In this sixth volume of the O.C.S. series, Master Salvatore Oliva presents *Close Combat Pro Military & Police*, an advanced hand-to-hand combat program for military, police, and security personnel, structured around distances, tactical principles, and weapon transitions. The book explains the three operational distances—long, medium, and short—and how to adapt to each one to intercept, neutralize, and gain the upper hand.

Oliva emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe distance from punches and kicks, applying the “before, during, and after” principle to intercept attacks. The book demonstrates basic defenses against jabs, crosses, and hooks—and their combinations—as well as progressive transitions leading to the use of fists, elbows, knees, and hammer strikes. The training emphasizes fluidity, integrating trapping techniques, energy drills, Hubad, Lap Sao, and Chi Sao to develop sensitivity, control of the center of gravity, and management of the opponent’s pressure.

The transition to knife combat is addressed, highlighting arm control, the creation of pressure, and the need to avoid static blocks. It also covers the tactical use of the handgun at close range, including drawing under pressure, weapon control, movement, and methods from the PLATT system. The program integrates strikes, trapping, weapons, and ground control, always guided by the principles of realism, effectiveness, and functionality. Finally, the training is linked to police and military operations, emphasizing the importance of tactical communication, strategy, and the ability to act according to the type of operation.

A close-quarters combat system designed for professionals who must maintain control under extreme pressure. This approach combines operational distances, stress management, situational awareness, and interception techniques that enable precise action in real-world scenarios. The method incorporates strikes, trapping, body control, ground work, and weapon transitions, always adhering to the principles of effectiveness, functionality, and proportionality. Beyond technique, O.C.S. Close Combat develops discipline, mental fortitude, and decision-making skills in critical moments.

In a world where violence must be a last resort, this system offers real-world tools for intervening, protecting, and surviving. An essential resource for military personnel, police officers, and professionals seeking modern, comprehensive, and responsible training.
