Defendu was the curriculum W.E. Fairbairn & Eric Sykes taught to police officers, thus it contained a lot of arresting holds. The curriculum they taught to the military and to SOE & OSS they simply called gutterfighting. Sykes trained the SOE recruits while Fairbairn was loaned out to train American OSS.

Going through the videos to edit them, I kept thinking to myself “I have to train with this man while he is still able bodied”

American Southerners call American Northerners "Yankees". South Americans call all Americans "Yankees". But, I have never heard a Canadian or Brit say that. I'm a Yank to you, sir. By the way, are we forgetting Canadian Bill Underwood???

[@johnmartin7597]

I think the word Yankee morphed from a native American word for the English, or whites. Just something I heard, but I'm in Scotland so maybe not fair to be commenting on North American stuff

[@patrickh9937]

I've read that it was originally applied to New Yorkers, and stemmed from all the Dutch who lived here. The 2 most common Dutch names were apparently (supposedly?) Jan and Kees. Put them together and you get...

I don't believe Churchill said the US/Canadian unit was the best Commando unit in WW2 as no British leader would say that over the British Commandos who eere the first!

[@filster1934]

Well, Churchill was 1/2 American.
