Condición: New. 2017 N&M Press reprint of original Edition. SB. 52pp. Illustrated. Originally published during the Second World War, Major Fairbairnâs âHands Off!â shows the emancipated woman how to deal with any âunpleasantâ situation which would immeasurably increase their efficiency in the War Effort. The methods of self-defe…nce explained and illustrated were especially selected for use by women, taking into account their disadvantages of weight, build and strength. They are all practicable, and many were originally worked out in answer to the question âwhat should I do if I were attacked like thisâ.Amongst the twenty measures advocated are: Wrist Hold â" Being Strangled â" How to Apply the âChin Jabâ â" Bear Hug â" Waist, Coat, Hair and Belt Holds â" Umbrella Drill â" Car âHold Upâ â" âGive Me a Lightâ. They are all as valid today as they were seventy years ago.

Condición: New. 2017 N & M Press reprint of 1942 original Edition. SB. 132pp. Illustrated. The author of this concise guide to unarmed combat and self-defence is a legend. W. E. Fairbairn (1885-1960) spent over thirty years in the tough environment of the Riot Squads of Chinaâs Shanghai Municipal Police. In order to lower levels… of Police mortality at the hands of Chinese Tongs, he studied ancient Chinese and Japanese martial arts, including Ju-jitsu, and was the first foreigner to be awarded a black belt in the discipline. He developed his own system which he called âDefenduâ. At the outbreak of the Second World War, he was recruited by Britainâs Special Operations Executive as an Instructor in unarmed combat and expounded the deadly mysteries of attack and defence to scores of trainee agents about to be dropped into occupied Europe. His methods were approved and officially adopted throughout the British army. Fairbairn also developed weapons and defence aids such as bullet proof vests. He is best known as the co-inventor of the famous Sykes-Fairbairn knife. In this book he expounds his distilled experience of unarmed combat. Fully illustrated, it shows how to deliver deadly blows with hand, fist, knee and boot; wrist, bear- and strangle holds (and how to break them); how to throw an enemy, and how to break their backs; how to disarm a pistol-wielding attacker; and securing a prisoner. The book also contains a chapter on the use of the rifle in close combat by Captain P. N. Walbridge.

Condición: New. SB 171 pp Illustrated throughout 2019 N&MP Reprint of 1926 Original EditionPublished Price £7.99 The Fairbairn's system was based on his training and knowledge in boxing, wrestling, savate, jujutsu, judo and fights he was involved in during his police work, Fairbairn began to develop his own system of hand to ha…nd combat, initially referring it as "Defendu". It was designed to be simple to learn and to provide effective results. Fairbairn published his book, Defendu, in 1926[2] (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 had been based mainly in the Eastern martial arts that Fairbairn had learned. Thus, in an attempt to highlight the originality of Fairbairn's material, the term did not appear in the 1931 edition of the book.Fairbairn was called upon by the British to help train and riot control.The original Defendu was oriented towards self-defence and Allied troops in World War II. Fairbairn and others expanded on this system to create the Close Quarters Combat system that was then taught to the troops. This system was built on Defendu, but modified for military applications, rather than policerestraint, while the Close Quarters Combat system concentrated on rapid disabling of an opponent, with potentially lethal force. The militarised version of Defendu is described in the military manual All in fighting 1942, used as a supplement during WW2 CQB-training. This book was later published in a civilian edition, missing the chapters on bayonet-fighting and rifle sighting, under the name Get Tough! How To Win In Hand-To-Hand Fighting. As Taught To The British Commandos And The U.S. Armed Forces. Fairbairn's CQC-system is also described in Rex Applegate's book Kill or Get Killed.Publications:Defendu, first published in 1926 in Shanghai by the North China Daily News & Herald Ltd.Scientific Self-Defence, first published in 1931 by D.

Originally published during the Second World War, Major Fairbairnâs âHands Off!â shows the emancipated woman how to deal with any âunpleasantâ situation which would immeasurably increase their efficiency in the War Effort. The methods of self-defe…nce explained and illustrated were especially selected for use by women, taking into account their disadvantages of weight, build and strength. They are all practicable, and many were originally worked out in answer to the question âwhat should I do if I were attacked like thisâ.Amongst the twenty measures advocated are: Wrist Hold â" Being Strangled â" How to Apply the âChin Jabâ â" Bear Hug â" Waist, Coat, Hair and Belt Holds â" Umbrella Drill â" Car âHold Upâ â" âGive Me a Lightâ. They are all as valid today as they were seventy years ago.

SB 96pp+ plates 2017 N&MP Reprint of 1942 Original Edition This book is an excellent summary and was the first time that fighting with firearms was clearly and explicitly disassociated from classical target/range shooting.This is the concept that spawned most modern pistol techniques because it is simple, effecti…ve and proven. It is written as instruction to police forces in the methods of shooting (reflexive/instinctive) and training (realistic/challenging) that the author developed over two decades active service in Shanghai. This book is published strictly for historical purposes.
