CLOSE - ENGAGEMENT - TARGET - ACQUISITION

Introducing
ARMAGEDDONTM​
"The Total Destruction of the Arms"
Man's primary and most dangerous weapon is his Hands. The hands can Grip, Choke, Punch, Crush, Stab, Slash, and Pull a Trigger. Without the Hands and Arms, the ability to fight offensively or defensively is greatly reduced or eliminated all together.
This system, developed by Dr. Leonard Holifield, focuses on destroying ALL parts of the Arms, to include the Hands, Fingers, Wrist, Forearm, Elbow, and Shoulder. The Bones, Joints, Muscles and Tendons of the arms are examined closely, and the ways to destroy and disable them with the blade. Take away the weapons, end the fight!
