This introduction of 'The Fairbairn Fighting System' at Camp X in conjunction with input from many highly skilled Instructors with various backgrouds and fighting skills would be the beginning of the evolution of "DEFENDO". As Close Quarter Battle or Unarmed Combat training progressed throughout this period, it was added to and refined utilizing western fighting principals, eventually becoming reffered to in slang as "DEFENDO" by Allied soldiers.

  • fairbairn was one of the GREATEST western masters ever.he started it all.the nazis called his techniques english gangster methods because of his ruthlessness.he was special.rip great one.

  • Quite right, wether it's neing refered to as 'Defendu' 'Close Combat' or 'WWII Combatives' theres no doubt in my mind that Fairbairn's system was for real.

    Any one who wants proof it works....

    Well, ever heard of the Second World War...?

  • every servicemember needed this back in the Big War. it would've stopped a lot of casualties in hand-to-hand combat situations like in Saving Private Ryan. I'd advocate for every servicemember in the Army,Navy,Marine Corps,Coast Guard & Air Force to get this kinda trainin' in BOOT CAMP.

  • @TheOldwhitebelt Thank you......thank you very much......your beautiful.

  • @metalrod23

    ASSHOLE!

  • the white jackie chan!

  • @MidnighWolf You mean the one that was fought with 1911's, Thompsons, M1 Garandes, and finally ended by nuclear bombs? That Second World War?

  • @blutobelushi Search Hans Tolhoffer... he is not known to many because his works were lost for a long time.. and have only been recently recovered within the past few decades.... but, he was a Holy Roman EMpire combat master... very prudent too... his close combative moves are extremely practical.

  • @maciverandy Its the Lone Ranger fan club.

  • @Wargoat6 Good job there mate.I understand he was the Grandmaster of Defendu ...then E.A.Sykes and then Rex Applegate.The system is STILL the best ever devised for destroying a evil antagonist.Amazing to think about. RIP to all these men and our great Allied soldiers who died in that awful War.

  • @maciverandy To conceal their identity in case the film gets stolen by the nazis.

  • @blutobelushi It was the nazi's way of saying "waaaaaah, no fair!"
