On Combat
Practical & Experiential Handbook of Autonomous Combat
On Combat

A handbook of advice for practitioners of the armed and unarmed combat forms who fight for physical, moral and legal survival in this evil world. The capstone sequel to: The Fighting Edge, Winter of a Fighting Life, Letters from Planet Meathead, American Fist, Thriving in Bad Places, Let the Weak Fall, The Punishing Art, Twerps, Goons and Meatshields, Being a Bad Man in a Worse World, and The Combat Space
 
On Combat is the conclusion of one man’s attempt to codify the methods of maintaining his personal autonomy in the Reign of the Sissy, to be able to recognize, avoid, evade and combat criminal aggressions without bringing down government aggression. This 20-year discussion has taken two general tacks, combat with empty hand, blunt weapon and knife and also navigating the toxic social space of a civilization which is actually dedicated to denying a man’s ability to defend himself from the criminal hordes it has spawned. This book will begin with advice on training and competition and end with advice on what, was, in my youth categorized as “street survival” a term that seems so quaint at this remove, yet a designation that retains a certain poignant note which I am loathe to abandon at this late stage in the ongoing protest that can be a man’s only lot in this pit of effeminate rot.

[Adobe] [Wikipedia: Portable Document Format]
How do I read/open it?
By 2020 most modern devices have a built-in method for handling these files. If you require software, there is plenty of free apps/programs to read PDFs with. PC users try Foxit or Sumatra. Mac users try Skim. Unix/Linux users, you know what to do. Apple iPhone users → Apple Store. Android → Playstore.
Do you take wampum or bitcoin?
No. But our payment processor accepts all major credit cards.
How will I receive the book?
The store uses an automated delivery system. After the Stripe transaction completes, our server will send you an email containing a link to download your book. We use the email provided during the Stripe checkout.
WHERE'S MY EMAIL !?!?
Most of our emails go through. However, some folks' mail providers will block the content thinking it is spam (some of James' titles are buzz words for internet filters). If after a few minutes you haven't received anything, EMAIL US at <store@123jameslafond.com> and we will resolve delivery. Satisfaction Guaranteed.
When I click on my product link, nothing happens, or a tab opens/disappears. Help!
Occasionally your mail provider will refuse to pop-open email links from 'untrusted' sources. Two workarounds in Windows: [Right-Click] + [Save-Link-As] or you can try [Right-Click] + [Open-In-New-Tab]. If you are using a cellular device, try navigating to your Downloads directory and searching for the file there. If you have no luck, drop us a line at <store@123jameslafond.com> and we can send the book as an attachment in an email. Works every time.
Will book(s) be available for downloading/viewing indefinitely?
No. The store encourages you to download your eBooks once you receive them. This way, any future misfortunes with our website will not impact your purchase.
Yesterday I bought a book. Today it's been upgraded / rolled into an anthology. I feel cheated.
Let us know. We'll make it right. Because of the mass of Jim's writing and our ever-fledgling efforts to publish it, we are now finding it necessary to bundle older and like-themed store titles, to keep room and stay organized. Moving forward, expect more and more bundles. We appreciate your understanding.
