DATED MATERIAL BUT SOMEWHAT RELEVANT STILL!

Only a handful of men of the time have contributed so much to the development of western combatives, one such man is the W. E. Fairbairn. He was a visionary of his time and was instrumental in formulating combat techniques for the British Commando and the Shanghai Police that were later adopted and expanded on by other westerners like Applegate.

Fairbairn fighting style know as "Defendu" (which he has authored another book titled the same) which is hybrid of Chinese karate, ju-jitsu and gutter/street fighting, using only the most practical, effective and brutal moves to quickly dispatch an opponent. Every move and technique explained in this book was combat proven in war and on the mean streets of the era. This book also covers topics on; handgun disarming, Knife fighting/defense, and stick fighting.

Overall this is a significant text for ultimately its historical value on the evolution of military combatives. Again the material may be dated and some of the methods debunked. But this does not make this information any less relevant for study.

Start here to GET TOUGH and stay alive

Get Tough This book is a down and dirty way to end a physical altercation before it starts. The descriptions and procedures are straight to the point without lengthy text to crawl through. It is a quick read and easy to understand. Great for a primer on the topic or just a simple review. This book should be the alpha and omega text of self-defense. Everything else in between is simply fill-in material and fluff..

Get tough

Good book. Old school WWI techniques, but very nice and new techniques to me, even as a martial artist of many years. Recommend it! A coulple of the techniques are a little tricky to visualize what they are doing in the pictures but the majority are clearly stated.

Get Touch the easy way!

Having owned this book for little over a week now, and only having read it some-what quickly, and just the once so far... it is well layed out, easy to follow the instructions and simple in the language the auther uses. Most of the instruction is suited to the streets and the defence needed for most of the common attacks on the unsuspecting public. So all-in-all I would say it is a book I would recomend to anyone who fears for their safty.
If I had any complaint to make about it, it would be that some of the moves in the book are so severe that should they be used in good and earnest you would probably end up in jail.

The father of modern hand-to-hand combat, Capt. W. E. Fairbairn, taught the famed British Commandos from this classic, long-out-of-print manual on unarmed combat. Known for his "get tough" attitude, Fairbairn designed these practical methods after years of training troops and watching ruffians, thugs, bandits and bullies. Now you can profit from his experience.
