Tony Pitchford's Reviews > Defendu

This is a fascinating read and a must for anyone interested in self defence and martial arts. W.E. Fairbairn is a well known figure to military historians and this book is testament to the straightforward, practical and direct approach one would expect from the British army circa 1942. Brutal and uncompromising techniques are described and illustrated with clear images. I have to confess that, regardless of the seriousness of the content, I was amused by the number of techniques described to attack an opponent that ended in a strike to the groin. If anyone knows of Master Ken and Ameri-Do-Te, you will understand.
