About this listen

Is the true story of how a GySgt. Dale Simmons tried to introduce the Russian military hand-to-hand combat art SAMBO to the Marine Corps. His COUNTER-SAMBO course was in 23 instructional sections, and he trained 93 Marines up to Instructor level.

It has elements of power politics, group personal inter-dynamics, physical and emotional conflict, psychological and physical violence, and real hand-to-hand combat.

The book shows the circuitous course Simmons had to take to not only learn martial arts on his own but also the challenge and hurdles he had to take to present this amazing hand-to-hand combat course to the Marine Corps.
