    For a detailed overview, see Combatives, FM 3-25.150, (via U.S. Army).
    For a musical memory device to help remember these principles, see the following (via Tazwegian).Note: contains  simulated mildly violent imagery.
    All of this inspired by the mighty Tomahawk.
    What’s your opinion of these principles? Think they would serve you well in a hand-to-hand combat situation? What other suggestions would you advise? Are you also a Patton fan? Tell us in the comments!
