You can see the value of these skills in self defense when your primary objective is to escape and survive with as little contact with the enemy as possible.ĭermott “Pat” O’Neill was a protégé of Fairbairn, father of all modern military/police combatives training. Here mobility was the primary concern to create avenues of escape to secure a weapon or seek cover against large numbers of multiple attackers trying to kill you.
This method was used to train infantry and shock troops fighting in battlefield situations.

These are not public domain, recycled videos – all programs are taught by modern masters. Work is unrelenting when it comes to drilling basic skill sets until they come instinctive, whilst the good old military methodology of keeping it “super simple” is employed.And now you can own this valuable piece of Combatives History with The World War II Defendu Training Pack. One thing that did strike home was how the principles really were very much the same as KAPAP.

Plus a few lads from Aylesbury Krav Maga club had come along for the show.Īlex wanted to spend the day working on basic striking skills so thankfully we had invested in plenty of strike shields for the occasion. Turnout was awesome! As usual plenty of our KAPAP GY crew turned up from both the Great Yarmouth and Norwich clubs. Yep straight up folks it basically had to work for them, but it’s not sure if many could crush a raw potato in their hands, apparently to become an instructor grip strength was primary and was a test that had to be passed.Īnyway, sorry, side tracked again. Believe it or not the actual fighting system is primarily a female system. So, firstly we have to state that the aim of the seminar was self defence and no silent killing of sentries or enemy combative took place. A mixer of Savate, ju jitsu, judo, wrestling and boxing. Sykes being an expert marksman he was asked to help form and oversee a team of civilian and police snipers for the SMP and eventually became head of the unit in 1937.Ĭombining their experience, the pair of them designed a fighting system especially for the SMP called Defendu. Sykes who was working for the British Secret Service. Surviving being stabbed he continued to soldier on through this huge boiling pot of violence in what at the time was considered the world’s most violent city. When he left the army he joined the Shanghai Municipal Police (SMP) serving in the most colourful parts of Shanghai dealing with the worst of the worst. He basic became a martial arts bum spending his time practising various forms of martial arts with Japanese and Korean fighters.
Bluffing his way into the army (Royal Marines) at the age of 15 he was posted to Japanese occupied Korea in 1903. Fairbairn certainly came from the hard school of knocks. So, in the spirit of the training method, let’s get straight to the point.īritish Lt.
