A History Of W.E. Fairbairn by Phil 'Bristolbloke' Matthews

The Article linked to below was written by, and is copyrighted to, Phil Matthews in 2007. Phil lives in the U.K. and is a long time researcher of WW2 Combatives with an emphasis on the British instructors, training, equipment and methodology that formed the basis of what people like myself practice for self defense.

The premier name among those whose methods were used to train such groups as the British Commandos, the SOE, the US Marine Raiders, the OSS, and others was William Ewart Fairbairn. If some of you reading this Blog don't know that name, you're about to find out.

But I'm not going to tell you.

I'm going to let Phil Matthews do that.
