“Combat Craft” is the title of the book by the head of the “Shchiten” club, Vadim Kondratiev, founder of the Zarechensk school of combat fencing. For our troubled times, the book is timely. The probability of being in a shootout is astronomically less than the probability of being beaten to death by a gang of drug addicts or becoming crippled under a drunken knife, bottle or stick. How to increase the chances of your own survival? How to determine the very moment when it is time to hit? How exactly to hit ?Tactics and combat skills in the widest range of weapons used - from a knife, sapper shovel and mount to a stick, baseball bat and sword. The technique of the Zarechensk school is not a sport or a mysterious art. It is an ordinary martial craft.
