Description

Scientific Self-Defence by W E Fairbairn is a comprehensive guide to hand-to-hand combat techniques developed from his extensive training in various martial arts. Fairbairn's system, initially known as 'Defendu', was designed to be simple yet effective, drawing on his experience in boxing, wrestling, and other disciplines. The book, first published in 1926 and later reprinted as 'Scientific Self Defence' in 1931, provides detailed illustrations of this method. The techniques outlined in the book were later adapted for military use during World War II, resulting in the development of the Close Quarters Combat system. This system was taught to Allied troops and is described in various military manuals, including 'All-in Fighting 1942'.
