Man, fairbarn's movement style is psycho killer, he's moving in as quick as possible like a predator to deliver some horrific sadistic death move. There is no dancer pose about him.

What a shame there isnt more footage to admire from this combat specialist.

[@TonyqTNT]

Fairbairn gave a condensed version of hand to hand to combat to military troops who had to train quickly in order to be deployed. Imagine the wealth of knowledge of Chinese and Japanese martial arts systems Fairbairn accumulated while being stationed in Shanghai!

[@stefanschleps8758]

I love these old films. My father was military police for twenty two years. With third armored. The first kung fu book I ever read was by Colonel Rex Applegate. The very popular tome ''kill or be killed.'' That was more than fifty years ago. (See below.) Thanks for posting. Overcome the darkness. Return the Light.

I'm so proud to call this man my great uncle,he was my grandads brother and what a great person he was,I stayed with his daughter 'Tim' many years ago and also met his son John, extraordinary family

[@hughmanatee7657]

Thank you for that-it is wonderful to hear from living descendants of such influential people.

[@andrewsmall7492]

Lynnette Fairbairn, respect, young lady. You should be proud, and rightly so. Brits are enormously proud of him, his contribution to the War effort and the fact that without him and his advice and training hostilites would have continued much longer at the cost of many more lives from both sides. A man for the ages, an icon. When you hold a Fairbain -Sykes combat dagger in your hand you feel invincible, honestly it has been 50 years for me, but you never forget that moment.

There is an episode of Cops where an elderly guy who was an ex paratrooper did the face claw to a younger guy who pushed his walker up against him , the damage to his eyes was significant and the cops actually asked the older guy if that was a military move , and he said " yes they taught us to kill "

The fight on the train in from Russia with love. Sean Connery does it too.

[@davidmartinez9804]

He uses the Ox Tongue Palm which is from Yin Fu Bagua. This is what somebody with real knowledge of internal Kungfu looks like. 🔥☯️

[@waltersegal4506]

Fairbairn was a master both of hand-to-hand and of knife fighting. He designed the best combat knife in the world, the Fairbairn-Sykes dagger.

[@michaelm.3328]

Great video. I plan to do more reading on Fairbairn & Applegate so that I can find out more about them and their fighting techniques.

[@currentlyknown8164]

Is this the same group responsible for the cant degree of the dagger like a mark II from 1968 ? Or devil's brigade Canada. Incredibly motivated for much more training insights. Great story. Greater history. Greatest teams.

[@dannyfubar3099]

Excellent Post, Thank You for Sharing.

[@laurencelance586]

a HIGHLY influential individual and a nightmare to have to face in combat.

[@taylorbee4010]

Probably one of those dudes who could just run through ten people and keep on going.

[@robertlehnert4148]

Fairbairn in the International Quarter of Shanghai was right next to the French quarter. I think WWI "trench Savate" was a good part of Gutterfighting.

[@ESJ593]

And the story goes that when he had shown you how to put them on the floor, he would always finish off by saying " and then kick them in the balls "

[@entertaichi]

Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome day!

[@markstarkey5940]

Awesome ....

[@I-QUAN]

Thanks for posting- i do a bit of bagua & saw another vid on the knife , but didn't know any of this 👍🏼 will research more

[@donjames7971]

No fancy-looking but effective ...

[@bigbill74scots]

The way he moves with that knife..the man was just on another level altogether.

[@laurencelance586]

He did an interview in which the host asked him if carrying a knife was difficult. I'd guess he was in his 60s at the time and he oh so casually somehow had it appear in his hand, almost like a magic trick. Man knew what he was about.

[@clarencenorem9337]

ok..the circle is complete now ,,,we are now back to the begining of the westerner learning essentuial CHINESE BOXING AND (CHI-NA) GRAPPLEING ,, BOTH TIED TO A RAW and basic form of KICKING,, SELF DEFENSE AT ITS BEST

[@TOREIKAN]

Trés intéressant documentaire.

[@JoanieKennedy]

And that little feller was the wrong person to pick a fight with.

[@robertcrowther8202]

Wow the real deal

[@alanrogs3990]
