Fairbairn This book, by the man who taught them, shows how the British Commandos fought in the Second World War in unarmed hand-to hand combat.
It shows how they won their fights - even against enemies who were bigger, stronger, and armed.
Brute strength is not required.
This book shows you how to put a thug out of action with your bare hands, so fast he wont know whats hit him.
Get Tough is filled with clear, graphic line drawings which, with the easy-to-follow directions, demonstrate the Fairbairn System.
The author, Major W.
Fairbairn, was a tough Police officer who spent 30 years with the Shanghai Municipal Police, where he learned ju-jitsu (Judo), Chinese boxing and other martial arts.
He was senior instructor to British Special Forces during the war, and was the co-inventor of the legendary Sykes-Fairbairn Commando knife.
While in China he became the first foreigner, living outside Japan, ever admitted to Kodokan Jiu-Jutsu University in Tokyo where he was awarded the black belt, second degree.
Combining all the knowledge thus acquired he developed a system that stopped the Shanghai terrorists in their tracks, demoralised the Nazis, and probably proved a decisive factor in the success of Allied Special forces in World War Two.
This is a must book for the armed forces, civilian defence groups, police, security guards, and indeed anyone whose life may be threatened.
