Combatives Self Defence

Combatives is a system of fighting that was developed just before WW2 by two men named William Fairbairn & Erik Sykes. They were officers in the Shanghai Police and with Shanghai being one of the world's most dangerous they were tasked and developing a method of self-protection to be taught to the officers on the beat. The system was so successful that it was drafted to their allied forces at their training centre in Scotland. The system was adjusted slightly to the Commandos using it and re-named ”Silent Killing”. This system is brutally effective and is easily learned in a short period of time and used under pressure. The techniques come from various sources and are based on how the body reacts to stress from a real violent encounter. The main philosophy of Combatives is ”the only dirty fight is the one that you lose.” There are no belts, no grades, no nonsense. Combatives is aggressive and only designed with winning in mind. It's perfect for anyone looking for self-protection & confidence. You will learn the same method of unarmed combat that is taught to the commandos and special forces, as well as techniques to build confidence, reduce stress and control your emotional responses.
