Publisher Description: The Fairbairn system was based on his training and knowledge in boxing, wrestling, savate, jujutsu, judo and fights he was also involved in during his police work. Fairbairn began to develop his own system of hand-to-hand combat, initially referring to it as 'Defendu'. It was designed to be simple to learn and to provide effective results. Fairbairn published his book, 'Defendu', in 1926 (reprinted as 'Scientific Self Defence' in 1931), illustrating this method and it is here that the term 'Defendu' first appeared. This confused early readers of the book, who assumed that the techniques within it had been based mainly in the Eastern martial arts that Fairbairn had learned. Publications: Defendu Scientific Self-Defence All-In Fighting Get Tough Hands Off (Self Defence for Women and Girls) Shooting to Live All of Fairbairn's works are published and available from The Naval & Military Press. |
